Muy muchos pajaritos por Cinco de Mayo, en el Parque Central…
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City - Fifth of May, 2026 -
The lovely but non-singing Kentucky Warbler in what certainly appears as the female plumage is continuing in the northwest quadrant of The Ramble of Central Park, with many, many admirers - some of the earliest reports of Tuesday, 5-5, were from those walking with a not-for-profit guided, scheduled bird walk, with of course many more migrant birds also found. Central Park overall is enjoying another great - and increasingly warm - day of birding, with hundreds of observers and photographers in total all around the park from first-light onwards. More than 25 species of migratory all-Americas plus Caribbean-wintering warblers are already being found, as well as many, many other migrants, breeding birds, and some resident species.

Out on Randalls Island, which is just east of Manhattan and also in New York County, a Caspian Tern was reported flying by in the morning, and also reported again is at least one Cliff Swallow, in the area where the latter species has nested and hopefully will again nest. Many many more birds are being found throughout the county.
