Saw Mill River Audubon's regular 2nd Mon at Rockefeller State Park Preserve in Westchester County this morning enjoyed some actual waves of migrants especially just through the main parking area. We spent first 1/2 hr of walk just there watching birds moving through.
Conservative estimate of 40 Parula Warbler moving all along just the trails we walked. Seemed to be everywhere! Lots of other movement including * five species of vireos (yellow-throated - singing, blue-headed, warbling-also singing, two different Philadelphia well-seen, as well as several red-eyed) * and ten warbler species overall seen: Black-and-white Warbler Tennessee Warbler Common Yellowthroat American Redstart Cape May Warbler Northern Parula Black-throated Blue Warbler Palm Warbler Yellow-rumped Warbler Black-throated Green Warbler Great morning out! Felt like a fall morning with lower temps and winds. eBird list here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/email?subID=S25029995 Anne Swaim Saw Mill River Audubon www.sawmillriveraudubon.org -- 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/ --
