In response to the question by Angus Wilson, I was in warbler heaven this morning at Rockefeller State Park in Westchester county. Whereas the park was nearly devoid of migrants two days ago, I was swimming in warblers today, with multiple large mixed flocks. Black-throated green was by far the most numerous, with a conservative estimate of 75-100 individuals, followed by good numbers (in relative order of abundance) of Northern Parula, Blackpoll, Chestnut-sided, Canada, Magnolia, Black-throated blue, American Redstart, Black-and-white, 2 Blackburnians, 2 Tennessee. It was too active to keep count....now that's a birding problem that I'd like to have more often.
