Greetings, Peter
With the threat of rain on a relatively warm, somewhat windy and generally overcast day we set out in search. Thankfully the rain held off until after after our bird walk was completed. Highlights included lingering warblers and Chimney Swifts, plus one each of Rose-breasted Grosbeak and Scarlet Tanager. Perhaps most notable of all was a roosting Common Nighthawk in a tall horse chestnut tree at the north end of the vale. Meanwhile, the sparrows may have been at least slightly subdued by a scrutinizing sparrow hawk (American Kestrel) that made an unsuccessful swipe at a small flock of mixed sparrows on the fenced-in ballfield.
Here is my checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S120614427
Best regards, Ed
