A few more birds from World Migratory Bird Day
May 11
Central Park, NYC

clockwise from top left:
Magnolia Warbler
Blackburnian Warbler
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Blue Jay (not migratory)




Blackburnian Warbler: "The breeding male, with vivid orange in face and throat, is unmistakable; females and immatures show at least a hint of this coloration, but more important is the unique triangular facial pattern of black (or gray), also seen in all plumages." (AllAboutBirds)
"White or light gray underneath, various shades of blue, black, and white above." (AllAboutBirds).
"Males are midnight blue above and white below with black on the throat, face, and sides. Females [this one] are plain grayish olive overall, although some individuals have blue tints on the wings and tail. Both sexes have a characteristic small white square on the wing, sometimes called a “pocket handkerchief”."(AllAboutBirds)

Scarlet Tanager ( Piranga olivacea) in Central Park, NY's The Ramble woodland area at yesterday's World Migratory Bird Day. It's worth mentioning that Scarlet and Summer Tanagers are not in the Tanager family (Thraupidae), but in the Cardinal group (Cardinalidae).

Hooded Warbler (Setophaga citrina) in Central Park, NY's The Ramble woodland area at yesterday's World Migratory Bird Day



"Hooded Warblers are small, well-proportioned birds with a straight, sharp bill. Compared to other warblers, they are fairly heavy-bodied and thick-necked. Adult males are olive-green above and bright yellow below with a black hood and throat, a yellow forehead, and yellow cheeks. Females and immatures are also olive-green above and yellow below, but they don't have a black hood, although some adult females show an outline of a hood. Note the large black eye and white outer tail feathers that it often flashes." (AllAboutBirds)

A lemon-yellow male Baltimore Oriole tried to convince me that he was a very out-of-range Scott's Oriole.

An unusual pink-flowered Common Rock-rose (Helianthemum nummularium) growing on Solsbury Hill near . Flowers of this species are normally yellow. Potentially an escape, but given the location this would be unlikely.

Bramble the juvenile this morning in . Bramble is 5 1/2 weeks old and fully independent, trying to their way in the world. This is Bramble's favourite perch, where they sit and wait for an insect to fly past or a spider to run on the ground below.
