This blog (Central Park Rare Bird Alert) will mention just about all particularly notable birds I see, or hear about through social media and occasionally word-of-mouth. The sources I use include ebird.org, the Twitter #birdcp, and the New York ABA news link. I will upload each post of a rarity (or rarities if there are multiple in the same timeframe) as soon as I can. These posts will be fairly frequent, especially in spring when migration is going on. I also run another blog called Mean Teen Birding Machine where I recount my own birding experiences, and my attempt at a bigger big year each year (currently I am at 162 species!). Anyway, here is the first alert.
10/29/16:
Northern Parula (late) at Reservoir (location unspecified)
Common Yellowthroat female (late) at Turtle Pond (location unspecified)
Ovenbird (late) at Azalea Pond waterfall.
Blue-Headed Vireo (bit late) at Central Park Zoo near snow monkey exhibit)
Empidonax-type Flycatcher (late) at NW corner of Great Lawn, likely Willow/Alder.
Lincoln's Sparrow at Maintenance Field.
Extralimital: CACKLING GOOSE refound at Dyckman Fields (near Inwood Hill Park)
