[nysbirds-l] Orange-crowned Warbler, NYBG, Bronx
I led a walk this morning at NYBG for NYC Audubon - normally the Botanic Gardens are the realm of the inimitable Debbie Becker of course, but I venture up there now and then. It was a gorgeous day today, but there didn’t seem to be much in the way of new migratory movement, which surprised me given the mild conditions and favorable winds the night before. Nonetheless, we spotted 36 species, including a cooperative Orange-crowned Warbler loosely associating with a flock of Yellow-rumps on the Thain Forest path just north of the old snuff factory. We also had a Louisiana Waterthrush along the Bronx River further north in the forest, as well as many more Yellow-rumps, several Palms, and two Black-and-White Warblers. Nothing else out of the ordinary... Tree & Northern Rough-winged Swallows over the “Lakes”, a small flock of Cedar Waxwings nearby, lots of nest-building activity among the Grackles & Robins.
