Central Park - May 6 - Another nice day

Went into the Ramble in Central Park for about an hour and a half before work and on my lunch break. It was not as busy as yesterday, but there were still a good number of migrants around, including a few nice one. On the two walks combined I recorded a total of 46 species. The highlights, including 12 warbler species are below.

Ovenbird - several
Orange-crowned Warbler - male continuing in Maintenance Meadow, sometimes singing
Nashville Warbler - 1, south side Turtle Pond
American Redstart
Cape May Warbler - 1, male, south side Turtle Pond
Northern Parula - all over
Blackburnian Warbler - 1, male, south side Turtle Pond
Yellow Warbler  - 1, male, south side Turtle Pond
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Prairie Warbler - 1, male, south side Turtle Pond
Black-throated Green Warbler
Summer Tanager - 1, male, near Riviera
Scarlet Tanager - 1, female, south side Turtle Pond

I hope some or all of these stay around for my Wednesday morning walk. There are predicted northwest winds for tonight which is not favorable for migration.
