 Just a late note from yesterday,  During my son's baseball game at the Diamond in the Pines faciltiy in Coram (Suffolk Co.), a Pine Warbler started belting out a somewhat abbreviated song from beyond the centerfield wall. Perhaps it was "pining" for someone to put an end to the staggering boredom

There was a nice influx of migrants into the North End of Central Park last night. Not having arrived until nearly 8 this morning, and also having to limit my search to the North Woods, Loch, Wildflower Meadow and just a bit of the Harlem Meer, there must have been much more that I surely
