A Pectoral Sandpiper found early Friday after the overnight rains is quite uncommon for this county, although some records of the species in the county also predate the eBird era- this one at Randalls Island, just east of Manhattan, and within N.Y. County, which is in N.Y. City. Other shorebirds which have been showing this week also continue, in part.
. . . . .
As for warblers seen just in Central Park on Thursday, 8-20, at least 17 species were present in that one park for the full day, and as seen solely by birders and photographers in not-for-profit guided walks or independently. The migration of Thursday night was good, even if consisting of a lot of flyovers, thru the night up until showers came along.
