May 26th marked the final Spring Migration walk of 2026. Fifty-five birders set out in three groups to get last glimpses of the various warblers and other species passing through Central Park on the way to their summer breeding grounds. The groups saw a total of thirteen different warbler species, with Blackpolls predictably being the most abundant. Other highlights included Yellow-bellied, Least and Great Crested Flycatchers and Swainson’s, Gray-cheeked and Wood Thrush. We look forward to resuming our Central Park walks on Tuesday, September 1st.
