[nysbirds-l] Sands Point Preserve- impressive migration
The Sands Point Preserve (Nassau County) was extremely active this morning from 8:30AM thru noon, reminiscent of the good ole days in the late 70s, and worth the $10 dollar fleecing today. Highlights were 17 species of warblers (especially noteworthy was CAPE MAY WARBLER, notoriously difficult for me at this locale over the past few decades), 2 PHILADELPHIA VIREOS, and OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER. Warbler numbers were truly impressive. Sunlit trees by the pond were swarming and from the cliff trail you could see warblers coming in off Long Island Sound from points north. Selected numbers appear below: Ruby-throated Hummingbird Eastern Phoebe Eastern Wood Pewee empidonax/Least (5) Olive-sided Flycatcher Swainson’s Thrush Red-eyed Vireo (20) Philadelphia Vireo (2) Black-and-White Warbler (2) Blue-winged Warbler (2) Tennessee Warbler (12) Nashville Warbler Northern Parula (45) Magnolia Warbler (15) Cape May Warbler Black-throated Blue Warbler (6) Black-throated Green Warbler (25) Blackburnian Warbler (5) Chestnut-sided Warbler (9) Bay-breasted Warbler (2) Pine Warbler Ovenbird Common Yellowthroat (2) Canada Warbler American Redstart (18) Scarlet Tanager (6) Rose-breasted Grosbeak Indigo Bunting Cheers, Glenn Quinn Hauppauge, NY -- 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/ --
