Good day. The park is still busy with new migrants. Palm and Palm Warblers still abundant. Notable birds were a brilliant, very blue, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher working the upper Lullwater area seen by many. Also the Rusty Blackbirds continue, fist seen on lower Lullwater and then just above the reedy pool along the Lullwater opposite the Nethermead and again later on down by the Lullwater near the old skating rink. 22 Hermit Thrushes, 6 Swamp Sparrows.
