Did my last Wednesday morning Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist. bird walk in the Ramble in Central park this morning. Still a fair amount of migants about with the busiest spot being the Point. Highlights were:

Eastern Wood-Pewee – Upper Lobe

Empidonax flycatchers -  Small numbers were scattered through the Ramble. None were a recognizably Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, but I suspect that species is around. Only one bird was obliging enough to call (next species).

Acadian Flycatcher – the stream above the Azalea Pond. The bird was calling regularly, but was usually hard to get a look at. Occasionally did an alternate call that was more noticeably two noted than its usual pizza! call.

Great Crested Flycatcher – at least two, Maintenance Meadow and Point

Eastern Kingbird – below Upper Lobe

Warbling Vireo – usual locations

Red-eyed Vireo

House Wren

Veery

Gray-cheeked Thrush – on path northwest of Evodia (feeders) field

Swainson’s Thrush

Wood Thrush – singing all around the Ranble

Cedar Waxwing – the Point

Northern Parula – the Point

Yellow Warbler – the point

Chestnut-sided Warbler – the Point

Magnolia Warbler

Yellow-rumped Warbler – the Point

Blackburnian Warbler – singing west of Oak Bridge/Upper Lobe (thank you to Roger Pasquier for the heads-up)

Northern Waterthrush – Upper Lobe (singing)
