Rain dashed morning plans in CP. Instead waited out the rain to visit Bryant Park for evening rush hour again. Really happy to finally see the arrival of the Common Yellow-throats chasing insects on the wet lawn with Songs, White-Throats, Swampies, Chippies and the chicken-strutting Ovenbird (as was a female CYT who looked like she was doing somersaults). Couldn't find the Orchard Oriole, but a Baltimore was singing its mournful song in a London Plane across from the entrance to the Grill. Also got Hermit Thrush, female Towhee, Catbirds, B&W, Blue-headed Vireo, House Wren, and the first pair of Wood Thrushes.
