Central Park NYC Tues. May 16, 2017 OBS: Robert DeCandido, PhD, Deborah Allen, & many other observers
Highlights: This morning we tallied 22 species of Wood Warblers with 2 additional species after lunch (24). Doug Kurz reported a Palm Warbler (25), and others reported Kentucky Warbler at 2 locations (26). The best spots today were Summit Rock and the adjacent Tanner's Spring, the area of Warbler Rock/Summer House, and the south side of Turtle Pond. There were numerous termite hatches today, which made some of the warblers much easier to observe.
