The tale of the yellow-throated warbler in Central Park.

We arrived in Central Park about 3:00pm on Friday searching for one of the many reported yellow-throated warblers. The one that seemed most promising and nearby was the bird on 59th street. So, Sandy, Susan and I began our search. It was last seen on the bridge and we immediately went to that location to try and find it. Sadly, we did not but we did find many other spring migrants. Blue gray gnatcatcher gave us glorious looks, two wayward field sparrows were grazing at just a few feet away. Kinglets everywhere, and a few warblers. After 3 hours we gave up and were sitting on a bench in the Hallet looking for nearby birds when my phone rang....

Do you know what kind of bird has yellow gray/black coloring and a crest on the head? Bigger than a sparrow or dove. It landed on my mother's 6th floor balcony in NYC, week of June 5, 2018. Migration, maybe? Never saw its like in Manhattan before!

It's 11/20 and I was just in Union Square Park and saw three maintenance people freaking out. I walked over and they asked me if I knew what kind of bird they were looking at...it was tiny yellow bird...from what I make out researching later I cannot tell if it was a warbler or a goldfinch, but it was clearly one or the other...it couldn't have been more than 4 inches long or so, more of a needle beak. It was foraging around the bushes and wasn't too frightened of us, so they thought at first it was a pet bird escaped, but another gentleman walking along said it was a wild bird.
