at the time enjoying a big buteo flight (83 red-tails between 11:30am and 1pm)

The BLUE GROSBEAK was seen again today at Kissena Corridor (probably better

Also in this vicinity were a Winter Wren, up to 10 Fox Sparrows, a Nashville

of 5 VESPER SPARROWS in the NW section of the park on the ball fields south
of the Bronx Kill. For me the best bird of the day was a single EASTERN
