[nysbirds-l] Doodletown Road, Bear Mountain

[Peter Reisfeld]

Today I made my annual pilgimmage to Doodletown Road.  By the time I had 
climbed up Gray’s hill I had most of my target birds, with singing ceruleans, 
yellow-throated vireos, indigo buntings, a yellow billed cuckoo, a singing 
Louisiana waterthrush,  a blue winged warbler, a worm-eating warbler, and 
hooded in the background.  But when I ran into a bunch of Queens and Long 
Island birding buddies leaving the First June cemetery things really kicked up 
a notch. 

After a stop at the other June cemetery, we headed up Doodletown road to see if 
the Kentucky warbler was in it’s usual spot.  On the way Eric Miller found a 
female Cape may warbler in a thin, bittersweet-covered tree.  Then we saw an 
olive-sided flycatcher in a bare tree a bit further up the road.  I had to take 
a personal call and missed the pileated in the woods past the stream.  When I 
headed up the hill to see if I could catch up with it, the I got the surprise 
of the day.  Eric called out  that he has found a golden winged warbler in a 
meadow south of the road.  It was a first at Doodletown for pretty much 
everyone there.  

We missed the Kentucky, but got scattering of other birds including multiple 
worm-eatings, ceruleans, cuckoos, a few more warblers found by Eric including 
magnolia, BT green, and canada, another olive sided flycatcher, and even a 
timber rattlesnake along Pleasant Valley road.  When we were all done I had 
seen or heard 16 species of warbler for a great day of birding. 
Wishing you good birding days as well, 

Peter

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown

[Joseph Wallace]

A morning's walk through Doodletown, Bear Mountain State Park, was
typically productive (and typically wonderful). Cerulean Warblers were
apparent throughout, with the best views coming along the hillside near the
entrance (including an eye-level female and a singing male on a bare
branch) and near the Herbert Cemetery (another singing male). We also heard
and saw several Hooded Warblers, with the best view again coming opposite
Herbert Cemetery: a singing, eye-level male in beautiful plumage. Other
highlights included several cuckoos (calling Yellow-billed especially);
abundant vireos (including a Yellow-throated battling a catbird for turf);
and a Green Heron perched on a tree branch overlooking the pond. Non-avian
pleasures included a beaver in the pond; a couple of northern watersnakes;
and a pair of red efts, as gorgeous as always against the muddy trail.

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown IBA, Rockland County, early am Sat 5/20

[Anne Swaim]

Saw Mill River Audubon walk this morning -- starting at 5:30am and lasting
four hours. Chilly and gray conditions most of walk.

Our eBird list is here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S37005508

Some highlights:

* 15 warbler species including several Cerulean Warbler, several Hooded
Warbler, good look at singing Wilson's Warbler plus three different Canada
Warblers heard, one seen well

* One heard-only Tennessee Warbler high on ridge as we came back to
entrance on 1777E trail above the road.

* At the first bend going up the road, just after 5:30am, we clearly heard
a Mourning Warbler singing several times but never saw it, no other
vocalizations from this bird.

* Of additional interest to us was a Gray Catbird by the lake unexpectedly
imitating a Chuck's-will-widow three times before switching back to more
typical squeaky jumble.

Also of note was rather poor condition of 1777E trail: deeply rutted with
churned up mud and many tracks including ATV tracks -- perhaps from foot
race previous weekend?

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown Road, Bear Mtn State Park - 9.4.16

[Amy Simmons]

Date:  Sunday, Sept. 4, 2016
Location:  Doodletown Rd., Bear Mountain, NY
Observers:  Amy Simmons, Claire Borrelli and Kym Michaud

Knowing that the beach was going to be a bit too windy for our taste, we 
decided to instead have a walk and picnic at Doodletown Road in Bear Mountain 
State Park on Sunday.  While we didn't see all that many birds, the weather 
couldn't have been more gorgeous and what we DID see was a real treat:  a 
three-foot long yellow-phase Timber Rattlesnake basking in the sun, and a 
mother Black Bear with two cubs on the trail!

