I made my annual pilgrimage to Doodletown Road today in the pleasant company of Bob and Collen Veltri. We saw good numbers of ceruleans, including females on nest. Hoodeds were everywhere, often singing alternate songs, one of which was a spitting image of a yellow throated warbler. When we

Despite my abysmal record of success at finding target birds this year, I visited Doodletown Road today hoping to get the Cerulean and Kentucky warblers that had eluded me thus far. I arrived early, only to be swarmed with mosquitos and flies. There was plenty of birdsong, but I had to keep

This great birding spot is in northern Rockland County.   41.301533, -73.986193 For those who are new to the area:  I just noticed that Google maps no longer shows the correct path for birding Doodletown.  If you go there and zoom in, DO NOT take the path labeled Ramapo-Dunderberg Trail (at

I birded Doodletown Road yesterday from approximately 8:30 to 1:30. It was a delightful day and the birds did not disappoint. My highlights included 10 warblers: Canada (2), Cerulean (4), Blue-winged, Hooded, Redstarts, Magnolias, Yellow, Black-throated Blue, and the best look I've ever had at a

Two friends and I had a great day at Doodletown today. We saw 60+ species. Many birds are on territory, including Hooded and Cerulean Warblers, Louisiana Waterthushes and Indigo Buntings. We observed both Cerulean Warblers and Blue-gray Gnatcatchers on nests. There were lots of migrants as

All,   I had an extremely good, rather brief, late afternoon trip to Doodletown Road, part of Bear Mountain State Park.  Excellent  migration, many birds, almost constant activity.   4:30 - 6:00 pm.   The highlight was probably the adult male Cerulean that stayed below my eye level ten feet
