A date-correction to the one-day-only sighting of Red-necked Phalarope at the Hudson River, off Manhattan near West 70th St., that had been on Friday, Aug. 9th -not Saturday- and again, that bird was not re-found on subsequent days.
Manhattan, N.Y. City - Monday, Aug. 12th - A male Golden-winged Warbler was found by R. Tsao on West 12th St. in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan on Monday, and was subsequently seen and photographed by dozens of observers along that street. While about-annual in the county on migrations, the species is always a highly-sought one! On the same day but much later, 2 Western Cattle Egrets were spotted moving over the Hudson River from a viewpoint at the river, near W. 79th Street in Manhattan. The Monday Golden-winged became -at least- the 27th species of American migratory warbler to be seen in N.Y. County, and in Manhattan so far this -southbound- season, in the second half of 2024, and of those warblers, 26 species have been seen in Central Park alone, while many species were and are appearing in a multitude of sites around the county. With so many keen observers, and photographers all around the county, it is entirely possible that another Golden-winged Warbler could also appear at Central Park or in some other location in the county. A great deal of migration is still ahead and much is likely for the remainder of this month, as the weather and winds allow - and, even when that weather looks less-promising. Over the rest of August, species-diversity in migration is only likely to increase. Thanks to all for many good finds and reporting via the Discord and other alerts as well as many eBird reports and submitted photos. Good birds!