I've seen a number of harmless snakes at Bear Mountain over the years, but this 
was my first rattlesnake there.  We were walking around one of the cemeteries 
and as we were exiting to go back to the main trail, one of us thought she'd 
have a seat on a log and rest for a moment.  As she was about to sit down, her 
eye caught a rather large yellow and umber snake, loosely coiled,  basking in 
the sun at the end of the log -- just below where she was about to sit!  
Needless to say, she (and all of us) slowly backed away.  It started to lightly 
shake its rattle but stopped once we'd backed-up quite a bit.  The snake was 
absolutely gorgeous and while we were all slightly unnerved at how we just 
hadn't noticed it until it was almost too late, seeing it was a real thrill.  
Thinking this was probably the highlight of our day, we headed back down the 
trail to make our way back to the car.  On the way, we heard a loud tapping 
noise and were able to spot a Pileated Woodpecker foraging for bugs high-up in 
one of the trees.  Once again, nature surprised us as Claire suddenly, calmly 
and quietly stated, "There are three bears coming up the trail in front of us." 
 Sure enough, a large Black Bear and two cubs were ambling up the trail toward 
us.  When we all turned to look, the mother and one of the cubs disappeared 
into the bushes, but the other cub was quite curious and stood and stared at us 
for quite a while.  We waited and when he didn't seem to be going anywhere, we 
decided to start clapping and yelling loudly, since he was blocking our way 
back to the car.  This did the trick and he scampered after his mother.  Even 
so, we decided to make a LOT of noise for the next couple of hundred yards.

So, even without lots of birds, it was a pretty great day.  Below is a list of 
the birds we did manage to see:

4 Black Vulture
1 Turkey Vulture
1 Red-tailed Hawk
3 Ruby-throated Hummingbird
1 Belted Kingfisher
3 Red-bellied Woodpecker
1 Northern Flicker
3 Pileated Woodpecker
1 Red-eyed Vireo
1 Blue Jay
2 American Crow
4 Tufted Titmouse
1 White-breasted Nuthatch
1 House Wren
1 Hermit Thrush
15 American Robin
4 Gray Catbird
1 Black-and-white Warbler
5 American Redstart
16 Chipping Sparrow
25 Common Grackle
3 American Goldfinch

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown today

[Robert Lewis]

Doodletown is a well known area within Bear Mountain State Park in Rockland 
County.
I arrived around 9:30.  On the hike up, pretty dull except for Warbling Vireo 
and a few Black Vultures.
In the vicinity of the pond and Lemon Road:
Yellow-thr. VireoYellow WarblerHooded Warbler (several)Canada 
WarblerChestnut-sided WarblerAm. Redstart (many)Comm. Yellowthroat
Balt. Oriole (many)Orchard Oriole (young male)
Yellow-billed CuckooE. KingbirdIndigo Bunting (several)
various common species.
On the walk to the Kentucky Warbler spot:  a nice pair of Ceruleans, more of 
the fairly common species.
The Kentucky Warbler was singing up to about 11:15 at the previously reported 
spot, here: 41.297727, -73.998780.Google calls this trail Dunderberg Turnpike.  
There are two little signs here about the old ruins and a stone wall.
On the way back down, within a few hundred yards of the highway, I was sure I 
heard another Kentucky Warbler singing.  I was too exhausted to chase it. It 
was roughly here:  41.302014, -73.988004.  Google maps doesn't show it, but 
there is a trail in that vicinity.

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown Road 5/12

[Peter Reisfeld]

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 finally saw the bird who 
was singing, it was the first time in my life I was disappointed to see a 
hooded warbler.  

Our main target , however, was the Kentucky. We were encouraged when we ran 
into Tom Burke and Gail Benson at the intersection of Doodletown and Pleasant 
Valley road who had just seen the bird further up Doodletown.  The bird had 
been seen just past the bridge as well as further up the hill, but we struck 
out at both sites.  We returned after birding Pleasant Valley to reports that 
the bird was again singing just past the bridge. We hurried up the road only to 
run into a road block.  There was a group of hikers that decided to do their 
business right where the bird was singing, and their mates asked us to wait to 
respect their privacy. It seemed like forever, but the bird was still singing 
when we were finally allowed entry.  That’s when one of the hikers blew her 
whistle to alert all their members they were leaving.  With my hearing aids 
turned all the way up, it almost pierced my ear drums. Needless to say, after 
that the bird was gone. 

We licked our wounds and headed further up the hill to the alternate location.  
But before long we were rewarded with ground level views, as the Kentucky was 
attracted by a termite hatch in a fallen log.

Here’s a link to videos of the Kentucky, a male and female cerulean on nest, 
and a female cerulean building her nest. 

https://flic.kr/s/aHskA1GEim

Just another reminder for those thinking of coming up on Sunday, that  Rt 9 
will be closed on May 15 until 1PM for to a bicycle race. 

Happy spring birding!

Peter

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown 5/9 more

[Dawn Hannay]

Though not as full of transient migrants as Central Park perhaps, there were 
plenty of birds along Doodletown Road this morning.
I tallied 15 species of warbler including the previously reported Kentucky, 
Hooded, Cerulean, Worm-eating, Nashville, Blue-winged, Black-throated Blue, 
Prairie, Yellow, Common Yellowthroat, Ovenbird, Black and White, Redstart, 
Yellow-rumped, La. Waterthrush. Also many Yellow-throated, Warbling, 
Blue-headed and Red-eyed Vireos. Scarlet Tanager, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, 
Indigo Bunting, nesting Gnatcatchers, Great-crested Flycatcher and Phoebe, 
Veery and Wood Thrush, and both Spotted and Solitary Sandpipers.
To clarify in response to a question, both Kentucky Warblers were singing. I 
heard two individuals, one near the bridge and one several hundred yards up the 
hill beyond. The bird near the bridge was showing nicely.

