Hi Peter,
Today's walk was the best of the season for us, with the south side of the lake a real hotspot. It took our group two and a half hours to go from Vanderbilt Playground to the Lefrak Center. There was an incredible amount of warbler activity from around West Island to 3 Sisters, with large flocks moving through a few trees in particular -- the main species being northern parula, black-and-white, and American redstart. In one tree, we had around 12-15 warblers in one binocular view. Around the SE corner of the lake, a patch of pokeweed attracted a good assortment of fruit-eating birds, including a scarlet tanager. We had 62 species in total, 16 of them warblers.
