On the way to annual Cherry Blossom festival of Roosevelt Island, visited the community garden which usually has a good collection of birds. Had a singing Northern Parula. They were reported last weekend - but not sure if any have been seen in Manhattan yet. Also of interest around garden - Yellow-rump Warbler, Field Sparrow, Brown Creeper, and plenty of Hermit Thrushes. A few Brants, a Palm Warbler (yellow) and a few Ruby-crowned Kinglets were by the southern end.
