The park today would have been a complete delight if I had a robin fetish! They were seriously everywhere - more robins than sparrows, grackles, and pigeons put together.
I was happy to see a couple of cardinals and a blue jay.
I did see a couple of waxwings at the stone benchlet, one of the red-bellies by the wooden bridge, and a downy (which I even saw drumming) by Evodia field. Oh, and a lingering common yellow-throat at the upper lobe, along with one mystery warbler which may have been a female.
I just went around the lake and took the subway back home, didn't go down to the pond. I was hoping for some water birds, but nobody was out - no herons, no egrets, no cormorants. I did run into a very nice birder lady who said she saw a green heron at the point a couple of days ago, but we couldn't find it today.
How quickly I have become spoiled! I remember when seeing a waxwing and 2 types of woodpecker would have been a banner day for me. Hahahahaha, I think I might be entering my intermediate phase. :-)
