I arrived a bit later than hoped so I missed a few birds seen by Bob McNulty et al but still checked off some personal FOYs despite not a lot of activity. Best was the Worm-eating Warbler Bob found just off the boardwalk as it gleaned from dead leaves. Such a pretty warbler. We got to watch it for awhile as it foraged in silence. FOY. Just as we were leaving I spotted some movement in the ground—an Ovenbird showed itself pretty well. 

It was awfully warm by the time I got Woodside Green and Bob & I did not find much. I heard a N Parula singing an alternate song which is always interesting. A couple Yellow-rumpeds were chasing each other. 3-4 mallard drakes were having some kind testosterone battle—much chasing on & off the water with lots of quacking & wing-flapping—sort of odd behavior esp when the chase continued into the woods bordering the stream.
