Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City - Monday, May 11th -
A female-plumaged Blue Grosbeak was found in Central Park for Monday - this not the individual of that species from Battery Park in Manhattan on same-day, which had the beginnings adult male plumage. Summer Tanager in Central Park may be lingering, continuing individuals - or newer arrivals, seen by many observers again, and in prior days. Some observers reported both adult male as well as female-plumaged Summer on Monday, and including the two seen in same tree. At least 24 species of warblers were found in Central Park on Monday, while other parks and greenspaces all around Manhattan are having good to excellent diversity in these and other migrants into May 11th. A Northern Shoveler reported from Central Park is getting a bit late, but is not at all unprecedented far into May here. At least 110 species of birds reportable as non-feral or non-domestic were found in Central Park on Monday, May 11 - and that number may yet grow, with additional confirmed reports.