I would add a Black-billed Cuckoo seen well, about 2/3 the way up the trail, 
around 10:30.  Also an Eastern W. Peewee.

Doodletown was extremely active this morning.  Cerulean Warblers and Hooded 
Warblers in abundance and singing everywhere from just above Rt 9 all the way 
up.  A male Kentucky Warbler was singing loudly perched high in a tree - to get 
there stay to the right past the pond and stop just past the stream crossing 
under the road, he should be singing loudly.  
A good number of Worm-eating Warblers throughout singing; Pileated Woodpecker

Tanagers throughout, singing; and a Yellow-billed Cuckoo near the base.  Dipped 
on the Olive-sided Flycatcher unfortunately.

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown 5/10/15

[Dawn Hannay]

I spent a lovely day with Deborah Alperin and Janet Wooten in Doodletown.
Though there were not a lot of non-breeding migrants, we did see (or at
least hear) most of the birds we sought. Plenty of Hooded and Cerulean
Warblers, a singing Kentucky, which  we heard but did not see both along
the road past the reservoir and on Lemon Road,
Yellow-throated Vireo, lots of Yellow-billed Cuckoos and Indigo Buntings,
Baltimore Orioles and Scarlet Tanagers. Beautiful breeding plumaged
Tennessees, several Worm-eating Warblers being cooperative and Parula,
Blue-winged, Black-and whites, Yellow, and Redstarts. A single Veery and
several Wood Thrushes were the only thrushes.
There were very few flycatchers- only a E. Phoebe at the dam and an Eastern
Kingbird at Iona Island. Very few sparrows- singles only of Song,
White-throat and Chipping.
No Towhee or Ovenbird, both of which are normally common by now. Oddly, no
Chipmunks!
In the non-bird department, we saw a Falcate Orangetip near the bottom of
the road, and some herps, including a rattlesnake. Another party saw a
Black Bear cub, and presumably Mom was nearby, since it was Mother's Day!
Happy birding,
Dawn Hannay

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown and an uppie at CPP

[Larry Trachtenberg]

birds were also numerous at doodletown (rockland county just south of Bear Mtn 
bridge on Rte 9W) Many male ceruleans singing in the open in various parts of 
the park, not as many and not quite as open hooded warblers but great looks, a 
highlight was orange crowned on road before Herbert cemetery road, several blue 
winged, black throated blue (1), black throated green (3), Palm, chestnut sided 
(1) yellow (a few), black + white, yellow rumped (several), (others reported 
Nashville and worm eating), chipping sparrows, YT vireo - likely nesting pair, 
RT hummingbird, Balt. Oriole, perched broadwing giving great looks to 
photographers, wood thrush, and BG gnatcatchers too numerous to count.  I have 
heard about cowbird predation for years today we saw it in action as a cowbird 
clearly appeared to be laying an egg in gnatcatcher nest while being buzzed by 
the gnatcatcher What seemed really odd was we also saw gnatcatcher on nest less 
than two trees away. Is it possible they could dupe the cowbirds by building a 
second unused nest?

We had single lesser yellowlegs at Iona island where Sora was reportedly heard. 
Charlie Roberto called to say he flushed an upland sandpiper on the landfill at 
croton point park this afternoon.

Finally below is a link to an article on the use of 3 D printing to aid urban 
bird populations "printednest" which I thought might be of interest.

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown, Rockland Co., - Warblers

[Alan Wells]

Warblers are beginning to arrive at Doodletown, Bear Mountain State Park,
Rockland Co. On Wednesday (4/29/2015)  morning my wife and I found:

 

Yellow-rumped Warbler

Black-throated Green Warbler

Palm Warbler

Cerulean Warbler, FOS male singing half-heartedly, early arrival

Black-and-white Warbler

Louisiana Waterthrush

Hooded Warbler FOS, male singing

 

For the full Doodletown list:
http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S23129160

 

Later that day, at the Stony Point Battlefield State Historic Park, we
observed a group of approximately 40 Bonaparte's Gull loafing on the Hudson
River just off the point. Most were in breeding plumage. It is unusual to
see them this far upriver.

