Good morning, It is now raining in Baldwin but the towhee made a brief appearance at (40.6275069, -73.6066148) around at 8:55 AM, refound by Brent Bomkamp. This is along the NW side of the lot next to the tennis courts (there's a giant pile of sand in the lot too). It was only seen for 30 seconds or so.
Shortly after an unseen towhee species was making flight calls a little ways down the paved path north of the path at (40.6277993, -73.6076156). If that was indeed the bird, then it may be following the same east-west vector as yesterday morning.
