[nysbirds-l] Target bird missed, but the consolation prizes not "chopped liver" !

With limited time today, I decided to try for the Worm-eating Warbler that has been reported at least twice (with a fair number of days in between) from Wildwood S.P. in Wading River. While missing it, I did find a Winter Wren, which at this time of year, is probably the harder species to get.

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan-Bronx, NYC 5/10

Can't resist passing along what for me, best sums up this recent influx of many migrants in a rush of song, color, & activity - a birder in the region posted "7 Warblers in my Pajamas"... and I had to go with the rather reasonable image of a yard bright with songbirds, not so long after

I dropped off my daughter this morning for a lacrosse scrimmage and, instead of staying to watch the scintillating action that is 10th-grade girls’ lacrosse , I spent a few hours in Blydenburgh County Park (southern end off route 454). I’ve found this park to be normally quiet during spring

Today had to be the best birding day at NYBG! Not more than five minutes and 50 feet into the walk we had a low flying adult bald eagle and then warblers! Most of the warblers listed below were in one oak tree. The Chestnut sided were taking a bath with Goldfinch - quite a colorful sight. On

[nysbirds-l] Inwood Hill Park, New York Co., May 10

A great day's birding in Inwood Hill Park, highlighted of course, by Nadir Souirgi's Grasshopper Sparrow first thing this morning. The sparrow was still on the soccer field at the north end of the park in the late afternoon when I went back into the park and found Anders and Danny looking at it.

This was a banner day for all of us on the City Island Birds walk in Pelham Bay Park. Twelve people showed on a gray overcast and wet morning. By the end of the walk the sun shone through and we had seen more than 50 species in four hours. This was one of the birdiest days I’ve encountered

[nysbirds-l] Forest Park this morning

A couple of hours birding with Carrie Laben this morning netted us 21 species of warbler highlighted by a singing Bay-breasted, a Hooded, two Worm-eatings, and a Wilson's. Also around was a Summer Tanager, which poses nicely with one of the many Scarlet Tanagers in the park. Others reported

I located the Grasshopper Sparrow in a patch of dead grass seeded area on the soccer/football field. High in an oak East of the Ridge I and Tom spotted a Olive-sided Flycatcher (FOY). Anders Peltomaa ‘Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.' – Martin Luther

There is a Grasshopper Sparrow associating with a small flock of Savannah Sparrows on the northwest edge of the IHP Soccer Field. This is the field next to the inlet and not the fields that run alongside the Hudson River. I left Joe DiCostanzo and James Knox with it. Good Luck, Nadir Souirgi
