Subject: Sat


Well we aren't supposed to say there weren't a lot of birds so many must have been disguised as empty branches yesterday.

A group of 13 birders mined what birds were in the park after what seemed like a large movement out the previous evening on a warm humid morning.

Highlights were a bright philly V found on butterfly meadow by Isabel Conte, cape may, a pair of humming birds and a pair of rose breasted grosbeaks.

We had a chance to hone our fall warbler Id skills on the 11 species found along the way. We also were able to work on nothern water thrush chip notes as we found at least 4 possibly 5 vocal birds yesterday.

Best,

D

Hi Peter,

We had another great walk, without the predicted rain. It was very birdy in many spots around the park, some with good diversity.

Highlights were 2 Yellow-billed Cuckoos, Olive-sided Flycatcher, 19 species of war blers including Canada, Wilson's, Blackburnian, Bay-breasted, Cape May, Blackpoll, Pine...along with several hummingbirds.

Here's the list. I'll try and send a few photos later.

Best regards,

Tom

Hey all,

Perfect weather and lots of new arrivals made for a fun day. We had 14 warbler species on duck island alone. 19 total.

Lots of grosbeak heard along with a few scarlet tanagers. Lots of flycatchers.

A fun day with the whole group working together getting each other on 65 species of birds and honing our ears. Good start to the season.

Looking forward to next week,

Dennis

Highlights were

Connecticut Warbler (found by Adelia and eventually seen by everyone, albeit mostly in brief bits and pieces)

Yellow-billed Cuckoo

1 Tennessee, a few Cape Mays, Black-throated Blue and Green, Magnolia, Northern Parula; a total of 16 species of warblers.

Here's the list. I'll send a couple of photos later if I have a chance.

Hi Peter and Rob,

we had a great group this morning!  we looked for, but didn't find, the Connecticut, but we did see a lot of warblers (13 sp),  going around the lake via 3-sisters.   We had an interesting sparrow on top of LeFrak that i thought might be a clay-colored, but we couldn't relocated and i went back after the walk and was unable to find any sparrows.

Lenny kept the list for us today (thanks Lenny!).  Phil(s) or Sheila, if we missed anything please let me know.

best,

Bobbi

Hi Peter,

Thursday was a beautiful day, although a bit un-birdy...especially compared with last week. That may have changed today based on some of the reports I'm seeing....

Highlights were lots of American Redstarts, lots of Carolina Wren (!), several Northern Waterthrush and eventually 9 species of warblers. So not really that unbirdy after all... 

Here's the list. Let me know if you need more info.

Best regards,

Tom
