This morning brought Scarlet Tanager and Red-eyed Vireo to my "not very
birdy" yard in Ridge in central Suffolk County, and that was enough to get
me out to a couple of the local spots that have been pretty quiet up till
now. In Ridge, Yellow and Blue-winged Warblers, and House Wrens were
conspicuous and apparently on terrtiory, while five miles to the east, in
Calverton, Blue-wings and Praries were easy to find near the Grumman
propoerty and along the Peconic River. A single Black and White was another
FOS for me. Its likely that none of these except the Tanager and Vireo were
passing through- all the warblers I found today appear to have come straight
in to breeding territories.
