[nysbirds-l] Yellow-throated Warbler at Hempstead Lake State Park (Nassau Co.)
We observed the YTWA at about 12:00PM at Valley Stream State Park feeding next to the culvert that carries the stream south under Hendrickson Avenue. It would perch on the vertical concrete headwall and search the cracks in the concrete for food. While watching the bird it suddenly flew across Hendrickson Ave. to a tree on the south side of the road. Birders should check both the north and south sides of Hendrickson Ave. for the bird. Hempstead Lake State Park had a nice variety of swallows, including Cliff (Thanks to Andrew for posting!), Bank, Barn, Tree and Rough-winged (not seen by us). The Cliff and Barn are particularly elusive and had appeared with the many Tree Swallows sporadically. Also new for us was Greater Yellowlegs and Great Egret at Captree Island.
