Manhattan, N.Y. City - to Tuesday, April 22 -
At Central Park, an E. Whip-poor-will was discovered on Tuesday, about right-on-time for the local migration-calendar, in the N. Wodds section of Central Park, seen by many, and thanks to finder and to those helping other arriving birders to view the nightjar.
Other arrivals have included Eastern Kingbird, Great Crested Flycatcher, some reports of Least Flycatcher as well, and a multitude of other migrants just now being seen by more observers, such as Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and many other migrants having recently arrived, plus many of the earliest of the migrants which began coming in weeks ago.
Also from Central Park and as previously noted here, a singing male Yellow-throated Warbler continued from Sunday to Monday, with no early reports for Tuesday however that bird may still be present in that park and perhaps in the areas where it was ranging over 2 days, seen by many observers and remaining on the western side of the park north of W. 81st St., up to south of the s.-w. corner of the reservoir, including in the area known as the Pinetum. This again one of more than 15 other warbler species which have been found in Central Park so far this past week, among the newest arrivals for warblers have been Nashville Warbler. At least 14 warbler species were seen in Central Park by all observers combined on Tues., and more than that number of species were occurring in Manhattan for just the one day.
Many warbler species and a good variety of other migrants are being seen in locations all around Manhattan including smaller parks, gardens, and a variety of greenspaces, with many good reports from the northern and southern ends of Manhattan island as well as all-around. Thanks to many keen, quiet, courteous observers and photographers for vast numbers of finds, re-finds, reports and photos or videos, all via non-x bird alert apps and as always via eBird, with the Macaulay Library for media.
Far more can be noted for the county in which Manhattan sits in a future report.
Good birding to all,
Tom Fiore
