A mild, somewhat warm fall day greeted an energetic group of 40 birders. Though a few participants were delayed by early subway snags, all eventually arrived in good spirits, ready to explore. Highlights of the day included excellent looks at Orange-Crowned Warbler, Philadelphia Vireo, and White-eyed Vireo. A Cooper’s Hawk added excitement as it was mobbed noisily by a large flock of European Starlings.
