Bronx Brendan Keogh and I ventured over to Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum in the late morning for a very casual walk around the grounds.
I believe there was more to be found, but the heat and mosquitoes in the late morning dampened our enthusiasm. The grass was also high on the trails. Bring mosquito repellent and wear long pants if you go. Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (several) Rose-breasted Grosbeak, few, one looked like a hatch bird American Goldfinch Baltimore Oriole (few) Gray Catbird (few) House Wren (few) Tree Swallow Common Yellowthroat Downy Woodpecker American Robin Ruby-throated Hummingbird- (somewhere nearby is a nest.) Red-bellied Woodpecker Osprey Black and White Warbler (looked like a hatch bird) Tree Swallow Cedar Waxwing (flock) Northern Mockingbird Chipping Sparrow Northern Flicker Chimney Swift Snowy Egret We tried to relocate the Blue-winged Warbler, American Redstart and Worm-eating Warbler I saw Thursday night with Deborah Allen and Bob DeCandido, but were unsuccessful.
