Sixty-six individuals, including a visitor from Grenada and three young birders with their parents, gathered at Central Park West on a chilly morning. Another night of low migration meant that the leaders and their groups had to work hard to spot sought-after warblers, which were seen sporadically in low numbers. Highlights were a singing Nashville Warbler at the Point and a Common Loon in breeding plumage on the reservoir.
