Hi Peter,
The day was peaceful, aAnd a bit hot, but with a nice breeze. The birds were....slow...but we had some good ones, including Mourning Warbler, Alder Flycatcher, Olive-sided Flycatcher, Least Flycatcher (see a theme here...) Traill's sp (probably Willow...) and more.
Thanks to Linda Ewing for the post on the Alder Flycatcher.

For the group I've included some photos of the Olive-sided and Eastern Wood-Pewee.
Notice both birds have mottled undertails, the OS with larger black centers.
The tail on the OS is very short and wide, with a short projection past the undertail coverts.
The wings in the EWP are very long, with long primary projection. They usually hit the undertail coverts. The tail is a bit longer and narrower than the OS.
The OS also has a very contrasting white throat, whereas the EWP's throat is more blended with the upper breast.
Sorry for the touch pictures, but both were distant, a bit of a workout for my "bridge" camera with just a handful of pixels available for both!

Finally, thanks very much to Rob Bate and Eleanor for co-leading, as Karen was not available.

SEE EVERYONE THIS AUGUST FOR FALL MIGRATION, IF NOT BEFORE!

Here's the list.  Let me know if I'm missing anything.

Hey Peter,
List attached.

Yes, it was great fun! And some very good birds! 

Chris was not able to make it so I led solo. We left Brooklyn at 5:30 am and returned home around 7 pm.
I had 8 people.4 others wrote to register but then passed when I told them the early start time.

We started at Liberty Marsh at 7 am. Much of the marsh has been drained for a restoration project and tall grasses have set in. About 10 minutes in Dan Smith spotted the head of a Sandhill Crane sticking out of the grasses and then a second. They had been reported the day before by a NYC Audubon trip as having babies although we did not manage to spot the babies. A few minutes later, two American Bitterns flew overhead. We also heard the Least Bittern and the Sora. And the Common Gallinules were common. Birds with young included the Sandhill Cranes, Wood Ducks, Canada Geese, and Pied-billed Grebes (per reports- we did not see the Grebe babies)

We were also checking out the marsh snakes (I don't know the species) that swim through the water and then coil themselves around the tops of the high marsh grasses to sunbathe. A Red-winged Blackbird was having none of it and Charles Tang got some photos of the Blackbird pushing the snake off the grass into the water.

We then went to Winding Waters Trail which runs along the Wallkill River and moves into a priority Breeding Bird Atlas Block. Just outside the priority block were two active Baltimore Oriole nests. Orchard Orioles were also numerous and were engaging in fighting and courtship in both blocks.

At our lunch stop we found a Common Grackle on its nest. See my photo attached. We visited the Wallkill NWR headquarters to see the Purple Martin nests.

On the way to our final stop I was driving with Dan and read aloud a sign saying "Homemade Pies" causing Dan to immediately swerve off course in the direction of the pies.

Our final stop was Knapp's View in Chester, NY, a lovely local preserve of hillside grassland that is just swarming with breeding Bobolink. We saw around 100 and that's an undercount. We did also catch eight Meadowlark furtively flying low over the grass. One was carrying nesting material for a confirmatory atlas breeding code.

We capped the day with a delicious, gooey, berry crumble pie.

Thanks to Tom Preston for providing the intel on all the stops we made after Liberty Marsh

Please add some of Charles's great photos to your post and see some of mine attached

Cheers
Adelia

Hi Peter,
It was a beautiful day today, but maybe a harbinger that Spring Migration is slowing down.
That being said, we had some great birds and bird-experiences. 

Highlights included Bay-breasted Warblers flying very low near a small hatchout on Lookout, along with low Chestnut-sided, Magnolia, and Blackpoll. The previously ubiquitous Northern Parula have been replaced in part by equally ubiquitous Blackpolls, both males and females.  We had a reasonably cooperative Canada, and a fairly cooperative Gray-cheeked Thrush. At the end we ran into a Least Flycatcher in the vale on the way out. 

Here's the list. Karen, let us know if I've missed anything.

Best regards,
Tom

Hi Peter we had a full house today and some good birds, but not as much activity as last week.  16 sp of warblers and some nice looks at some SUPER CUTE cygnets and a still-downy MODO.  Even Tom is going to smile when he sees the cygnet pics! Plus a real downy house cleaning its nest on the peninsula.

Hey Peter,

Here is the Big Sit checklist. At least 20 joined at various points through the morning. And it was a great morning. Blue skies, not too warm. Tina and Dennis each brought donuts. What more could you ask for? The highlights for me were a broad-winged flyover, a pair of female purple finches, and a quick-moving worm-eating warbler. Overall excellent variety for a day in which the winds were from the north overnight.

Hi Peter,
Well, it was another beautiful day again in the park. We had a full group of 40 with about half new birders within the last year. It was, once again, super birdy, especially in the north end of the park. We had 84 species including 20 species of warblers. 
Highlights: a couple of very cooperative, low Cape Mays, Black-throated Greens, Black-throated Blues and Northern Parulas, several Veery, a Nashville that came down to a puddle in the horse trail under the boulder bridge, a Canada near the Esdale Bridge, several Green Heron, a relaxed Solitary Sandpiper thanks to a tip from Kathy T, many Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and more.

Here's the list. A few pictures to follow.

we had a good walk yesterday.  75 species and we ended earlier than expected due to the Western Grebe at DO.  i think we could have hit 80 or 85 if we kept going.
