Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City Monday, October 14th - At least 18 species of migratory American Warblers were found and photographed in Central Park for Monday. Also reported was Hooded Warbler for Monday, which if confirmed will make for a warbler species tally of 19 species on Monday.
While some are lingering birds such as a Northern Waterthrush at The Pool, in the parks nw sector, a fair number were new or very recent passage migrants, among these being Chestnut-sided, Tennessee, Bay-breasted, Blackpoll, Cape May, Magnolia, Black-throated Blue, Black-and-white, and Black-throated Green Warblers, and American Redstart, as well as other typical species of the later in fall season. The early morning flight of Myrtle -also commonly called Yellow-rumped- Warblers was impressive with high triple-digit numbers for all of the county as well as well over 100 for Central Park, and that in just one view point, although hardly the largest flight of that species here this autumn. Ruby-throated Hummingbird was still showing at Central Park, with many observers and photographers for Monday’s. White-crowned, and multiple Lincolns Sparrows were among the native sparrow species for Monday. Many more migrants were found on the day - at least 86 species of wild native birds were found in Central Park on Monday, 10/14 and far more than that number in all of the county. Thanks to keen, quiet, courteous observers and photographers, including some who lead guided bird walks for nonprofit organizations which support conservation, education and sound science, and also to many independent walkers finding birds at all hours of the day and in all sectors of the park. ... Elsewhere on Manhattan island, Vesper Sparrow showed at Inwood Hill Park on Sunday, Oct. 13th. And elsewhere in the same county, a somewhat late Connecticut Warbler was photographed at Randalls Island -T. Li- on Saturday, Oct. 12th. More recent reports out of Randalls and elsewhere in all of New York County at a later date.
