Good day in the Ramble despite cold winds. I personally saw 16 species of
warbler, including FOS Redstart and Chestnut-sided, and heard rumor of at

stages?
If so, the third bird may be a visiting "parent".

I had a short note from Steve Chang late last night that he'd found
the PROTHONOTARY Warbler at Bryant Park on Thursday, shortly before
