Hamilton Park is a small park in downtown Jersey City; the surrounding neighborhood is named for the park. Like many urban “micro-parks,” it serves as a migrant trap, with birds sometimes much more up close and personal than in an area with more available habitat. As of this writing, I’ve seen 56 species in (or flying over) Hamilton Park.
