Saw Mill River Audubon's regular 2nd Mon am bird walk at Rockefeller State Park Preserve, Westchester County, enjoyed the sound of Louisiana Waterthrush singing in the swamp north of Swan Lake --previous years' nesting territory -- as well as sound & sight of a couple of singing Pine Warblers. Small number of Palm Warblers around as well. Lone Rusty Blackbird was seen on W shore of Swan Lake. At least three Northern Rough-winged Swallows were over Swan Lake along with the Tree Swallows already present and claiming nest boxes.

Perhaps just passing through but would be interesting to know if there is yet another Osprey nest in the near area, perhaps somewhere around Tarrytown, Pocantico, or Sleepy Hollow? (In addition to the one N at Croton RR station.)
