Today at Hempstead Lake State Park a Cerulean Warbler was discovered by Bob Anderson feeding low in the multiflora roses and cherry trees. Good looks were obtained, but after the other birders had their fill the warbler disappeared but was relocated and landed on the ground foraging in the leaf liter before returning to a favorite perch six inches above the ground offering spectacular views of its blue back. After a while the bird moved on. It was seen on the left hand fork of the dirt path heading to the south pond. Other warblers and migrants included: Orchard and Baltimore Orioles. Yellow-rumped, Black and white, Prairie, Blue-winged, Nashville, Blackpoll, Yellow,Northern Parula and American Redstart. A Blackburnian warbler was seen but not by me. Vireos: Warbling, Blue-headed and White-eyed. Robert A. Proniewych
