In Manhattan, part of New York County, which is within N.Y. City as one of 5 counties - or boroughs as often called in that city - on Sunday, April 14th -
A Purple Sandpiper was still lingering where they have wintered-thru, at Manhattans Pier 26, far west edges, this in lower-west Manhattan, along the Hudson river, with again multi-observers for 4-14.
Migrants that likely just came in included a bright male Rose-breasted Grosbeak on Sunday, at Inwood Hill Park which incidentally has the tallest and oldest forest, some considered local old-growth, on Manhattan, this park at the northern-upper end of Manhattan island.
Also seen Sunday, in Washington Square Park, in the Greenwich village part of lower Manhattan, was an American Redstart.
These 2 songbird species which migrate in from well south of the U.S. are representative of a nice recent arrival of a variety of species just beginning to show from well-south of the U.S. border, including also some that may have come from as far south as n. Argentina- as a few Broad-winged Hawks were noticed coming thru on Sunday, past Manhattan island. Thanks to a number of keen watchers and photographers for these sightings. More to report soon from around the county.
Good birding to all,
Tom Fiore
