Thursday, 28 April, 2016 - Central Park, Manhattan, New York City
the Swainson's WARBLER is still being seen & heard, thru 4:30 P.M. this afternoon at Strawberry Fields, nearest the West 72 Street park entrance, with multiple observers on-scene. THE place to check is along the park drive (roadway) next to shrubberies at the south / southwest edge of Strawberry Fields site proper & this is immediately outside to the SW of the "Imagine" mosaic that is on the junction of main paths in the entry part of Strawberry Fields - assuming a park entry from the park entrance at West 72 St. - look for birders & photographers, some of whom may be prone "horizontal" at the edge of the park roadway at the warbler location. It has not moved more than perhaps 10 yards at max. in all the hours of observations thus far, and has stayed in the fairly dense low shrubs, often feeding on the leaf-littered ground below, mainly in shade. It was starting to sing again by 3:30 - 4 p.m. & might do so a bit more as the evening goes along.
good luck (persistence may pay a dividend), Tom Fiore Manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
