This one was calmly perching for about a half hour with small breaks in a patch of Jewelweed in the Upper Lobe area of Central Park’s Lake.  It’s so great to have them migrating though this time of year.

There were at least three Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds in the Jewelweed in a cove of Central Park’s Lake called the Oven.  This one had a favorite perch making it easy to photograph.

In late August, Central Park can have lots of migrants one day and be quiet the next.  On Saturday, it was fairly quiet.  A highlight was a common bird for the park, an American Goldfinch.  Generally we see them at the bird feeders in the winter, so it was nice to see this bird enjoying seeds in the Wildflower Meadow in the North Woods.

Judging by the under tail of the bird, we had a female Chuck-Will’s-Widow in Central Park today.  A nice surprise on a wonderfully warm spring day.
