On a brief landfill walk this morning I saw two grasshopper sparrows (one
singing, the other nicely perched up), saw several bobolinks - heard more. No
meadowlark(s) and do not know if they are present this spring. There are (at

The previously reported Ruff at Heckscher State Park was not relocated this

Photographers definitely can be incredibly inconsiderate and chase away rare

Today I made my annual pilgimmage to Doodletown Road. By the time I had

yellow-throated vireos, indigo buntings, a yellow billed cuckoo, a singing
Louisiana waterthrush, a blue winged warbler, a worm-eating warbler,
