New York County -a part of N.Y. City- updates - thru Thursday, May 7th -
Another Eastern Whip-poor-will, this found on Governors Island on Thursday along with a variety of other migrants. Elsewhere, Olive-sided Flycatcher appeared, including at Central Park in Manhattan, and in that park were at least 26 warbler species including the majority of boreal-breeders such as Blackpoll, Bay-breasted, Cape May, Tennessee, Wilsons, as well as of course many more, such as Hooded and Worm-eating Warblers, etc.
Manhattan overall enjoyed many of those warblers and other migrants, still including 5 vireo species, and at least 5 species of brown-backed thrushes, with Hermit Thrush possibly getting a bit scarcer by this week. Rusty Blackbird was still being found, and some of our countys most-regular May-moving shorebirds, including Least, Spotted, and Solitary Sandpipers we’re all found again into Thursday. Both regular Cuckoo species also were again seen in various locations, including both in Central Park and the two cuckoo spp. in other sites, as well.
