We stopped by Berliner Park and the nearby Greenlawn Cemetery for a few hours this morning, and were rewarded with good migrant diversity despite the windy, cold conditions.

Cuckoo - 1 Black-billed was in the oaks west of the Pit in the cemetery
Flycatchers - many Empidonax, mostly Least & Acadian; also many Pewees and some Great Crested
Vireos - Berliner had Yellow-thr., Red-eyed, Warbling, while Greenlawn added Philadelphia & Red-eyed
Swallows - mixed species flocks worked the river at Berliner in the cold wind, including Trees, Barns, Rough-wings, and Banks.  The cemetery Pit had 10+ Rough-wings.
Thrushes - Swainson's were everywhere at both sites; the Greenlawn ravine had a Gray-cheek, while 2 Woods were singing at Berliner
Mimids - Catbirds were everywhere at both sites, and Greenlawn also had 2 Mockingbirds
