Today was the first of several unusually hot days in Central Park, but despite the sudden and unpleasant change in weather, we enjoyed a productive day of birding. Fourteen warbler species were seen, including large numbers of Blackpoll Warblers and female warblers. The highlight of the day was a singing Summer Tanager in Strawberry Fields, a lifer for many participants.
