Eric Miller, Gary Straus and I travelled to Staten Island this morning to look for the Summer Tanager and other birds reported in recent days.
We were weren't disappointed. The Summer Tanager and Red-headed Woodpecker were both present again at Clove Lakes Park. We found the Summer Tanager near the stream just north of the white stone bridge, the second bridge north of Martling Ave. Other birds present in the same area were 3-4 Baltimore Orioles, a Pine Warbler, an Orange-crowned Warbler, a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, both Red-breasted and White-breasted Nutchatches and a Brown Creeper. The Red-headed Woodpecker was in the trees between a clearing and the stream just east of Brookside Ave. near the intersection with Kingsley Ave. >From Clove Lakes we then proceeded to a private house near Wagner College >where we observed the Rufous Hummingbird that has been present since late >October.
