Went into Inwood Hill Park in upper Manhattan on this foggy, damp morning. Had about 50 species in about 2 hours (7:15 - 9:15 am).
Highlights included: Great Egret (2 in bay at north end) Killdeer (one calling on north end soccer fields) Eastern Kingbird Great Crested Flycatcher Eastern Wood-Pewee (calling on ridge) Rough-winged and Barn swallows (over bays at north end) Wood Thrush (singing) Veery About a dozen warblers inc. Northern Parula, Magnolia, Black-throated Green, Blackpoll, Ovenbird, No. Waterthrush, and Wilson's (singing) Scarlet Tanager (singing) Indigo Bunting (males and females) Bird song seemed to be picking up as the fog lifted when I had to leave around 9 am.
