Yesterday 5/13
From Chris Holden Hi Peter,
I entered Prospect Park today around 9:45 am and didn't have time to sip my coffee before facing a warbler onslaught. Over the next 30 minutes or so, on the path from Grand Army Plaza to the Vale/Rose Garden, I sighted 14 species of warbler. I ran into other birders who reported a Cape May along that stretch as well, but I never found it myself. The rest of the day wasn't nearly as exciting. For instance, I had only two other species of warbler that I didn't see on the path (Northern Waterthrush and a Prairie Warbler, the latter which I only heard).
