I birded HLSP briefly today. I had at least 5 Northern Waterthrushes
(could not locate any Louisiana), 2 solitary sandpipers, and at least 2
spotted sandpipers. Also saw a few American Redstarts. The mosquitoes
were really bad!

Black Throated Green, two Northern Waterthrushes the usual suspects, and still
counting. Looks like some nice birding here this morning

Late afternoon (2:00pm) walk at Hempstead Lake State Park today produced a
first of season Blue gray gnatcatcher for me near the South pond. Above the
South Pond was a swirling flock of Tree Swallows, as well as 6 Barn
Swallows and 2 Northern Roughed-winged Swallows.

Despite the chilly weather, there was a nice assortment of early spring
migrants and winter resident species at Hempstead Lake State Park (HLSP) this
morning. Upon arriving at the HLSP parking lot, I heard a Common Raven calling,
and discovered a pair in the roadway east of the parking lot

We stopped by HLSP this morning in hopes of seeing a Mourning Warbler (there
had been one reported at HLSP on Saturday from the South Pond area) with no
luck. However, we did observe a calling Acadian Flycatcher along the stream
opposite the restrooms. Eastern Wood Pewees were present in fair
We spent four hours birding Hempstead Lake State Park this morning, finding
nineteen species of warblers. Our best find was a Bay-breasted Warbler and a
late Yellow-throated Vireo. We were unable to relocate the Prothonotary Warbler
found Thursday morning at the stream outlet to the South Pond.

Cool weather did not seem to inhibit the number of birds at HLSP this morning,
although the species observed seemed similar to what was reported from the same
location yesterday. Highlights were four species of swallow on South Pond,
including an early Cliff Swallow, as well as Tree, Barn, and

Birding was slow at HLSP early this morning, where there were more birders than
birds. Other than Golden-crowned Kinglets there were few migrants. However,
later in the morning the birding picked up (after we left). At West End there

At HLSP this morning the birding highlights were an Orange-crowned Warbler in
company with a singing Ruby-crowned Kinglet, both observed in the woods south
of the main parking area. The date suggests that the birds may have
successfully overwintered in our area or points immediately south.
