Re:[nysbirds-l] Central Park - Kentucky Warbler, etc.
Friday, 27 April, 2012 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City Re: the male Kentucky Warbler was being seen somewhat intermittently later in the day with at least one keen observer spotting it around 5 p.m., again just west of the lower part of Shakespeare Garden, and in a fenced-off area of (some dense, some less dense) shrubs and low ground-cover plantings, with evergreen trees above & around, and varying views by some of those gathered in the several hours before that - the bird also sang rather softly at least one time, late in the afternoon. It's been seen both to the north of the Swedish Cottage (a rustic wooden building) as well as in the Shakespeare Garden itself, apparently the lower section closer to the low path that runs beneath the garden proper. As Anthony Collerton reported to this list (as below), this is likely the top highlight on the day in Central, while there were any number of other migrants present, and clearly a fair push of new arrivals yet not (in my opinion) in really big numbers, perhaps excepting Yellow-rumped Warblers, White-throated Sparrows, & a few other species. It seems plausible that some, perhaps most of these newest arrivals could be around again on Saturday, & I am sure many birders also will be there. (N.B., Anthony's tally of 16 Warbler species looks to be about right, although other reports for new and/or late/lingering species might 'push' those warbler numbers just a bit.) Of (selected) other species, Great Crested Flycatcher, Veery, Wood Thrush, Scarlet Tanager, and both of our Oriole species were seen, along with mostly-modest numbers of other mainly-expected migrants of the season.

By far the best was a male KENTUCKY WARBLER on the West Side of the Shakespeare Garden.
