Alan Baratz tells me that Prospect Park in Brooklyn had its first Northern Waterthrush of the season yesterday morning. That tells me that there was most likely a flight of this species overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday from its northern breeding grounds.
Young or fledgling Downy Woodpeckers attacking some of our extensive standing dead wood. Easily identified by their red caps which they hold only in their juvenile state.
Lots of butterflies flickering about and fast moving in the heat -- too fast to ID with a couple of exceptions: a Monarch and a comma, probably a Question Mark.
