I spent a few hours in Inwood Hill Park this morning. It was much quieter than yesterday, but there were still some birds around. My first warbler of the morning was a Bay-breasted Warbler in the trees along the nw corner of the soccer fields at the north end of the park. Going up onto the ridge there was a fair amount of activity directly under the Henry Hudson Bridge with Eastern Wood-Pewees, Red-eyed Vireos, and Black-and-white Warblers predominating, with the occasional Magnolia around. I did not see the Bald Eagle reported just to the south at Fort Tryon Park, but Ospreys were still in evidence, some even perched in the park carrying fish. Single Ovenbird and Northern Waterthrush brought my two day warbler count to 16 species for the park over the weekend.
