couldn't sleep, so I did some AM birding (from 7:30-9).
Not much going on, unless you love orioles. There are more orioles at AB than there were robins.
I spotted one female orchard oriole very briefly before she was chased away by other orioles. I may have spotted a male orchard oriole 6 inches off the ground on a low bush branch, but it flew before I could turn the corner to fully ID it.
spotted at least 1 rose-breasted grosbeak near the parking lot and heard a second calling.
saw 4-5 myrtle warblers. otherwise, zero warbler activity.
still some kinglet activity and some leftover winter water fowl.
a killdeer gave a flyby and some of the terns were hunting away on both sides of the park (inner bay and Lake Ontario side).
still lots of various sparrows.
