Having had little luck with shorebirds recently, I decided to change my approach and look for some early migrant passerines in the gardens at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. I spent most the early morning observing the local breeding population of Robins (abundant), Catbirds, Yellow Warblers, American Redstarts, and White-eyed Vireos. On my way back to refuge headquarters at 8:15AM I was treated to a Lawrence's Warbler near the entrance to the blind in the South Garden. Outside of Northern Waterthrush, this was my only migrant warbler for the day.
