Overall a slow day in the park this morning--there should be a heck of a push whenever these northerly winds finally break.  I momentarily thought I had my park-first Hermit Thrush, but it turned out instead to be my park-first OVENBIRD, doing the best he could with the few square yards of "forest floor" that the park has to offer.  I doubt he'll stay very long!

Also had a single brown PURPLE FINCH (keeping apart from the large flock of House Finches), and a bit of a rebound in Chipping Sparrow numbers.  Yellow-rumps but no Parulas.  And the male goldfinches are really looking quite spiffy now.
