We spent a few hours birding at Hempstead Lake State Park this morning. Highlights of the trip included our first of season Ruby- crowned Kinglet and Black & White Warbler. Present in good numbers were Yellow-rumped Warblers (41), Palm Warblers (20), and Golden- crowned Kinglets (18).In contrast, Southard's Pond in southwestern Suffolk County was very quiet, with no warblers observed and only a few Golden-crowned Kinglets seen.
Good Birding to all, Ken & Sue Feustel -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
