A four day weekend of birding for Scott Baldinger, Arlene Borko, Lance Verderame and I here in Sullivan County really paid off in terms of migration and good birds. Highlights of the weekend included 16 or more species of warbler, including BAY-BREASTED, TENNESSEE and Palm Warblers. The big highlights of the 85 species recorded were the STILT SANDPIPER on Friday and FORSTER'S TERN on Sunday! We had several PHILADELPHIA VIREOS each of the four days and in several locations. Two OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHERS at the Bashakill and a YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER (LV) made for some really interesting days. Renee Davis and I started the hawk watch season off with nice diversity and great looks at a Peregrine Falcon. You can go to the HMANA web page to see results. John Haas
