During a brief 30 min walk on the low road (bay side/wine cellars) I was treated to a wide open YB Cuckoo maybe 15' off ground feeding on gypsy moth cocoon. Also warblers: black throated green, pine (late?), red start, and ubiquitous yellow; plus towhees, b. oriole, catbirds, red eye and warbling vireo.
I understand bobolinks are back on landfill have not seen/heard them yet. Ran into a DEC Naturalist unsuccessfully trying to see if bittern and/or sora are in marsh. L.
