Robert Moses SP featured an exciting morning flight again today, with excellent volume and variety of diurnal migrants, but numbers of re-orienting nocturnal migrants (e.g., Myrtle Warblers) were much lower than yesterday's.
Highlights included four Cave Swallows (pairs around 8:30 and 9:00), a Baltimore Oriole around 9:15, a Short-eared Owl around 9:30, single Red-headed and Red-bellied Woodpeckers around 10:00, as well as 51 Rusty Blackbirds, five Royal Terns, three Common Eiders, and 15 Red-throated Loons. I spoke with Paul Buckley around mid-day, and he related seeing two Cave Swallows along the Hudson River in Riverdale, Bronx County.
