Today had to be the best birding day at NYBG! Not more than five minutes and 50 feet into the walk we had a low flying adult bald eagle and then warblers! Most of the warblers listed below were in one oak tree. The Chestnut sided were taking a bath with Goldfinch - quite a colorful sight. On the forest path we had Scarlet tanagers,Rose breasted Grosbeaks (which may be nesting) Veery, house wren and Swainson's thrush. Most impressive were the number of species and quantity.
