Mourning Warbler
Northern Wheatear present on the edge of the parking lot at Smith's Point County Park, which is on the south shore of Long Island, New York. It was found on Sunday 16th Sept by Paul Maldonado, Michelle Wolf and others. Northern Wheatears are borderline annual in New York State and are notorious 'one-day wonders'. Thankfully, this one has remained in the same area for at least three days!
