A quick circuit in the hot midday of the crowded park revealed an unexpected Waterthrush in the southwest corner, where the plantings are deeper and hiding places easier to find. I'm nearly certain it was a Northern, but though it was active, moving back and forth and around the shack there, it stayed in deep shadow and remained silent. Other sightings in the park included a pair of Catbirds apparently nesting in a yew (?) on the northern edge and a female Brown-headed Cowbird lurking near the Catbirds' bush.