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown

[redknot]

Spent a wonderful day at Doodletown. While I did not see or hear the Kentucky 
Warbler and missed seeing a timber rattlesnake by about 3 minutes,  I saw four 
separate Hooded Warblers with two of them providing wonderful, close-up views 
while singing, and several singing male and female Cerulean Warblers. I had 
three highlights:

1.  Watching a black rat snake, known to be a talented climber, move up  the 
side of the 200 year old oak tree for which there is an interpretive sign 
alongside the trail. It was amazing to watch it work its way upward on the bark 
without the use of any limbs. I'm not sure how it did it but it looped its body 
against bark projections as it moved upward. After a few minutes it turned 
sideways and came back down and partially slithered into the base of a japanese 
barberry bush. I approached it and it began to make a rattling noise, 
presumably with its tail in the dead leaves.  This made me pause for a minute 
wondering if it was the rat snake (which is known to do this) or a timber 
rattlesnake. It tunred out to be the rat snake as I watched the tail vibrate 
when it did it again. 

2. On the way to the Herbert Cemetery a bird flying in the woods to the north 
of the trail caught my attention. It turned out to be a Yellow-billed Cuckoo 
and I was able to watch it land at the nest and feed two young that were 
eagerly begging. The other adult bird (I assumed the female) was next to the 
nest. I stayed there for nearly half an hour to watch the activity repeated two 
other times.  From the view of the chicks I guessed they were 5-6 days old. 
While difficult to describe a birder might be able to see the nest if you stand 
on the trail facing north looking over a large barberry bush that is about 15 
feet west of the large witch hazel growing along the trail leading to the 
cemetery. If you see a clump of downward pointing brown leaves in the lower 
canopy about 25 feet away look slightly to the left of the clump and about 
another 25 feet. The nest is on a slightly arched horizontal branch.  

3. Heading back down on the main trail I was able to watch for about 
half-a-minute a female Cerulean Warbler bathing in a tiny, I mean tiny, puddle 
of water in a little rivulet that flows under the main trail.  If you walk to 
the interpretive sign that denotes the "Gray Family" homestead walk up the 
trail about another 20 to 25 feet or so and you will see a rusted pipe culvert 
sticking out on your left. This culvert accommodates the water in the rivulet. 
She was bathing about three feet from the end of the culvert. I had first seen 
the male Ceulean fly out of the spot so I wouldn't be surprised if he uses it 
to bathe in as well.      

All in all a great day.

John Turner

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown Road

[Peter Reisfeld]

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 moving,  
not the ideal strategy for finding treetop ceruleans, or ventriloquistic 
hoodeds.  I spend a miserable hour or two without seeing anything notable, save 
a yellow throated vireo.  Hearing a Kentucky singing on Pleasant Valley Road 
was a highlight, but the bird seemed to be deep in the woods, and I was unable 
to locate it. 

I pondered cutting my losses and leaving, but as the morning wore on and 
birders and hikers filled the park, the insects surprisingly abated.  (Perhaps 
they'd found targets other than me).  And while there was less birdsong, I was 
finally able to spot some birds.  First it was a singing blue-winged warbler on 
Doodletown road. Then I headed back for a second try at the Kentucky, and this 
time I scored.  As I sat on a rock watching it sing on a bare twig, I excitedly 
announced my finding  to  passing group.  "I know, I can hear him", said the 
first  birder as he walked by without slowing, obviously less thrilled than me. 

After getting a few people on the bird, it flew, and I continued up the road 
finding a nice clearing where I sat down and had a snack.  I heard scarlet 
tanager, RB grosbeak, hooded warbler and indigo bunting singing, and was able 
to spot the first three.  As I munched, I got a quick glance at a grayish 
warbler-type bird with a wing bars  that was flitting around. I thought/hoped 
female cerulean, and then it appeared again, giving me a better look.  It was 
indeed a female cerulean, busy collecting nesting material.  I watched her 
bring it back to the nest, and then go out for several more forays. 

Well satisfied, I started heading out, but ran into Karlo and Allison Mirth, 
and I brought them back to see see the nest, giving me the additional pleasure 
of sharing.  I headed out again, and just before leaving the park  I heard a 
buzzy call up the steps at the very first historic house site near the 
beginning of the trail.  Low and behold, I was greeted by a singing male 
cerulean, not very high, and in good light.   Boy was I glad I didn't leave 
early. 

I uploaded a couple of short, slightly shaky, imperfectly exposed videos of the 
Kentucky and the Cerulean nest onto my Flicker site:

Happy late spring birding!

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown Kentucky warbler still there but in different spot

[Andrew Block]

 Had the Kentucky Warbler again today at Doodletown Rd., Bear Mtn. S.P. in the 
am.  It was not in the usual spot on the road to the nursery but just up the 
left fork up hill from the pond and June Cemetery.  After turning left onto the 
fork it was on the left directly across from the stone wall on the right with 
the sign and short dead tree to the right of the wall.  Also had two 
Yellow-billed Cuckoos and more Worm-eating Warblers.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Doodletown Road

[Robert Lewis]

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 least, no more than a 
quick look at the pool there).  Instead, go to Bing maps, where you find 
correctly labeled and placed Doodletown Road.  That's the trail you want to 
take from 9W.  Google maps does, however, correctly label Lemon Road.

