First-of-Year BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER

 Tom Fiore writes: Here is a photo of the first-of-year BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER for Central Park. Junko Suzuki, a long-time birder, took it on Sunday, 3/27, Though this is not the earliest-ever sighting of the speciea for Central Park, it is a bit early to have one appear at all in March.  It was found by Tom Perlman, and then seen by a number of observers later that day.
