Central Park NYC Saturday August 20, 2022 OBS: Robert DeCandido, PhD, Deborah Allen, ,m.ob.
Highlights: Golden-winged (2), Blue-winged, and Six other Species of Wood Warblers. After tweeting the Golden-winged Warbler at Maintenance Field at around 7:50am, we were delighted to discover that other birders then found a second Golden-winged Warbler, also at Maintenance Field, and that both birds were being seen simultaneously. The second Golden-winged Warbler had more yellow on the crown and thicker wing bars and lacked the olive wash on the back that we had seen on the first bird. The last time we saw two Golden-winged Warblers together in Central Park was at the north end in mid-August of 2006.