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown Road

[Carney, Martin]

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 Tennessee, down low, bathing in a little stream.  I also encountered the
elusive (for me) Bay-breasted, which was a delight.  Conversations with
other birders revealed there were Kentucky, Worm-eating, Cape May, and
Black and white warblers, as well.  A Yellow-throated Vireo, Scarlet
Tanager and a bunch of Baltimore Orioles rounded out the scoring.  What a
wonderful hobby we have!

Happy Birding

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown Road, May 13

[Dawn Hannay]

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 well, including at least a dozen Tennessee 
Warblers, Canadas, Chestnut-sided and more. Another highlight was watching 4 
male Indigo Buntings chasing each other endlessly.
I definitely recommend a visit!

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown Road, Rockland County: excellent birding

[Robert Lewis]

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 away in perfect light for about thirty seconds.  Amazing.

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown - 6/15

[Austin Mohr]

Hello all, 

I birded Doodletown this AM from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM with some friends from 
Queens.  We found most of the key breeding species including a Black-billed 
Cuckoo, numerous Hooded Warblers, Cerulean Warblers (five singing males), one 
Kentucky Warbler, and at least one Worm-eating Warbler.
I was disappointed and mildly alarmed by the lack of some typical breeding 
birds (no Chestnut-sided Warbler, for example).  This seems to be the case at 
many locations this year. 

We also found a large Timber Rattlesnake just off the trail.  It made its 
presence known when we evidently got too close (unknowingly) and it unleashed 
the famous rattle. We quickly stepped back to a safe distance to observe for a 
couple minutes, then moved on.  I think it is clearly a good idea to remind 
everyone to be cautious where you step.

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown Sunday 6/2/13

[Carena Pooth]

11 Youth Members of the New York State Young Birders Club, ranging in age from 
10 to 18, took a 4-hour bird walk at Doodletown today. Many thanks to their 
parents for supporting the kids’ unusual (but wonderful) hobby, and to Gerhard 
Patsch of the Edgar A. Mearns Bird Club for leading a fabulous walk. The 
initial tally was 51 species of birds, including very visible Cerulean and 
Hooded Warblers (among other warbs) plus three non-avian critters that were 
lifers for many in attendance – MANY cicadas, a surprise luna moth that floated 
past us near the reservoir, and a timber rattlesnake, which was photogenically 
curled up among some rocks just a few feet from the trail as it eyed the 
excited crowd of young birders and the equally excited old(er) birders 
accompanying them. When we returned on our way back about 45 minutes later, the 
snake was in the trail and moved away as we approached, showing us its 
impressive rattle but not appearing to be particularly rattled by us. We were 
all careful not to get too close, though!
 
A number of the young birders took delight in listing, photographing and 
identifying dragonflies, moths, and butterflies as well as birds. A few of us 
headed up to Mine Road around noon and heard the song of a Golden-winged 
Warbler but did not get to see the bird. 
 
It was a great day that reminded me to get myself over to Doodletown more often.

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown, Iona Island & Mine Road

[syschiff]

Doodletown, Iona Island, Mine Road: 1 June

Assembling at the foot of Doodletown Rd, 11 Long Island birders, arriving 
within 5 minutes of the 7:30 AM time, enjoyed good birding and companionship as 
we explored this upstate (for us) area for breeding birds. Raptors included 
BLACK and TURKEY VULTURES, RED-SHOULDER and RED-TAIL HAWKS and a BALD EAGLE.

As to the smaller birds,YELLOW-THROATED, WARBLING and RED-EYED VIREOS were 
heard as we exited the car, a nice start for the day. We saw YELLOW-BILLED 
CUCKOO, EASTERN WOOD-PEWEE, GREAT-CRESTED FLYCATCHERS,.SCARLET TANAGER and 
INDIGO BUNTINGS.  Warblers were our prime target birds and included, LOUISIANA 
WATERTHRUSH, BLUE-WINGED, CERULEAN, HOODED,YELLOW  and AMERICAN REDSTART.

We stopped at Iona Island for lunch and found a CLIFF SWALLOW resting on a 
power line wire.

