Some pretty diligent searching between about 11:30 and 2:00 today failed to turn up either prize species, but it was an interesting harbinger of fall/winter in this little park and nearby library plantings. Along with perhaps half a dozen Yellowthroats (only one mature male), three Ovenbirds, and perhaps four Waterthrushes (one possibly a Louisiana), and some Catbirds. Also a single Swainson's Thrush (the first of many for me here in the months to come, I'm sure) and a female American Redstart in the shrubs between Fifth Ave and the library. --Joe Wallace
