- Comments: "*rare oversummer in NYC where it is not known to breed, but has been almost annual around this time in Greenwood - classically such an early arrival would be heralded as the harbinger of an irruption, but not every year they've made an early push has featured an irruption, so perhaps these are merely early dispersers? Maybe they're hitting the coast after fleeing a part of the boreal forest that's burning, as other boreal nesters have been found to do in recent years? - all speculation. Anyway, continued presence at this grove of trees (40.6500608, -73.9904365) audio recorded"

"Summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the treehouse; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape; but most of all, summer was Dill."

Harper Lee,author To Kill a Mockingbird
