Hi Peter,
Despite NW winds and cold temps, we had a fine morning with good variety. The wind kept birdsong to a minimum. 64 species in all, including 10 warbler species, a flyover Broad-winged Hawk as I walked out of the park, and a Yellow-throated Vireo as we made a detour to look for the Black-throated Gray Warbler found by Ryan Mandelbaum earlier. That bird was re-found as the walk broke up shortly before noon, and a half-dozen folks from our group walked over there to see it.
Here is our list from the day: https://ebird.org/checklist/S108293395
