While the Yellow-Throated Warbler was a no-show this morning (at least until around 1 pm), Hempstead Lake State Park did yield a few good birds.
Highlights included 1 Black Throated Green Warbler and 1 Blue Headed Vireo among some of the more numerous: Yellow Rumped Warbler Black and White Warbler Palm Warbler Pine Warbler Blue Gray Gnatcatcher Both Kinglets N Rough Winged Swallow Barn Swallow Tree Swallow Brown Thrasher Something else of interest was 1 Blue Jay with no tail feathers to speak of. It seemed to be doing quite well but I found it rather odd. full report: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S13831744 Good Spring Birding, Taylor John Sturm -- 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/ --
