Hello all,
The species keep on coming. Dr. Robert de Candido calls this peak season, to be matched by late August through September.
I have seen a yellow rumped warbler, a common yellowthroat [aka Maryland yellow], magnolia warbler, a chestnut sided warbler, and a scarlet tanager.
There is more to come.

Hello,
A little bit of catch up and sighting in the last few days. I was delighted to see a male rose breasted grosbeak. For some reason, I referred to it in my confusion, as a gross breasted rose beak, an interesting imaginary bird. Early last week, I saw a Blackburnian warbler, a Nashville warbler, a Canada warbler, a veery, and a
possible blue gray gnatcatcher.

One recent day, I recorded 22 species.

Hello,
Let me catch up with my sightings: yellow warbler, Wilson's warbler, blackpoll warbler, Blackburnian warbler, and black throated blue warblers.
Last week, I spotted an active Baltimore Oriole nest, which I was happy to share with others. The nest is penile, or hanging. Here is a a video of Baltimore orioles at their nest.
More to come.

Hello,
The warbler season is `over. The bay breasted, a warbling vireo, which is nesting near the Baltimore Oriole's nest, and Tennessee warblers were the last I saw. However, there are other birds turning up. There were
a least flycatcher, a wood thrush, and a gray cheeked thrush.

Hello,
Central Park is in the doldrums for seasonal changes. Flycatchers have turned up: least flycatcher, great crested flycatcher and Eastern kingbirds. The latter make an annual appearance neat the Delacorte Theatre, testing high above the shore. Additionally, I caught sight of a green heron on Turtle Pond, last week. Before the Lake was drained to remove wetlands, more than ten year, ago, green herons would nest on the Northern Lobe of the Lake, AKA Bank Rock Pool. After that the herons abandoned their usual nesting site. Apparently, the went to the northern end of the Park, where I rarely go.
The Eastern is one bird which I eagerly anticipate. With luck, the nest will be visible and I can see them feeding the chicks and then the fledging.
This is also the season when I see turtles digging nests.

Arthur is there a reason you don’t go to the northern part of the park?

Hell Paul,
My daily goal is five miles, 8kms, of walking. Starting from home, and adding an evening walk, I need only go as far as the south end of the Great Lawn, although I sometimes get as far north as the south end of the Reservoir. For me, bird watching is an incentive to walk, not an end in itself.
Stay safe,
Arthur
