Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City
Saturday, April 13th -
An adult-male-plumaged Hooded Warbler was seen by many dozens of observers at
Central Parks north end, the warbler moving about a bit as is rather typical of
these, in this park in particular, and an early-alert -from a non-X source- got
so many more birders out to the sector of the park for this species, and then
as well as the most-usual, dependable way of learning of birds seen in this
park year-round, eBird, has a number of sets of photos with the Macaulay
Library archives and one is linked-to here, thanks to one photographer of many
on the scene in the morning, R. Li - https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/617311908
A lingering Northern Parula was seen by multiple observers and also
photographed again, in the parks north end, with one photo linked-to here in
the Macaulay Library, and thanks to G.and T. Plowman -

One of the Black-and-white Warblers of the day for Central Park was seen by
multiple observers in the heart of the Ramble area. At least several Louisiana
Waterthrushes were present in the park for Saturday as well. With the
more-common now Pine, Palm and Myrtle Warblers, we had a minimum of 7 migratory
American Warblers in Central Park on the day.
Also among the 75-plus species of birds collectively seen for Central on
Saturday was a White-eyed Vireo, the 2nd of 2 vireo species now having shown so
far this year there, the first having been a Blue-headed Vireo on April 9th.
Rusty Blackbird was again seen in several sites within Central Park on Saturday.
Two lingering hen Hooded Mergansers were on the reservoir of Central Park thru
the day Saturday, those being seen by multiple observers - as is so of almost
every one of the 75-plus birds on the day, in this one park. Thanks to so many
keen watchers, photographers, and reporters among whom many work and-or
volunteer with not-for-profit organizations which support bird conservation
N.Y. City and beyond.
...
Elsewhere but still in Manhattan, a part N.Y. County, a Purple Sandpiper was
lingering to Saturday the 13th, at Pier 26 off the lower west of Manhattan,
along the Hudson River. Thanks to amongst other observers, A. Evans of
Manhattan for reports and photos.
Good birding to all,
Tom Fiore
