May 22 - Central Park

Yet another overcast, misty, gray morning - but, once again with birds for my Thursday morning AMNH bird walk group. There seemed to be fewer birds than yesterday morning, but that could partially reflect our concentrated efforts to find a Mourning Warbler. The efforts were partially successful in that a few of us had a fleeting view of a Mourning Warbler on the Point after our official ending time of 9:00 am. Another good bird that everyone saw this morning was Yellow-bellied Flycatcher.
