Late morning I headed into the park in the hope of bumping into a Black-throated Blue Warbler. After all, everybody is seeing this bird this season, even Paul Roisen. I had no luck, but did see a few birds, that because of the date, I felt were noteworthy:
1 Chimney Swift 1 Wood Pewee 2 Philadelphia Vireo 1 Yellow-throated Vireo 2 Blue-headed Vireo I saw a thrush which I was sure would be a Hermit Thrush, but it turned out to be a Swainson's. I then saw 3 Hermit Thrushes. I can not recall seeing those species at the same time.
