Had a lovely morning at Wave Hill, leading a Mother's Day bird walk. Highlights were 2 very cooperative pairs of Baltimore Orioles, hopping about in cherry trees at eye-level, 2 male Orchard Orioles, and about ten species of warbler (many heard but not seen, all singing): Northern ParulaYellow WarblerChestnut-sided Warbler Magnolia WarblerBlack-throated Blue WarblerBlack-throated Green WarblerPrairie WarblerBlackpoll WarblerAmerican RedstartCommon Yellowthroat Other highlights included Scarlet Tanager, Fish Crows with twigs in their beaks (thinking of nesting nearby, or just playing?), Turkey Vulture, Peregrine Falcon & Merlin flyovers, Warbling & Blue-headed Vireos, and a Robin feeding her nestlings, perfect for Mother's Day. Enjoy the day, Gabriel WillowNYC Audubon --
