All - Strawberry Field in Central Park was very active this morning, at times literally humming with the *zipps, chips* and *tiks* of warbler calls. The weather last night was apparently superb for a fallout and I'm sure that many other people are continuing to find other species throughout the park today. I was only able to spend an hour in Strawberry Field this morning before work and enjoyed several mixed species flocks which included 14+ species of warbler. Along with Ardith Bondi and Alice Deutch we found the following species and had terrific looks at most:
Tennessee Warbler Cape May Warbler Blackburnian Warbler Prairie Warbler Chestnut-sided Warbler Canada Warbler Blue-winged Warbler Black-throated Blue Warbler Northern Waterthrush Ovenbird Northern Parula Black-and-white Warbler American Redstart Common Yellowthroat Nashville Warbler - I got a brief look at what I only assume was a Nash. Also around were good numbers of Red-eyed Vireos, some Swainson's Thrush, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Pewees, Yellow-bellied Fly, Orioles and perhaps much more. I can think of a couple obvious misses from this list of Warblers that other people will probably see today, which could make for a pretty good day for today!
