Went on a spring migration walk yesterday in Central Park. You have to get there before 7:30! That's the only downside.
We saw now-familiar-to-me birds such as the following:
veery, Swainson's thrush (I can identify both now), red-eyed and warbling vireos, Baltimore thrush (one was spectacularly colored, sitting in the middle of green branches), an egret, another one flying overhead, Eastern kingbirds, downy woodpeckers, cedar waxwings, mockingbirds, catbirds, cardinals, and several other common birds
warblers: several American redstarts, male and female, ovenbirds, red-winged blackbirds, northern parulas, yellow-rumped (aka myrtle), black-throated blue, magnolia, blackpoll, blackburnian, chestnut-sided, black and white, yellow, and a couple of other warblers that I don't recall now
uncommon warblers: Wilson's, Canada (I took a good look at several of both) and bay breasted warblers
Sightings reported, but we didn't see: a Tennessee warbler or two, and a great horned owl
On one of the paths we came across a hatch out (my first encounter with this word), with newly hatched insects swarming out of a dead log, which attracted several birds. We stood there for a while, looking at (and identifying) the various warblers feasting on the termites. We heard that there were three or four other hatch outs that morning in other parts of the park.
It was a productive four hours.
I'm registered for next Tuesday's walk, so hope to see other migrants, and also be able to identify some more birds.
