Central Park, Manhatttan, N.Y. City -
Sunday, November 3rd -
A photographed Red-headed Woodpecker was re-found, or was perhaps a newer arrival for Central Park on Sunday, Nov. 3rd. That species was also reported elsewhere in Manhattan over the weekend. At least several Blue-headed Vireos were still around in Central Park on Sunday, 11-3. Eastern Bluebirds continued to be seen in Central Park on Sunday and also in other Manhattan parks the same day.
The following migratory American warbler species were present -again- thru Sunday -
Ovenbird
Black-and-white Warbler
Orange-crowned Warbler
Common Yellowthroat
Cape May Warbler
Magnolia Warbler
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Palm Warbler
Pine Warbler
Yellow-rumped Warbler
All of the above warbler species have been found into December in Central Park in previous years but some very rarely, the least-seen after mid November of the above being Magnolia Warbler. Cape May Warbler has had a relatively recent history over more than a decade now of showing where sapsuckers leave sap wells from their drillings and lingering in this county into early winter. This has included January sightings, very rarely, within Central and other parks in Manhattan. One of the above species typically clears out of Central Park yet may linger elsewhere in the county to winter - Myrtle Warbler, or as still more-often referred to, Yellow-rumped Warbler.
...
A Great Horned Owl had continued to November at Central Park, while a photographed sighting of the same species was made with multiple observers on Sunday in northern Manhattan, the latter could easily be a different individual from the one at Central Park. Some owl species may go unseen via eBird reporting for a while as they can be deemed very sensitive species.
Many more migrants and visitant birds were also seen on Sunday at Central Park and across New York County. Thanks to many quiet, keen, courteous observers and photographers offering reports and photos, thru eBird with the Macaulay Library for media archives, and thru other non-x alerts.
Good birding to all,
Tom Fiore
