No as windy as yesterday, my walk around the Park was pleasant but the expectations to see a good number migrants turned out low.

Three species of warblers, the regulars Palm & Pine.  But at Boulder Bridge, I saw the FOS for the Park, 1 Black-and-white Warbler.

Other sps were: Eastern Towhee, Fox Sparrow, CedarWaxwing, Pied-billed Grebe, Great Egret, Wood Duck, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Chipping Sparrow, Eastern Phoebe, Brown Creeper.

I left the Park close to midday, then I missed the other sps of warblers reporter later. Mañana!!
