The photo above makes identifying the bird easier, though it's still a pretty unusual position to find a

CHUCK-WILL'S WIDOW

[Both whippoorwills and Chuck-will's Widows sighted in the daytime are usually seen asleep. looking like a bump on a log. They're almost never photographed with their bill agape, as in David Speiser's photo yesterday.]

Two reader's came close --- Nan Holmes and Bill Trankle, who both identified the bird's family as Night Jar or Caprimulgidae.

The winner is MARGO BELLER, who got it right to the species.

Blue-winged Warbler


By the way: no warblers nest in Central Park. They just pass through on their way to somewhere else. But both the Yellow and the Blue-winged nest nearby, in Westchester and Putnam Counties and perhaps in some other city parks.
