Warblers

In early April and in September nearly 50 different species of Warblers migrate through the New York City Area. For the new birders it is challenging to identify the large number of these small and fast moving birds, because some of them only have subtle difference. Pine Warbler, Palm Warbler, Black and White Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, Northern Parula, Common Yellowthroat, Ovenbird, Northern Waterthrush, Cerulean Warbler and American Redstart are few of the warbler spices that pass through the New York City area. Warblers are popular among birders because they are only seasonal and are active brightly-colored song birds. Warblers spend their winter in Central and South America and migrate back to the breeding grounds located north of NYC and in Canada. Warblers migrate in large groups and in certain days during migration one can see nearly 15 species of warblers in a single day at a NYC park.
