Dear Ospreyers,
I had a look around Patterson Park for migrants this morning. They are thinning out, but there is still a decent mixed sparrow flock near the casino, and a Cooper's hawk to keep them on their claws. List is below, pasted from Excel (hope the formatting holds together); also 6 Chimney Swifts were foraging over the park yesterday morning but none today.
