[nysbirds-l] Rockefeller State Park, Westchester County, May 5
As usual, I parked at the free spot, 41.106056, -73.85, walked up the path (east), later walked down to the west. I don't walk far. I was there about 8:30 to 10:30. Resident warblers are in with pretty good numbers: Yellow, Redstart, Blue-winged, Yellow-throat. Still a couple Yellow-rumped around. Warbling Vireo back at the usual spot along the lower path, to the west. Red-eyed Vireo, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Veery. No other really migrant warblers. The two highlights were a pair of Black-billed Cuckoos, and a pair of Orchard Orioles. I'll post photos later at the New York birders facebook site.

[nysbirds-l] Rockefeller State Park, Westchester
At last! A walk down Old Sleepy Hollow Trail revealed a massive invasion of Rockefeller's typical migratory and nesting species over the past couple of days. Among the highlights were a slew of warblers, most singing and many at eye level: Black-throated Blue, Black-throated Green, Northern Parula, Yellow, Blue-winged, and Myrtle, Common Yellowthroat, American Redstart, and a Waterthrush (probably Louisiana). Also: Baltimore and Orchard Orioles, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Warbling Vireo, Veery, Wood Thrush, and a whole flock of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, at least six males (including one fascinating immature in transition plumage) in one loose group, tussling, singing, "tinking", and challenging us invaders. Lovely. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