At Mine Road, we found our target birds of GOLDEN-WINGED, BLUE-WINGED and more 
CERULEAN WARBLERS. The Golden-winged was heard but not seen after extensive 
looking. At the end of Mine Road, a CLIFF SWALLOW was gathering mud from a 
puddle at a house by the lake.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Doodletown, Stony Point, Rockland County

[Larry Trachtenberg]

The earlier email as to location inadvertently mentioned that the Doodletown 
trail is off Rte 9A (it is off Rte 9W). I spent some time at Doodletown Sunday 
afternoon and had similar birds to Tate, (yes to blackpoll; no to Wilson's and 
we missed an Olive sided FC that had been seen earlier by others).  We did hear 
YB cuckoo; hooded warblers were the most abundant

At a late day stop at Mine Road we had two golden winged warblers clearly on 
territory, one male gave good looks and was singing away (glad, finally, not to 
hear blue winged).

To reach Mine Road:  At the Bear Mountain Bridge circle, instead of going 9W S 
(towards Doodletown) take 9W N and then take first left (Firefighters Memorial 
Drive), just before the end of that road take left on Mine Road.   The GWs were 
in the shrubbery i/f/o the pond on the right side of Mine Road.

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown/Mine Road/Sterling Forest State Park Birds (Rockland/Orange Counties)

[Ken Feustel]

We spent the morning birding Doodletown Road in Bear Mountain State  
Park. It rained on our way up from LI but cleared just as we arrived  
at Doodletown. Many of the local breeders were in, including Hooded  
and Cerulean Warblers and Louisiana Waterthrush. A few migrant  
warblers were present,  but in the minority of birds present.  
Highlights included a Kentucky Warbler on the Doodletown Trail, west  
of where Timp Brook passes under the trail. As you walk uphill west of  
Timp Brook,  look for a sign on the right indicating the former  
location of the Montvale Community Church and bear right. After 100  
yards or so a small brook passes under the trail. The warbler was seen  
and heard on both sides of the trail north of the brook. We had our  
first empids of the year at Doodletown, with a calling Least  
Flycatcher near where the Kentucky was found and a calling Acadian  
Flycatcher south of the main trail some 150 yards  in from Route 9.

A highlight of the trip was an excellent view of a female Cerulean  
Warbler feeding near the ground, one of the first times I ever recall  
looking down on a Cerulean Warbler. Photo on my flickr site.

We made a short visit to Sterling Forest State Park where Golden- 
winged Warbler was found at the end of Ironwood Road. Definitely a day  
where quality exceeded quantity.

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown; Iona Island; Mine Road Birds (Rockland & Orange Counties)

[ken feustel]

A beautiful day along the west side of the Hudson River at Bear Mountain State 
Park (BMSP) produced a number of good birds. On our way to Doodletown from the 
Palisades Parkway through BMSP we picked up singing Tennessee and Worm-eating 
Warblers. Upon arriving at Doodletown and commencing our hike up the path we 
were greeted by numerous Cerulean Warblers, the most we can recall seeing and 
hearing in the last few years. Beyond Timp Brook, as the trail climbs an 
Olive-sided Flycatcher was hawking insects from the top of a dead snag. We ran 
into a group of birders who alerted us to the presence of a Kentucky Warbler. 
We walked along the 1777 trail (north side of the main trail) and heard the 
Kentucky but could not see it. A little later we heard the same (or a second 
bird) singing on the south side of the trail. This bird was uncooperative until 
it came closer to the main trail and we realized it was calling from twenty 
feet up in a tree. it briefly posed for a few photos, one of which I posted at 
http://www.flickr.com/photos/kfeustel/

We saw a number of Blue-winged Warblers at Doodletown, in addition to observing 
a non-singing Brewster's Warbler. At Iona Island, we observed another 
Worm-eating Warbler, a few Orchard Orioles, and not much else. We headed to 
Mine Road where every year we marvel at the number of Indigo Buntings singing 
along the roadway. There was a report of a Golden-winged Warbler but all we 
found were more Blue-winged Warblers and a singing Brewster's (singing a 
Golden-winged song). On balance, there seemed to be more local breeders present 
than migrants. We did manage a few Canada Warblers, one Magnolia, two 
Black-throated Blues, two Black-throated Greens, and a few Parula Warblers.

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown & Mine Road

[David Klauber]

Spent this morning birding the above with Derek Rogers. There were not many 
migrants at Doodletown except a Blackburnian and 2 uncooperative Tennesees. 
Ceruleans were everywhere and seemed to outnumber the Hoodeds, and there were 2 
White-crowned Sparrows as well as several Worm-eating Warblers.At nearby Mine 
Road in Orange County there were some interesting hybrids. A Brewster's Warbler 
was near the small bridge just south of the small pond on the east, towards the 
southern end, singing an alternate song (not a Bee buzz variant). Halfway 
between there and the reservoir was a Blue Winged singing a Golden-winged song, 
alternating between bee-buzz buzz and bee buzz buzz buzz.Opposite the dam at 
the southern end of the reservoir, where unfortunately there were no Cliff 
Swallows, was an interesting mostly BlueWing. The black eye stripe was about 
triple the usual thickness with a small black flange or mark at the end of the 
stripe, and the lower wing bar had a yellow wash. A Pileated Woodpecker flew in 
and gave us good looks

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown- Orange-crowned and Cerulean Warblers

[fresha2411]

Steve Bauer reported a couple of interesting sightings from Rockland County to 
me.


