Hempstead Lake SP; 18 Mar. Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) went looking for early migrants. Till now, things have been lackluster. Even the vegetation is late with red maples just stating to bud. There was some migrant movement into the park in the last day or so with 4 Wood Ducks, Tree Swallows, single members of both Kinglets, a dozen Yellow-rumped Warblers (not usually found here in winter) and a pair of Eastern Towhees. It's a start.
