6/3/12 - Sterling Forest S.P., Sterling Forest, NY Time: 1pm to 2:30pm Observers: Andrew Block, Scott Perry Had both Mississippi Kites giving a great display in the previously reported spot. They mated several times, flew around catching dragonflies sometimes coming very close to the viewers in the lot, and also calling, mostly by the female. Also had a Pine Warbler and Hooded Warbler next to the upper lot. At the Ironwood Rd. power cut we had 3 Golden-winged Warblers, American Redstart, Yellow Warbler, Black-and-white Warbler, Blue-winged Warbler, Prairie Warbler, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Barred Owl, and Scarlet Tanager. Of interesting note was one of the male Golden-wings had two plasic bands on its legs, a blue one on the left and a pink on the right. Didn't notice any on the other two. Andrew
