A yellow warbler (Setophaga petechia) checking me out in Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge (late May). These are small, greenish-gold birds with red stripes on their breast. Looks a bit too tropical for NYC? They winter Central America and the Caribbean, and migrate to the northern half of North America to breed (pretty much all the way up to the arctic circle.
