The last few days have been pretty damp which has kept me indoors. Today was forecast to be dry but overcast, so I got back into the Ramble. Quite a few FOY birds including
Northern Parula, Prairie Warbler, Ovenbird and 3
Indigo Bunting. Other migrants included
Black-and-white Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Northern Waterthrush, Eastern Towhee, Hermit Thrush, Wood Thrush, Veery and
Blue-headed Vireo.
Walking back to work I found a
White-crowned Sparrow on the west side of the Great Lawn. On the reservoir the breeding plumaged
Slavonian Grebe was still in the southwest corner, as well as newly arrived
Barn Swallow, Tree Swallow, Northern Rough-wing Swallow and 2
Chimney Swifts all hawking insects on the north side of the reservoir.
