Re. Karen Fung's earlier post. Having had time to reflect on the bird found by Alexis Lamek and also seen by Karen and I - I believe that this bird is a Hermit Warbler singing an odd BTGreen-like song rather than some kind of hybrid. Plumage was good for Hermit (hybrids usually have something odd about them) and warblers sometimes sing odd songs. There are actually a few Spring records of Hermit Warbler on the East Coast so not as unprecedented as I thought it was at the time.
The bird was present for quite a while near the W77th Street entrance and the Triplets Area. Hopefully it'll show up again for others to see.
