Two hours spent birding Marcy Woods (north end of the Southard's Pond-Belmont State Park greenbelt, Suffolk County) were quite productive, despite not finding either of the Summer Tanagers reported from the area yesterday. There were very few transient migrants present in general, but those found were exceptional-- 2 MOURNING WARBLERS, at least 6 Canada Warblers, and a YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER of which I only got a few glimpses (distinctly yellow wash on the underparts), but which kindly sang 4-5 times, clinching the ID.
