Doodletown Harriman State Park May 20

Leader Tom Stephenson

Hi Doodletowners,

Sat was a really great day: good group, wonderful birds, cooperative weather. We had 85 species including 21 species of warblers...not bad at all. Peter, doing the trip early, when there are still migrants coming through and the birds are building their territories and nests is definitely the way to go.

Highlights were a female Cerulean with nesting materials, many other Ceruleans including a very drab first-year male, great looks at a singing Golden-winged, several cuckoos including Black-billed and lots more.

The only downside was the trip back into the city took about 10 hours, but we did learn a lot of new Spanish words from Rafael (thanks to him and Chang for their help during the trip as well.)
Finally thanks the Marisa for doing all of the tough work organizing everyone.

Looking forward to the next one. Here are a few quick photos (I'm on the road giving workshop in CM so don't have time to go through them all or make a link) and the list below.
Please let us all know if I've forgotten anything.

Best regards,
Tom

Hi Peter,

Well, it was very rainy yesterday. But the very, very small group persisted and we had a rather unique list for the day, including one of the rarest birds seen in the park in a while. Here it is..
No pix as it was really raining the whole time.
Thanks very much to Ed for co-leading in the rain and guiding us to the Swainson's spot.

Best regards,
Tom

Hi Peter,

we had a bout 8 people on the walk today.  it was not dripping with birds, but there was always something to look at.  We looked for Ed's Alder and Karen O'Hearn heard it and a few people were able to pick it out (me not being one of them :-()

We also had nice looks at a (non-vocalizing) yellow-bellied flycatcher that Isabel found on teh Hammerhead.  I'm attaching 2 of Janet's photos.

TONS of Blackpolls.
