Saw Mill River Audubon's early morning field trip today to this Westchester County property (via the Wood Street trail entrance) offered some very enjoyable birding with the usual spring favorites (Scarlet Tanager, Baltimore Oriole, Indigo Bunting, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, abundance of Yellow Warbler, Common Yellowthroat and Blue-winged Warbler). Also enjoyed were views of singing Field Sparrows and Prairie Warblers in open fields surrounding the gazebo.
Of note were two different singing Hooded Warblers, one very near the Wood Street trail entrance and a second along on the White Trail in southern-most part of the property. This latter area, with a south facing slope and abundance of grape vine tangles also produced great looks at a Kentucky Warbler and a Canada Warbler. Worm-eating Warbler and Ovenbird were also quite vocal along the wooded slope in this part of the property and also along the SW portion of the yellow trail.
