An eclectic group of congenial and social people, brought together by their love of birds and birding, walked the trails beginning at 8 AM, in Doodletown. Our sunny day turned cloudy and threatening at first but when the sun came out the birds began to sing. Paul, Will, Bob, Mindy, Gerry, Carole, Fritz, Brendan and I found lots of great species and we all had a good time. Red-eyed Vireo (several calling and seen) Warbling Vireo Black Vulture Turkey Vulture Baltimore Oriole (several) Scarlet Tanager Blue-winged Warbler Cerulean Warbler (many calling, some seen) American Redstart (several) Yellow Warbler Hooded Warbler (many calling, some seen) Black and White Warbler Blackpoll Warbler Kentucky Warbler Cedar Waxwing (two large flocks) Great-crested Flycatcher Ruby-throated Hummingbird (few) Chimney Swift Tree Swallow Northern Rough-winged Swallow Indigo Bunting (several) Common Raven Eastern Wood-Pee Wee Spotted Sandpiper Eastern Kingbird Eastern Phoebe Yellow-billed Cuckoo Bald Eagle (immature, flyover) Gray Catbird Tufted Titmouse Blue Jay Brown-headed Cowbird Red-winged Blackbird Northern Cardinal
