This is an assortment of some of the birds I saw at the East Pond and Big John's pond here in New York City. Things are just starting to get gong with both Fall Color and Fall Migration.

Nice set, Morris! Looks like the birding there is good right now.

A few identification thoughts:

1. Gadwall
4. Yellow-rumped Warbler
5. I think this is a male mallard, perhaps a young bird that hasn't achieved adult plumage yet. It doesn't appear to be an American Black Duck to me.
9. I believe these are Pectoral Sandpipers.

Thank you Jared,
I've updated the ID's based on your feedback and that of others on another forum

Hi Morris ,Great set of images as always. Just returned from upstate N.Y. were the color was late and dull compared to other years. A local said that a blight affected the Maple trees this year.

Thank you Don,

It's a shame you did not have the best color. I heard there was a wind storm that stripped the trees up state. We had one yesterday yet most of the leaves stayed on as there still strong enough
