Due to rain and wind, we decided to have a late start. We left Manhattan at 11:00 am, wondering if such a late arrival might have negative effects upon our sightings. We experienced the opposite. We were greeted by 3 Golden-crowned Kinglets, abundant Blackpoll, Palm and Yellow-rumped Warblers. We observed a Belted Kingfisher. Highlights included: 2 Indigo Buntings and several sightings of White-crowned Sparrows. Savannah Sparrows were abundant. An exciting observation was a Common Raven.