Unless otherwise mentioned, all sightings are from today (April 28). 
First off, he observed an Orange-crowned Warbler feeding in a white oak (I 
don't have the exact location), which is a very good bird for the area, 
especially in the spring. This seems to jive with the much stronger than usual 
wave of OCWAs being seen in the region this spring.
He also had at least 5 Cerulean Warblers on territory, and he mentioned that he 
had one singing there on April 21 as well.
He reports that while numbers aren't great (as expected at this point in the 
season), there were still a couple each of Hooded Warbler, Louisiana 
Waterthrush, and Blue-winged Warbler, in addition to some of the more abundant 
local breeding species.


Good Birding

Re: D'town Rd., and using your landmarks, we first saw the BBWO about half way

just past the road, about 15' high, flying in a northerly direction (toward

I'm not sure of the sun's exact position at that moment, believe it would have

bird  to flush, but have no way of telling, due to it's position when we first

As the books that you listed 
will tell you, BBWO is extraordinarily rare down state, at any season. 
There is a note in the 1998 edition of Bull, edited by Levine, that 
"...individuals that do stray from their breeding area often find a 
locale and stay for weeks or even months...", which is why the bird 
should be looked for again to see whether it has found a place to stay. 







So, in order to relocate the bird, it would be helpful to improve on your 
locational description. It appears a bit hazy... on the east-west road, roughly 
between the two cemetery turn-offs? Was the bird flying northerly (toward 
Perkins Drive) or southerly (toward the valley)? How high in the air?  What 
time of day (where was the sun?). Was it flushed initially?

Yesterday, on Thursday the 2nd, Linda Sullivan and I left Wading River at 5 AM, 
arriving at D'town Rd. at 7:25 AM. We had a total of 29 "sure" species for the 
day, plus one big question mark at D'town Rd.. We found the birding, for the 
above areas, in the first week of June, to be very slow and fairly quiet- with 
stiff wind conditions certainly being one of the negative factors.
















We had both Vultures, with 2 Blacks seen at Mine Rd. We saw a Yellow-Billed 
Cuckoo, in addition to hearing a Pileated Woodpecker at D'town Rd. We had a 
total of 6 warblers: Blue Winged; Golden Winged (Mine Rd.); Yellow; A. 
Redstart; Common Yellowthroat and Hooded (D'town Rd.). We observed a lone, male 
Indigo Bunting, bathing in a stream along Mine Rd. Of the remaining  18 "sure" 
species, all qualified as common "breeders".




















We think (however improbable it seems to be) that #30 was a male Black-backed 
Woodpecker. This brief encounter happened about 9:45 AM, on the road  that 
"Tees" off the main road, that one takes in from Rt.9W. This intersection

Hi Bob, We haven't met (that I know of) but I do know your son Doug, a 
wonderful young man, an outstanding birder with the tools and motivation to 
become a real leader- you must be quite proud !








Re: D'town Rd., and using your landmarks, we first saw the BBWO about half way 
up the e/w rd. which connects the two cemetery turn- offs, it was in the air, 
just past the road, about 15' high, flying in a northerly direction (toward 
Perkins Dr.), ~ 9:45 AM (as stated below). The bird was well lit, and although 
I'm not sure of the sun's exact position at that moment, believe it would have 
been to our right (easterly). Our presence might have been the reason for the 
bird  to flush, but have no way of telling, due to it's position when we first 
became aware of it. Thank you for asking me to clarify my directions, and also 
for the important, additional info. Good luck looking for the bird, and please 
give my best to Doug. Cheers, Bob AdamoP.S. Can I share our 
communications/information with NYBirds-L ?

As the books that you listed 
will tell you, BBWO is extraordinarily rare down state, at any season. 
There is a note in the 1998 edition of Bull, edited by Levine, that 
"...individuals that do stray from their breeding area often find a 
locale and stay for weeks or even months...", which is why the bird 
should be looked for again to see whether it has found a place to stay. 







So, in order to relocate the bird, it would be helpful to improve on your 
locational description. It appears a bit hazy... on the east-west road, roughly 
between the two cemetery turn-offs? Was the bird flying northerly (toward 
Perkins Drive) or southerly (toward the valley)? How high in the air?  What 
time of day (where was the sun?). Was it flushed initially?

Yesterday, on Thursday the 2nd, Linda Sullivan and I left Wading River at 5 AM, 
arriving at D'town Rd. at 7:25 AM. We had a total of 29 "sure" species for the 
day, plus one big question mark at D'town Rd.. We found the birding, for the 
above areas, in the first week of June, to be very slow and fairly quiet- with 
stiff wind conditions certainly being one of the negative factors.
















