Went for a walk through Inwood Hill Park this morning. Weather was gray, but finally pleasant temperatures. Definitely the birdiest it has been so far this spring. Found 42 species and probably could have found a couple more if I had been able to stay out longer. Highlights included:
Peregrine Falcon - in a tree up the Clove eating a freshly caught pigeon Belted Kingfisher - male, first of season here for me Eastern Phoebe - several Brown Creeper - two Winter Wren - one, first of year Hermit thrush Ruby-crowned Kinglet - one Yellow-rumped Warbler - two Pine Warbler - three, my first of year here Palm Warbler - ten A more complete list will be on my Inwood Birder blog (link below) Joe DiCostanzo www.greatgullisland.org <http://www.greatgullisland.org/> www.inwoodbirder.blogspot.com -- 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/ --
