Slow Late August Day

A slow walk in Central Park on Sunday but there were some birds to be seen. Before the walk, I saw several warblers in Maintenance Field, including my FOS Northern Parula, as well as Common Yellowthroat, Ovenbird, and Ruby-Throated Hummingbird among other things. When the walk started, we headed back to Maintenance Field, only to find out everything was gone. Consolation came in the form of a Veery only seen by me and a flyover Peregrine Falcon. We then went to Tupelo Meadow, where after a bit of waiting. we found a flock of Magnolia Warblers and American Redstarts, along with my FOS Chestnut-Sided Warbler. Not many other new birds besides that, but the group did have our FOS Scarlet Tanager at the Swampy Pin Oak. 8 species of warbler for the day. Here is what we saw:
