“Bronx" Brendan Keogh and I walked through the Turtle Cove area of Pelham Bay Park yesterday. Although there was nothing too exciting, it seems more species are finally filtering in. It was nice to see several Yellow Warblers and some Killdeer chicks, newly hatched.
5 Yellowlegs (most likely Greater but I didn’t bring my scope.) 1 Spotted Sandpiper 2 Eastern Kingbird 6 Yellow Warbler 4 Common Yellowthroat 1 Field Sparrow 6 White-throated Sparrows 5 Chipping Sparrows 5 Killdeer (two looked newly hatched, one pair nesting in the Turtle Cove driving range parking lot. These birds seem to nest in the worst locations. Every year we find them nesting in the most heavily trafficked areas of the park.) 2 Swamp Sparrows 4 Song Sparrows 12 Savannah Sparrows 1 Red-tailed Hawk 1 Osprey (carrying breakfast) 3 Great Egret 2 Snowy Egret 1 Northern Mockingbird 3 Double-crested Cormorants X Red-winged Blackbirds (too many to count.) 3 Red-bellied Woodpecker 1 Hairy Woodpecker 3 Ring-billed Gull 2 Hering Gull 4 American Goldfinch 2 Mallard 3 Northern Flicker Jack Rothman CityIslandBirds.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/ --
