Finally, I got the great luck to see the Vesper Sparrow. I found it with a large flock of House Sparrows. I had the chance to take some pxls.
Beside this, I saw 2 Northern Parula + 3 more sps of warblers: Palm, Myrtle, & Yellowthroat.
In the Upper Pool, 1 American Wigeon swimming along with a pair of Wood Ducks.
Around the Nethermead Arches Bridge, I saw 1 Brown Thrasher.
Another great late walk in the Park.
