[nysbirds-l] Bashakill etc.
Linear Park (D Canal), Gumaer Falls Road, Blue Chip Farm, Bashakill Wildlife Management Area and Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge; 7 June. Joe Giunta, Sam Jannazzo, Pat Jones, Joe Viglietta and I (Sy Schiff) traveled to continue our search of breeding birds not found on Long Island. Starting a Linear Park (McDonald Road entrance), we found both CUCKOOS, saw and heard singing ALDER FLYCATCHERS and a GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER among other birds. Driving up Gumaer Falls Road, we heard and saw YELLOW-THROATED, BLUE-WINGED AND RED-EYED VIREOS and a number of warblers including BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER. At Bashakill (from the boat ramp), we watched an almost fledged BALD EAGLE and an adult in the nest while we ate lunch. We found our VIRGINIA RAIL in the same spot as the last 2 years. Missed the American Bittern At Blue Chip Farms, we found UPLAND SANDPIPER and EASTERN BLUEBIRD. At the Grasslands, in the afternoon, we found AMERICAN KESTREL, EASTERN MEADOWLARKS and BOBOLINKS. In total we saw 72 species including 8 Tyrant Flycatchers, all that breed south of the Adirondacks; 4 Vireos; 3 Swallows, 12 Warblers and a representative mix of everything else.
