Despite the little rain over the Park, the walk this morning was very exciting. I noticed the arrival of some new migrants for the Park.
The best was a lonely individual of Rusty Blackbird seen in the Vale. Other species worth mentioning are: Chipping Sparrow, Belted Kingfisher, Tree Swallow, Wood Duck, Palm & Pine Warblers, Swamp, Hermit Thrush.
