Was at 42nd Street in the Parking Lot before running into Gerry emerging from
the woods. First heard then saw a male Summer Tanager. The bird was in another
tree behind the Mulberry-it then flew more into the woodland. Sadly no Canada's
but a nice display by a Spotted Sandpiper on the rocks along the stream. Also
in the parking lot a lone Cedar Waxing and a Northern Parula. The Swainson's
Thrush were tntc and the vocalizations were beautiful!
