Manhattan, N.Y. City - to Friday, April 25th -
With so many observers on guided not-for-profit birding walks and in independent observation within Central Park, the emphasis of this very-brief note is on that park - however, interesting sightings are flowing in from all around Manhattan island and beyond with the quickening of migration.
The Kentucky Warbler in the Central Park mid-sector was found and alerted to other birders by P. Sweet - guiding for the American Museum of Natural History not-for-profit bird walk-series, and seen by many for Friday, 4-25.
The Yellow-breasted Chat was found in the Central Park Ramble on the same day by J. Suzuki and was also seen by many observers with the Linnaean Society of New York and by many others affiliated with that and-or other not-for-profit institutions and organizations which work in conservation, education and promoting natural science and nature awareness.
A minimum of 23 species of American Warblers were found in Manhattan for Friday, April 25th with again 5th Kentucky Warbler a top highlight among all those many warblers - all of the warbler species seen within Central Park, and many also in a wide variety of other parks and greenspaces.
Five species of vireo were noted as of April 24 and 25, with all of these being found within Central Park - White-eyed, Yellow-throated, Red-eyed, Warbling, and Blue-headed Vireos - some of these also occurring in other parks and greenspaces as well. A Marsh Wren at Central Park was viewed by many, an uncommon but annual migrant there.
..
Just east of Manhattan at Randalls Island, which is in the same county, Forsters Terns were reported and photographed. A vast number of other migrants are occurring all around the county, including within Manhattan and many sightings are being noted in non-x bird alerts as well as reports and photos, audio and video in the Macaulay Library via eBird, thanks to all of these hundreds of observers and photographers.
More reports for the weekend to come. Good birding to all,
Tom Fiore
