There is currently a very cooperative immature CT Warbler in the lawn on the N side of Strawberry Fields in Central Park, found by Nadir Souirgi, who joined my weekly Central Park evening walk as a guest guide. Nice work! Oh it just flew to rocks on S side... Good birding! Gabriel Willow NYC

What I at first thought was a cooperative Mourning warbler, I now believe to be a good candidate for a Connecticut Warbler. Upon consulting my books and pictures of today's bird in question I have to second guess my Mourning warbler ID. The pictures are linked below, please advise, I have

The Northern Wheatear went missing a little bit after the last positive report earlier this morning and has not been refound. A number of birders combed the areas the bird was last seen, searching as far west as the weedy lot adjacent to the motel near Knapp Street. I also checked Breezy Point
