Park Point had a slight fog and a little mist which made for a lot of migrant warblers grounded feeding on all the trees and bushes along the point. I saw 19 species of warblers and if I include the Ovenbird that was in my garage I saw 20 species for the day. Here is a summary of the warblers seen between the bus turn around at 41st St to the playground area. Tennessee Warblers: counted 72 individuals Orange-crowned Warbler: 1 Nashville Warbler: 15 Northern Parula: 10 Yellow Warbler: 2 Chestnut-sided Warbler: 1 Magnolia Warbler: 12 Cape May Warbler: 9 Yellow-rumped Warbler: 6 Blackburnian Warbler: 5 Pine Warbler: 1 Bay-breasted Warbler: 4 Blackpoll Warbler: 13 Black and White Warbler: 3 American Redstart: 10 Northern Waterthrush: 1 Common Yellowthroat: 5 Wilson Warbler: 1 Canada Warbler: 1 Other Birds: Greater Yellowlegs: 1 Buff Breasted Sandpiper: 7-8 birds on the ball field Baird's Sandpiper: 1 Red-eyed Vireo: 13 Least Flycatcher: 4 Eastern Kingbird: 3 I have never seen a fall migration with so many warblers each day I go out birding.
