At Central Park, at least 17 species of warblers were found for the day. Other migrants showing again were Yellow-billed Cuckoo - the latter making a fairly good showing for the county this week - as well as Wood, Swainsons, Gray-cheeked, and Hermit Thrushes, and multiple Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, the latter also being seen in some other locations that include lush nectar-producing flowers - additionally at Central Park were at least 8 species of native sparrows including Lincolns, and some Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Indigo Buntings, and Scarlet Tanagers. At Central Park and elsewhere over Manhattan, Chimney Swifts continued, and both species of Kinglet although the far more regular just now have been Ruby-crowned. Many observers, including those participating in a variety of guided walks on behalf non-profit orgs that do scientific, conservation and educational work, were out in mild fair weather. On Governors Island in N.Y. County there have again been birders watching for any chance of re-finds of the most recent rarities there. Thanks to the many who offered reports, as well as photos.
