Connecticut Warbler
A Connecticut Warbler was seen in Central Park along the Lake on Saturday. Connecticut’s are known for being shy. But this one, which was eating caterpillars on a Mulberry tree, was more than happy to let people watch it.
Déjà Vu with Pale Male
Same trees, same time, one day later.
Pale Male
Pale Male was in his favorite tree near Turtle Pond this evening before moving to a roost for the evening. He was easily visible this evening to the delight of children and tourists on the lawn north of the pond.

888 Adults High Up On CNN Sign and 15 CPW
The 888 Seventh Avenue pair were on the CNN sign and 15 Central Park West late this evening. (I didn’t stick around to see where they roosted for the night.) No sign of any juvenile birds today.
New Kid On The Block
We’re in a fun but unpredictable period for hawk watching in Central Park. Familiar fledglings are disappearing and new ones are appearing as birds migrate and wander about the New York area. There have been sightings of immature hawks in the Conservency Gardens at the north of the park and at Bethesda Fountain. in the center of the park.
At the south end of the park, we have a new immature hawk. Lincoln Karim saw it on Monday, and I found it again on Tuesday. Its smack dab in the middle of the 888 Seventh Avenue adults territory, but they don’t seem to mind. Late fall and early winter seem to be relaxed times with roaming juveniles being given lots of leeway.
The new juvenile was finishing a meal of a rodent when I found it.
