[nysbirds-l] Manitou Marsh Report, Putnam County, NY
Echoing the reports ~50 miles south in NYC and LI, Putnam County, NY in the Lower Hudson Valley was very "birdy" this morning. I walked approximately 2.5 miles in Manitou Marsh in Garrison, NY. In the very short stretch of road from the Manitou MTA - Metro North Station to the Manitou Marsh gate, there were approximately (3) dozen individual sparrow species and their allies: 2 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 Field Sparrow 11 Song Sparrow 14 White-throated Sparrow 8 Swamp Sparrow 4 Dark-eyed Junco Notable lack of Savannah Sparrow (0) Yellow-rumped Warblers (14) were ubiquitous, but diversity was non-existent, as somewhat expected given the mid-Oct date and location. The only other warbler sp. was a Blackpoll. Good numbers and diversity among woodpeckers: Pileated (1), Downy (5), Red-bellied (4), Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (4), N. Flicker (1)... A Blue-headed Vireo came in close, (surprisingly) singing in a halfhearted manner... Other birds included a brilliant adult male Purple Finch and a smattering of kinglets... http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S20187090 Cheers, Ryan Garrison, NY www.bassbirding.com Twitter @BassBirder Instagram #BassBirding -- 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/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/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/ --
