Peter. Super slow day in the park for migrants with only 4 warbler species one of which is a local breeder and the other three were females including the dreaded female Blackpoll Warbler, harbinger of no more spring.  It was a great group of 9 birders and we had fun.  It did feel more like a summer day as most of the activity was of breeding birds, including fledgling Robins and Starlings.
