I returned last night, this a.m. at 7:30 and this evening to the area of
the Ganatchio Trail where the new extension heads south toward
Centennial Pond. I have not been able to re-locate the Cape May.
Last evening: male and female Magnolia Warbler, a few Warbling Vireos,
and Chestnut-sided Warbler. A single Great Egret flew over.
This morning between 7:00 and 7:45 at the end of the parking lot where
Florence intersects Riverside Drive East in the tangle and underbrush
near the green trash bin, another birder G. Peltier and I sighted
Black-throated Green Warbler (singing and in view), Blackburnian
Warbler, probable female Hooded Warbler, male and female Magnolia Warbler.
This evening between 6:00 and 8:30, Sylvain Cote and I found male and
female Bay-breasted Warbler, possible female Connecticut Warbler,
Philadelphia and Warbling Vireos, and Chestnut-sided Warbler.
The resident Bald Eagle is seen in this area almost every evening as it
returns from the lake.
The locals are also busy: Yellow Warbler, Red-winged Blackbirds, Grey
Catbirds and Baltimore Orioles can all be seen engaging in mating and
nesting activities.
The area can be accessed via Riverside Drive East, park in the Sand
Point Beach parking lot.
Good birding,
Kelly Morrissey, Windsor
