Manhattan, N.Y. City - Thursday, October 3rd - A Yellow-throated Warbler, first noted by late-day of Oct. 1st was still present at Corlears Hook Park near the East River in Manhattans lower east side area, on Thursday Oct. 3rd. Thanks to M. Durand, L. Beausoleil and others for reports. This park is south and very slightly west of the base of the Manhattan side of the Wiilamsburg bridge, and is next to the F.D.R. Drive on the East River, where there are paths and esplanades etc, which extend along that river-estuary in two directions. Also, the Manhattan Pier 42 is immediately next to Corlears Hook - a very old place name.
A brightly plumaged Golden-winged Warbler was photographed at Central Parks north end on Thursday Oct. 3rd, and that made for at least 22 species of migratory American Warblers in Central Park on Thursday, 10-3. A White-eyed Vireo was continuing as well in Central Parks n. end, as was the recent and current Blue-winged Teal, along with at least 5 remaining Green-winged Teal, the teals being in the Pool at that parks nw sector. In the Ramble of Central Park were Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Veery and loads of additional migrant species seen by scores and scores of observers thru all of Thursday. .... Elsewhere in N.Y. County on Thursday, a Red-headed Woodpecker was noted at Randalls Island, where Yellow-crowned Night-Heron also could still be found, while 4 flyby Forsters Terns are the most recent for that location, and there were many more migrant species seen there, as for all parts of the county. Governors Island in N.Y. County again had many migrants on Thursday, including American Pipit, and ongoing Bobolinks, among many other species. For a strange and wondrous sighting even if a likely escapee, a brightly colored Ruddy breasted Seedeater was on Roosevelt Island, which is also within N.Y. County, because what more or less did you expect? ...It was photographed there on Thursday. Link to photo, thanks to J. Marinov with the report to eBird and the linked photo in the Macaulay archive - please READ the text by that reporter-photographer as you gaze at the photo. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/624471096 Good birding to all, Tom Fiore manhattan -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")
