Just before noon today I found a female BLUE GROSBEAK feeding in a small clearing on the west side of Hoyt Farm Park, just southeast of the water tower (40.822712, -73.272954). I observed it feeding for several minutes before eventually losing track of it. Also seen in the immediate vicinity were male Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Indigo Bunting, and Common Yellowthroat. Some other notable birds seen or heard elsewhere in the park included Solitary Sandpiper, Warbling and Red-eyed vireos, House Wren, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, five other species of warbler (Blue-winged, N. Parula, Yellow, Black-throated Blue, and Blackpoll), Scarlet Tanager (pair), and Baltimore Oriole.
