We spent an hour birding at Southard's Pond this morning hoping for a repeat of
yesterday's movement. Unfortunately, bird numbers and variety seemed reduced,
with our only new birds being Baltimore Oriole (2) and Prairie Warbler and a
big influx of Catbirds.

The usual extended birding group gathered at Hempstead this morning. This is by
far the best central Nassau Co birding local, so it draws the birders. A

arrived). Otherwise,

Hi All,
For those of you who missed seeing the Prothonotary Warbler at the New York
Botanical Garden (Bronx), I've posted a beautiful photo that was taken by
Deepali and Saurabh Mehandru on April 17th. Deepalli and Saurabh do not have

This morning, from 6:15 to 7:00, I was able to relocate most of the birds
reported by Ken Feustel, but the (main target) Hooded Warbler was not in
evidence. I may try again at lunch time. I was able to add a FOS Warbling
Vireo, behind the tennis courts.
