Thursday, 22 April 2010 Onteora Lake, Town of Kingston Henry Halama and I walked a very short section of the elaborate trail system at Onteora Lake this afternoon in search of early season butterflies. Birding highlights include at least four singing Black-and-white Warblers, numerous (9+) Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, several singing Blue-headed Vireos, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Louisiana Waterthrush, Barn Swallows flying overhead, singing Field and Swamp Sparrows, Brown Creeper, Pileated Woodpecker, and Red-shouldered Hawks.
Two Broad-winged Hawks were vocalizing over Stoll Road in West Saugerties on my return route back to Saugerties. Steve M. Chorvas Saugerties, NY [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
