There was an unprecedented number of Yellow-bellied Flycatchers in Inwood Hill Park this morning- three in total, and more than I've ever seen in one day, let alone in the same location. The first was found in the Meadow, adjacent to the Overlook, the other two were on the ridge trail just north of the eagle hacking area, though each were on opposite sides of it. All three were seen well by two other birders who were present at those times. Also notable was a Mourning Warbler just down slope of the same portion of the ridge trail. Though several birders were treated to his song, the bird never made an appearance. This is only my second sighting of MOWA in this park. Other highlights from this mornings walk included: Common Raven, Lincoln's Sparrow, and Tennessee Warbler. Below is a link to my complete eBird checklist.
