Between 7:45am and 2:15pm I birded three locations in SW Suffolk county: Sans Souci Lakes greenbelt, the nearby Islip Grange, and Bayard Cutting Arboretum. Managed to scrape together a day-list of 16 warbler species, including 3 BLACKBURNIANS (1 at each location) and 1 BAY-BREASTED (Sans Souci). The latter was attracted to a water feature (running water heard, but unseen behind a fence) in a residential backyard adjacent to the greenbelt. Other warblers seen or heard throughout the day included:
Blue-winged Nashville N. Parula Yellow Black-throated Blue Yellow-rumped Black-throated Green Pine Blackpoll Black & White Redstart Ovenbird N. Waterthrush Common Yellowthroat Out this way (Suffolk Co.), earlier-migrating species such as Yellow-rumped, Parula (especially ubiquitous), Nashville, and B&W are still making up the bulk of the total warblers detected. Other notable species included: Warbling Vireo House Wren Swainson's Thrush Cedar Waxwing (first I've seen in months‹feeding on holly berries at BCA) Scarlet Tanager Swamp Sparrow -- 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/[email protected]/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/ --