We had both Vultures, with 2 Blacks seen at Mine Rd. We saw a Yellow-Billed 
Cuckoo, in addition to hearing a Pileated Woodpecker at D'town Rd. We had a 
total of 6 warblers: Blue Winged; Golden Winged (Mine Rd.); Yellow; A. 
Redstart; Common Yellowthroat and Hooded (D'town Rd.). We observed a lone, male 
Indigo Bunting, bathing in a stream along Mine Rd. Of the remaining  18 "sure" 
species, all qualified as common "breeders".




















We think (however improbable it seems to be) that #30 was a male Black-backed 
Woodpecker. This brief encounter happened about 9:45 AM, on the road  that 
"Tees" off the main road, that one takes in from Rt.9W. This intersection 
occurs just after passing the pond on your left, and if you make a left turn 
here, it will take you to the cemetery nearest the pond. After checking this 
area out, we returned to the afore-mentioned "T"and went straight, heading for 
the next road on the left, that would take us to the farthest cemetery. About 
half way up to this cemetery road, Linda and I were startled by a dark bird 
that had flown over the road about 15-20' in front of us, and was flying away 
from us rather quickly. Our next impression was that it looked and flew like a 
woodpecker. When we got  binoculars on the bird, all we could see was the upper 
half (tail, back, wings and crown)of the bird- we did not see any white outer 
tail feathers,  the bottom half of the bird, nor the rest of the head ( face,

the crown which was yellow. We took the size to be smaller than  N. Flicker and 
Lewis's W., (which I had seen recently near Rochester), but larger than 
Red-headed, Red-bellied and Hairy Woodpeckers. We agree with the description 
found in Sibley's Guide to Birds  that reads " appears large-headed, short- 
tailed". The only specie we know of that has similar size and general plumage 
is Yellow-headed Blackbird, but we discounted it, because of the bird's white 
primary coverts, tail/ body proportion, and flight style. A short while after 
it disappeared, we tried playing an "I- phone", to no avail. 
After reading about the BBWO in the following publications: The Atlas of 
Breeding Birds in N.Y.S., Robert F. Andrle and Janet R. Carroll, Editors; The 
Second Atlas of Breeding Birds in N.Y.S., Edited by Kevin J. McGowan and 
Kimberly Corwin; Birds of N.Y.S. by John Bull; Bull's Birds of N.Y.S.,  Edited 
by Emanuel Levine; Feild Guide to the Birds of N.A., National Geographic; The 
Sibley Guide to Birds by David Allen Sibley; A Natural  History of American 
Birds of  Eastern and Central N. America  by Edward Howe Forbush and John 
Bichard May, we believe we have the responsibility to document this sighting, 
even though we know of the questions, and/or the skepticism it will surely 
generate. We will be submitting this sighting to NYSOA's NYSARC for for it's 
consideration.
 My previous experience with Black-backed Woodpecker is limited to 5 sightings- 
the 1st 3 in the Connecticut Lakes area of New Hampshire, the 4th in the Lake 
Placid area of New York, with the last being in the Saranac Lake area of New 
York.Their respective dates are: 6/22/91; 6/26/92; 6/25/93; 9/12/97 and either, 
6/1 or 2/ 02. The '92 and '93 sightings were of both parents (possibly same 
pair), at the same tree and nest hole, feeding 2 young. I have seen many 
Yellow-headed Blackbirds in both the northwestern & southwestern areas of our 
country, as well as at a Centereach, L.I. feeder on 2/25/78.
Cheers, Bob

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown - Kentucky Warbler and more

[Jeffrey Ritter]

There was a Kentucky Warbler in Doodletown this morning. I found the bird a 
hundred yards or so up Pleasant Valley Rd. from its start at the T intersection 
with Doodletown Rd. I heard it singing as soon as I made the left turn onto 
Pleasant Valley Rd. and saw it on both sides of the road. Around noon, I heard 
it singing fairly deep into the brush on the east side of the road. 

Other highlights included three Pileated Woodpeckers at Herbert Cemetery. I was 
within a hundred feet of the three and had prolonged, unobstructed looks. They 
seemed oblivious to my presence. There was a male and female and, I believe, a 
juvenile. 

There was also at one and perhaps two Worm-eating Warblers on Lemon Rd. up the 
hill from the reservoir. I have had them many times further up on Pleasant 
Valley Rd., but not in that area.

If you are unfamiliar with the place names that I've mentioned there are now 
maps at various locations in Doodletown showing the locations of different 
roads, house foundations, etc.

With the regular Doodletown breeders as well, I had a great morning of birding.
