[nysbirds-l] Yellow-throated Warbler - Connetquot River S.P.
Thanks to the eyes and ears of Annie McIntyre, I enjoyed great views of a YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER near the Hatchery at Connetquot. I arrived on site at 11:45 and the bird was singing loudly, as Annie described. During my observation the bird seemed to favor the oaks and evergreens that are located on either side of the restroom facility. The bird was primarily gleaning for insects but at times would hawk aerial prey. It would target small pockets of insects and hover within their cloud for several seconds, snapping what it could catch before returning to it's favored tree locations. The bird has been on site since Thursday, 4/19. Perhaps this is the same visitor from last year? A singing YELLOW WARBLER caught my attention on my return trip. It was just west of the large pond in the hedgerow. This is the same individual noted by Ken Thompson and his group.
