As part of St. John's Arboretum birding day on Saturday, May 18 and subsequent MOU tour to Albany sewage ponds and vicinity, I saw 130 species (121 at the two locations noted above). This included 20 species of warblers at St. John's campus (including Orange-crowned, Cape May, Pine, and Palm) , plus three more warbler species on Friday evening (including Blue-winged and Bay-breasted); 11 species of ducks; and 10 species of sparrows. Additional noteworthy sightings included 30+ Spotted Sandpiper, 2 Hudsonian Godwit, 3 Dunlin, 20++ Wilson's Phalarope, and 2 Red-necked Phalarope, all at Albany sewage ponds; and 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet, at least 1 Orchard Oriole, and 1 Pine Siskin at St. John's University.
