Cape May Warbler in Central Park - 15th Oct

A very birdy morning. I started at the Maintenance Meadow in The Ramble, with loads of newly arrived sparrows flitting everywhere. The majority were Song and White-throated Sparrows, but there were a couple of Lincoln's, a White-crowned and a Swamp. Blue-headed Vireos were also very noticeable with at least three present. One Winter Wren also buzzed through.

After a while I moved on to the Pinetum, which was similarly humming with activity. Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers are still very numerous, with several warbler species coming to thew sapwells, including plenty of Yellow-rumped, 2 Palm and one Cape May. Chipping Sparrows foraged at the base of the pines, and a Brown Creeper completed the picture.

Probably the same Cape May Warbler from Tuesday, but a bit lower in the tree, affording much better views.
