This morning between 10:30 and 11:30 I conducted a site inspection at a defunct nursery in Manorville north of Sunrise Highway (just west of the "eastport" sod farm). The nursery is approximately 25 acres in size and had a nice collection of birds including the following: Yellow Warblers (at least 10 - some with nesting material) Grey Catbirds Norther Mockingbirds 5 Adult Male Orchard Orioles Chipping Sparrows Song Sparrows House Finches Red-winged Blackbirds
Photos of some of the birds can be seen here: http://birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com/2012/05/yellow-warbler-this-morning-i-had-to.html -- - Luke Ormand, East Patchogue www.birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com www.wildlongisland.blogspot.com -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
