After chipping tree brush from storm damaged trees , as I backed up the truck, several GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS flew up from within one dense fallen limb, from dead leaves likely hosting insects ; all the kinglets first clambered up the tree trunk , subsequently flying higher up into the tree.I thought that funny.
After work , a little walk for seeing anything new. At the rink cove, 3 SWAMP SPARROWS flew into the phragmite edge, as they were spooked from my intrusion upon the shoreline;there was another Swamp sparrow inside the rink.NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH along the rink cove, shielded from raindrops. About the last few things to report on this wet day, after the Swamp Sparrows: SCARLET TANAGER on Breeze Hill , BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER in the elms across from the Peninsula sumac grove; Osprey and Swifts flyovers; and soaking wet socks for me I cant wait to take off.....
I am sure after the storm passes , good stuff will come by [maybe Wednesday].We'll be on the "drier" lookout...

From Rob Bate:
I went out late again. Only 3 Northern Waterthrushes on S Shore but the Butterfly Meadow was hopping, 3 Black &White Warblers on one twig. Mostly the usual suspects but I did have a nonbreeding female Indigo Bunting up in the meadow.
