I walk through the cemetery every day on my lunch hour, and finally
hit paydirt today.
The bird of the day is the palm warbler, though the appearance of the
flickers is
proof that migration had hit hard in this particular spot.

Here's what I was able to identify:

~50 Northern flickers
~30 Palm warblers
~20 chimney swifts
~10 white throated sparrows
song sparrow
black and white warbler
3-4 blackpoll warblers
yellow rumped warbler
magnolia warbler
3-4 downy woodpeckers
hairy woodpecker
scarlet tanager (either female or male in fall colors)
3-4 thrushes (most likely swainson's)
yellow bellied flycatcher (which I saw catch and eat a moth)

I also saw a brown creeper at Elmwood Park on Tuesday, so this has
been a nice week!
