Based on radar reports I spent a bit of time at Rockefeller this a.m. not crazy but Nine species of wood warbler highlighted by blackburnian, blue winged a few magnolia. Multiples of N. Parula and BT green. Then up high upon Hook Mountain (Nyack) between about 11:30-2. There was a broadwing push b/w 1 and 2 p.m. Kettles of 88, 59, 12, 21 and 4. Fortunately the one w 88 birds was by far the closest - very cool. Also good numbers of sharp shinned hawk (50) and kestrel (20), as well as a few merlins, coop, bald eagle and non-counted by the official counters bc likely not migrating yet several osprey, red tails and a peregrine. I’m thinking late afternoon may have brought larger broad wing push but could not stay. A brief stop at Croton Point Nature Center on way home did not turn up the immature RED HEADED woodpecker beautifully photographed this a.m. by K. Lamb. Did pick up a solitary sandpiper in parking lot puddle by ball field
