Wilson's Warbler and other migrants - 13th -14th May

Migrants are popping out of every bush at the moment, and good birds can be found almost everywhere. Central Park is good of course, with Wilson's, Black-throated Green, Blackburnian and Blackpoll Warblers among the most interesting migrants. Others included Yellow-throated Vireo, Eastern Kingbird, Great-crested Flycatcher and Eastern Wood-Pewee. 

I've also been birding at Edith Read and Randall's Island with similar results.
