A brief early afternoon (1:10-2:00) visit to Hoyt Farm Park turned up a
PHILADELPHIA VIREO at the permanent pond behind the museum (40.822022,
-73.269700). Also seen bathing in or feeding around the pond were a
Red-eyed Vireo, a Veery, several Catbirds,
a B&W Warbler, a Redstart, a "Baypoll" warbler (too brief a look to
fully ID), a hatch-year Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and 2 Baltimore Orioles.
There was quite a bit of activity in the tamaracks, hardwoods and vines
surrounding the water,but many of the birds were
moving too quickly and/or too obscured by vegetation to ID. I can only
imagine what it must have been like first thing in the morning!
Elsewhere in the park it was quiet as far as migrants go, with the
exception of 4-5 Common Yellowthroats and a couple Catbirds.
