North winds overnight, mid-summer dispersal, shorebird migration, a sunny day and a good deal of patience combined for some interesting viewing this morning at Green-Wood Cemetery, including 4 warbler species, and 2 sandpiper species (spotted and lesser yellowlegs) at the Sylvan Water.  But it looks like things are beginning early.

Canada goose (2 on Crescent Water, chased onto it by biped flapping big plastic wings and blowing eagle whistle, who then drove away in pickup, leaving said geese afloat)
Gray catbird
Great blue heron (flew away in response to above-mentioned whistle)
Black-crowned night heron
Cedar waxwing (many, including juveniles)
