I led a walk for NYC Audubon in Central Park this evening, through Strawberry Fields and The Ramble. It was pretty quiet, but we had several nice warbler sightings.
Namely: Northern Parula (several) Tennessee Warbler Blackpoll Warbler (dull female) Black-and-white Warbler Common Yellowthroat Cape May Warbler (quite dull female, in the two pitch pines a bit to the south of the Bow Bridge) Other highlights were numerous Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks at various jewelweed patches, and large numbers (20+) of Chimney Swifts bugging out overhead. Yesterday I was remiss in not writing, but saw Wilson's Warbler, Blue-winged Warbler, and Veery in Central Park. Some nice stuff in spite of low overall numbers... Fall is in the air!
