Went to Forest Park this morning. The highlight was finding my second
red-headed woodpecker of the week (refound the Kissena Park one yesterday). It
was located on the blue trail which is a pebbly trail near the park entrance
with the stand of pine trees, just off park lane south. The bird wa

Hi Bert,
by which you mean the Shawangunk range of the mid-Hudson valley region
of NY state??? (and just possibly in Ulster County NY?) Not all
readers know the regional abbreviation that is favored by so many who
are familiar with those mountains.
good birding,

A walk along the Nassau-Suffolk Greenbelt Trail in the Massapequa Preserve this
morning, between Merrick Road and Sunrise Highway, produced little in the way
of birds. Half-a dozen Yellow-rumped warblers were the sole representatives of
that group. Also had a few Blue-gray gnatcatchers, Black-ca

I just spotted a Hooded Warbler in Green-Wood Cemetery. It was on the small
wooded rise on the south side of the Sylvan Water. There was a fair amount of
passerines activity at that location.
Good birding,

The prothonotary warbler continues at Fuch's Pond in Suffolk County. It was
there until I left at 12:30.

Very confusing area and directions. Latitude and longitude or GPS points would
be helpful.

Louisiana Waterthrush is a great bird for Suffolk County! I believe Pat Lindsay
found this bird early this morning, but missed the PROW, which didn't perk up
until around 10:00. I saw the latter in the early afternoon, but missed the

I don't want to complain, but the listserve rules require using bird names
rather than 4-letter banding codes. I understand this rule isn't
scrupulously followed, but if you're so inclined pls. get the codes right.
Prairie warbler is PRAW, not PAWR, and Louisiana Waterthrush is LOWA, not
LOWT.

I would still prefer English, so I readily understand what people are
