It was, if anything, even quieter this morning at 42nd Street this morning than 
yesterday. I had 44 species yesterday, and only 36 this morning, in roughly the 
same amount of time. I would hazard a guess that there were more birders than 
warbler species wandering around the park. I had only seven warblers, and 
nothing new, and ran into seven other birders. Orchard Orioles put on a good 
show at the Park headquarters, and that was the highlight.

Lest anyone be discouraged from coming out for tomorrow's 42nd Street bird 
walk, I understand that Arun Bose has arranged for a fallout and at least one 
ABA category 5 rarity for the morning, so come on out! The Crazy Coots and 
Purple Martians would appreciate your help in getting our Big Days off to a 
good start as well
