Date: 10/27/25 2:44 am From: Tom Fiore <tomfi2...> Subject: [nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC - Sunday, 10/26 - 14 Warbler spp., 10 sparrow spp., etc.
A Clay-colored Sparrow, still the only one of its species -documented- in Manhattan over the past week, was continuing at the Gansevoort peninsula pier-park in lower-west Manhattan, a part of the Hudson River greenway, thru Sunday, with again multiple observers. That area and nearby areas have hosted a nice variety of migrant species in this past week and still were thru Sunday, 10-26.
. . . .
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City - Sunday, October 26th -
Although some of the species are now in more-minimal numbers, at least 14 migratory American-hemispheres warbler species have been ongoing thru Sunday, Oct. 26 - many with many observers and including those on not-for-profit bird walks with institutions and organizations with ideals of conservation, education, sound science and outreach for the diversity in nature, as well as sightings by many independent observers and photographers.
The warbler sightings are listed first in an otherwise approximation of current taxonomic order, for all known sightings for Sunday that could be confirmed. NB, there was no sighting of a Veery in Central Park for 10-26, and any thrush suspected to be of that species ought to be photographed or videos for confirmations.
