Palm Warbler -- photo by DAVID SPEISER

Reported by JORDAN SPINDEL:

[April 2, 2016]\ This afternoon, Central Park had a good amount of migrants. Among the usual stuff and already arrived migrants, I saw 2 Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers (Gill source and the Point), a Chipping Sparrow at the feeders, 2 aggressive Ruby-Crowned Kinglets at Turtle Pond, and a pair of Palm Warblers. Also, today was a flicker day, and I must've seen at least 15 to 20 of them when I was there. It seems only a matter of time before Louisana Waterthrushes and other migrants arrive. Species List: 2 Palm Warblers (Yellow) 3+ Pine Warblers (Pinetum, including a female) 2 Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers 3 Golden-Crowned Kinglets (2 at Point, 1 at Pinetum) 2 Ruby-Crowned Kinglets 2 Hermit Thrushes 2 Eastern Phoebes (Mugger's Woods 1 Chipping Sparrow 4 Song Sparrows 3 Dark-Eyed Juncos 1 Fox Sparrow Northern Flickers (many) 8 Double-Crested Cormorants 6 Buffleheads 50+ Northern Shovelers
