Arriving at Hempstead Lake in late morning seemed to have been the right time,
as there was a moderate break from the rain. It was surprisingly birdy around

In just over an hour at Hempstead Lake State park, by the northern end north of
the picnic area, there was a nice variety of warblers, including Cape May,
Bay-breasted (2 found by Pat Palladino), Blackburnian, Nashville(2), BT Green,
Blackpoll, Black&White & Parula. Seen by others in the park we
I birded HLSP briefly today. I had at least 5 Northern Waterthrushes
(could not locate any Louisiana), 2 solitary sandpipers, and at least 2
spotted sandpipers. Also saw a few American Redstarts. The mosquitoes
were really bad!

Nice variety of warblers so far this morning at Hempstead: Prairie, Magnolia,
Black Throated Green, two Northern Waterthrushes the usual suspects, and still
counting. Looks like some nice birding here this morning

Late afternoon (2:00pm) walk at Hempstead Lake State Park today produced a
first of season Blue gray gnatcatcher for me near the South pond. Above the
South Pond was a swirling flock of Tree Swallows, as well as 6 Barn
Swallows and 2 Northern Roughed-winged Swallows.

2 Swallows ( Tree, Cliff)
plus Hermit Thrush, many Br. Creepers, Golden-crowned Kinglets, Phoebes,
Ospreys,
We spent a few hours birding at Hempstead Lake State Park this
morning. Highlights of the trip included our first of season Ruby-
crowned Kinglet and Black & White Warbler. Present in good numbers
were Yellow-rumped Warblers (41), Palm Warblers (20), and Golden-
crowned Kinglets (18).In contr
Warm weather and southerly winds finally arrived and with it a nice collection
of early spring migrants. Pine and Palm Warblers were in attendance, along with
good numbers of Golden-crowned Kinglets. The previous swallow influx over the
South Pond seems to have disappeared, with a small number
During the SSAS thursday morning bird survey at Hempstead Lake State
Park, by McDonald pond we had a fly over Osprey, 5 Tree Swallows and 1
bright Pine Warbler.

Despite the chilly weather, there was a nice assortment of early spring
migrants and winter resident species at Hempstead Lake State Park (HLSP) this
morning. Upon arriving at the HLSP parking lot, I heard a Common Raven calling,
and discovered a pair in the roadway east of the parking lot sampl
We stopped by HLSP this morning in hopes of seeing a Mourning Warbler (there
had been one reported at HLSP on Saturday from the South Pond area) with no
luck. However, we did observe a calling Acadian Flycatcher along the stream
opposite the restrooms. Eastern Wood Pewees were present in fair nu
We spent four hours birding Hempstead Lake State Park this morning, finding
nineteen species of warblers. Our best find was a Bay-breasted Warbler and a
late Yellow-throated Vireo. We were unable to relocate the Prothonotary Warbler
found Thursday morning at the stream outlet to the South Pond.

I drove to Hempstead Lake State Park (HLSP) this morning by way of the barrier

It was a disappointing morning of birding at most locales we visited this
morning. Robert Moses State Park was very quiet, as was WestEnd/Jones Beach. We
stopped at Hempstead Lake State Park in mid-morning but no one we talked to had

Cool weather did not seem to inhibit the number of birds at HLSP this morning,

location yesterday. Highlights were four species of swallow on South Pond,

Birding was slow at HLSP early this morning, where there were more birders than
birds. Other than Golden-crowned Kinglets there were few migrants. However,
later in the morning the birding picked up (after we left). At West End there

At HLSP this morning the birding highlights were an Orange-crowned Warbler in
company with a singing Ruby-crowned Kinglet, both observed in the woods south
of the main parking area. The date suggests that the birds may have
successfully overwintered in our area or points immediately south. Other
