[nysbirds-l] late weekend report (ward pound ridge/central park/doodletown)

2011-05-16 Thread Brien Hindman
Apologies for the tardiness of the following report. This weekend was a busy one, and I could only notch out time for birding here and there. The weekend started out at Ward Pound Ridge. Ever since I first visited it in the fall, I wanted to bird it. My chosen target species were worm eating

Torrential rains today did not deter the hearty birders in the area. Many were out early (not me) and tipped me off to a reasonable fallout on the Nature Trail and Stop Sign Trail at the Bashakill. I personally only had a dozen species of warbler, highlighted by a nice Tennessee Warbler.

Sullivan County held it annual "Break-a-hundred Day" weekend from 5/13 through 5/15. Considering that the weather was not the best, some rain each day and heavy rain on Sunday, it was a great success. 157 species were seen in total by the seven teams that scoured the county. Highlights

There's at least potential for almost any bird to turn up at this time, particularly in the weather scenario that's playing out along the eastern seaboard and well inland. Among batches and bunches of interesting sightings was a photographed Cassin's Sparrow in Massachusetts, one report
