Hi all,
Wow, didn't know there are this many younger members on the forum. I am 13 (almost, (end of June!)) and have 184 birds on my list (all British) I have never been abroad. I am hoping to go to the Scillies or a seabird colony this August or October to give it a boost it hasn't had yet. Because I can't really read through this whole thread to see, are there any young birders in Surrey, Sussex or Kent here?
Any warbler nest in the park? How many sorts can meet on the summer in the CP?Wiktoria: Central Park is very good in spring migration since warblers flying over the metro area don't see much green until CP. Although 30 species of warbler are seen every spring and fall, no warblers nest in the park. Some species do though, like Baltimore Oriole, and maybe Great Crested Flycatcher.

In summer Central Park is not very good. After mid-June it is not usually worth a trip to Central Park, as all of the warblers have left, as have all the other migrants, just leaving the few breeding species.

BC
Great list! Reminds me of my BC adventures!
I know that Mute Swans have been breeding in the NE United States for a while, as illustrated in many field guides, nut as you discovered, there are some around SW British Columbia too. Besides the one or two that frequent Stanley Park's Lost Lagoon in Vancouver, I saw one or two from a bridge near Reifel Bird Sanctuary. DId you see the rail at Reifel? You'd be the third person I know who got their lifer Virginia Rail recently (the other two, unfortunately not me, had been looking for it for forever!). Great find!
