It's May, the month of the "Bib Day", and John C. had one today! He and I spent most of morning, first at the Rocky Point D/E/C property, and then, en-route home, a fast stop at The Nature Conservancy Property in Wading River (formally the old Kemp property). John is a neighbor, a friend, and a novice birder, who was able to use some of the presents he asked for this past Christmas- his new binoculars and field guide were really "broken in", as we investigated all the sounds and movements that surrounded us. John was quite thrilled as he saw, and/or heard the following species for the first time: Red-shouldered Hawk; Red-bellied Woodpecker; Red-eyed Vireo; E. Bluebird (female entering nest-box); Yellow Warbler; Yellow-rumped W.; Black & White W.; Ovenbird; Scarlet Tanager; E. Towhee; Baltimore Oriole and Orchard O. 2 birds that John did not get on were my FOS Brown Thrasher & Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Cheers, Bob --
