Ed and All,

Hard Bargain Farm isn't open to the public but if you go to Piscataway 
Park you can access much of the property (riverfront, hay fields, swamp, 
marsh) around the private part of the farm. I've set HBF as a HotSpot 
with EBird and somebody else set Piscataway Park as one also so you 
could look up the location that way if you like. You could come visit 
the farm on May 3 during our annual Spring Farm Fest, we'll be open to 
the public, have music, food, hay rides, etc. but you could just wander 
around bird-watching instead. :) Directions and info are on 
hardbargainfarm.org.

Another sign of spring this weekend was the return of the Northern 
Parula! I thought I heard one friday, definately heard them on saturday 
and they are all over the place this morning.

Good birding,
Chris Ordiway @ Hard Bargain Farm
