Doodletown and Mine Road., 27 May Joe Giunta, Sam Jannazzo, Pat Jones, Joe Viglietta and I (Sy Schiff) traveled primarily to find breeding birds not found on Long Island. We successfully found all our target species and then some.
The 13 warblers included Blue-winged, Cerulean, Worm-eating, Louisiana Waterthrush and Hooded Warblers. Our tally included another 40 odd breeders demonstrating both the diversity and the richness of the habitat. Several Yellow-throated Vireos were present, while Cerulean and Hooded Warblers were represented by more than a half dozen individuals each. Blue-winged, Golden-winged and a Brewster's Warbler were found at Mine Road. Of interest, to me, was that Black Vultures out numbered Turkey Vultures by a large margin.
