Starr Saphir's group had *62 species*, including *19 warblers*, in a 5.5-hour walk through Central Park's North End this morning. The most productive area was the SE part of the Great Hill along the path up from 103rd Street, which produced *Cape May* and *Blackburnian* and a multitude of the more common warblers. We had two male *Bay-breasted Warblers*, one in the Wildflower Meadow and the other at the south end of the Loch.
