Oh when, oh when will the warblers arrive? Not today is the basic answer. Hopefully soon! They are just trickling in a little bit at a time. Luckily it was still a beautiful day with lots to see. I started out with 3 red-tailed hawks circling above. I love seeing them! I waas where the oriole's nest was last year, hoping they came back, but I didn't see or hear them.

I took about four steps and then saw these two turkey vultures circling in a different part of the sky. Great start!

A warbler! Yes, I saw one warbler, this gorgeous palm warbler. I saw it for about 20 seconds, which is not nearly long enough. Also, where are your friends, little one?

This towhee was not shy at all, it was fine being out in the open as long as it was in the shade.

Some house sparrows are building a nest in the traffic light in the park by Columbus Circle. There goes Daddy!
