- Comments: "*Rare but expected migrant. Found by Josh in the Midwood early this morning, with audio. I arrived mid-morning and watched the individual in question with several others. Physical appearance looked good to my eye — warmer than GCTH (I observed one from mere feet away yesterday in Central Park so the comparison was fresh in my mind) particularly in the rump/tail, noticeably more and brighter yellow in the lower mandible, and an ever so slight eyering that widened at the back. Waited for it to vocalize but I had to take off and my phone was dead anyhow; I believe Ryan M. and Ant, who I'd joined there, got audio recordings of it after I left."
