Rare on Long Island in spring, a Clay-colored Sparrow was an unexpected find at
Captree SP, Suffolk, LI this morning.
Initially, it fed along the grassy margins of the northern edge of the main

hedge occupied by the

I arrived late at Prospect Park this morning (7.40am) and also found waves of
passerines flying north overhead in the mist . Many more were still in the park
with the highlight being a male Cerulean Warbler near the Maryland Monument
(east side of Breeze Hill) found by Anne Murray with
Hi Everyone,
I stopped by Bryant Park with NYC birder Mike during our lunch break for a
quick look by the shed...was quickly joined by another birder (I don't name
names unless I hear otherwise) It has been slower than last year but hopefully
picking up now...saw Hermit Thrush, Ovenbirds,
Hi everyone,
I just had a female golden-winged warbler in my backyard for about an hour.
She was very active working the catkins on a red oak tree. I thought I
would be lucky to see one this spring, never thinking one would show up at
more doorstep in Boerum Hill. I'll post pictures later today.
Stopped by on my lunch break this afternoon. There was a swarm of warblers
at the north west corner of the south pond.
I saw dozens of Black and Whites, several chestnut sided and a few oven
birds. Also many Magnolia, Northern Parula, Black Throated Blue and
Blackpolls and of course the Yellow

The NYC Audubon Peak Day migration walk recorded 89 species.Some members
of the group even saw more. We visited both Alley Pond Park in Queens and
Jamaica Bay. Some highlights were:
Warblers (15 species) Parula, Yellow, Chestnut-sided, Magnolia, BT Blue,
Yel-rump, BT
I did a couple of hours in Forest Park this evening after work, much of it in
the company of Danny Melore, and we had a pretty good showing despite the
drizzlymist and the difficult light.
Highlights included a flyover Common Nighthawk, three Worm-eating Warblers (two
seen, one photographed),
I have been home for three days and have been rewarded with two great days of
birding at local spot, Croton Point in Westchester County. The radar was again
alive with migrants last night. Two strong rain storms came through the area.

I spent several mid-morning hours at Forest Park and went back for an
evening hour, probably right after Corey left. There was little activity at

the weather got wetter.

I haven't seen this posted but it seems that a Willow Ptarmigan was found and
videos taken in St Johnsbury Vermont on May 9th. Kind of a long way from the NY
bird, so is this an invasion?
