[nysbirds-l] Central Park birds
I was in Central Park this am for the Japan Day festivities and to try for the continuing Kirtland's Warbler. I got the warbler at 8:15am at the usual spot on West Drive just north of 91st. next to the reservoir. It gave wonderful close views of course because I left my camera in the car. While waiting for the warbler I also had some Eastern Pewees, a probable Least Flycatcher, a gorgeous male Bay-breasted Warbler, plus many of the usual warbler species being seen. After the JD festivities I took a stroll around that area and the Ramble and had a wonderful male Cape May Warbler singing from a lone fir tree, several Canada Warblers, 2 Wilson's Warblers, a couple of Indigo Buntings, plus many of the warbler species being seen. Even with the miserable weather it was a very good day bird wise. Andrew Andrew v. F.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Central Park birds...
Sam & all, nice report from Central Park in Manhattan, N.Y. City - since you write "this afternoon" we can assume the sightings are all from Friday, 4 September, 2009. Incidentally, the Common Yellowthroats observed at the "wildflower meadow" in the park's north end are migrants, although a few have attempted nesting over the years in Central, no warbler has been documented successfully nesting (with live young found) in Central Park in a very long time, at least not in the wild - and as far as I'm aware the CP Zoo has not kept breeding warblers, from any hemisphere. Also, about nighthawks: although many Common Nighthawks have been reported within their most typical fall flight period just about ended, there are additional reports, some well to the north & east of N.Y. City & thus they may be looked for in the coming days (& evenings, obviously). Good birding, Tom Fiore, Manhattan - - - - - >> On Sep 4, 2009, at 11:05 PM, Sam Stuart wrote: All - This afternoon was fairly productive Central Park.

There seems to be a great variety and number of Dragonflies currently in the park.
