I spent over 7.5 hours (7:35-3:20) birding Blydenburgh County Park (Suffolk)
today, hoping the southwest winds overnight and spotty showers during the day
would deliver a nice dose of migrants, as good as or better than the modest
influx that occurred 5/10 & 5/11. Well, it was hardly a bonanza
An orange, olive, yellow and some red SUMMER TANAGER showed up in Hempstead
Lake SP this morning. A rather odd bizarre looking bird. I've never seen one
in this transitional plumage before. Otherwise, the migration here is still
slow.
At Nickerson Beach, PIPING PLOVER and AMERICAN
Had a great show of migrants near the wood chip pile near the Block house
in North Woods at Central park which included warblers like Bay-breasted,
Blackburnian, Canada, chest-nut sided and Wilson's. Might have heard a Cape
May but not sure about it. Also saw a single Female Rose-breasted
Highlights were:
Kentucky Warbler below martlings bridge near the last red bridge before forest
avenue. Bird was between the path and the houses about 30 feet from red bridge.
Hooded Warbler - female just below martlings avenue. On steep slope before the
paved path.
Cape May Warbler - 4
Wilson's
Despite rainy conditions, warblers were abundant this morning at Ferncliff
Forest in Rhinebeck NY. The highlight was a beautiful male CAPE MAY WARBLER
perched conveniently next to a WORM-EATING WARBLER on the East Tower Trail
slightly downhill from the firetower. The rain was pretty heavy at
This note is actually about "other stuff" again--specifically spring movements
of Barn and other swallows on Long Island. Since Steve Walter and I last
digressed to this topic a few weeks ago, I've noticed very few reports
concerning visible migration of landbirds, two exceptions being reports
A nice influx of migrants arrived last night into the North Woods of Central
Park. In the 45 or so minutes I had to bird before work, 17 species of warbler
including Cape May, Blackburnian, and Wilson's were seen/heard. Good numbers of
other expected migrants like Scarlett Tanager,
Hi all,
This morning a minor convention of Cape May Warblers was to be seen at the
lower Lobe (Wagner Cove) and at the Point a male Mourning Warbler (found by
Al Levantin) put on quite a show.
good birding,
