[nysbirds-l] Riverside Park KENTUCKY WARBLER (Manhattan)
Hi All, Ken Chaya texted that he found a KEWA at the Riverside "Drip" ten minutes ago (~ 7pm). The Drip is the water source just south of the tennis courts and west of the "Forever Wild" path, at the latitude of ~119th St. Views are from the lower paved path that ends at the tennis court entrance, and you will be looking East. Map coordinates: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.8106197,-73.9669284,18z He said that the bird disappeared and made another brief visit a few minutes later, so if you're in the immediate neighborhood, it might be worth a twitch. Overall, Riverside was fairly quiet today, but I spent almost two hours there this afternoon and tallied 10 warbler species, including 3 Bay-breasteds and a female Cape May. Most were high in the canopy, and not at the Drip. Stay safe, everyone.
