Checked out Governors Island to see if anything unusual was pushed into the bay from the tropical storm. Nothing special, just watched a couple of Common Terms dancing around the wide open bay now visible in a sweeping view from the newly opened south end of the island. The new man-made hills are also a promising environment - occupied now by a large flock of Brown-headed Cowbirds. The heavily tree-shaded Nolan Park turned out a few nice migrants. A Redstart, Red-eyed Vireo, three chasing Peewees, but the highlight was a Yellow-throated Vireo.
