Doodletown Road - 16th May

A damp morning spent walking the trails at Doodletown. Cerulean Warblers were the most obvious bird early on, singing from nearly every tree, but very hard to see. I eventually got on to one pair, right little beauties. Bird of the day were the three separate Kentucky Warblers, much more visible than I'd been expecting. Other good warblers included a single singing Hooded Warbler, many American Redstarts, 2 Blackpoll Warblers, and singles of Worm-eating, Blue-winged, Black-and-white, Black-throated Green and Canada Warblers.

Four Yellow-throated Vireos were a welcome sight, I've missed them several times in Central park. A fabulous Yellow-billed Cuckoo showed very well. Other migrants included a Wood Thrush, two Rose-breasted Grosbeak, several Indigo Buntings, Red-eyed and Warbling Vireos, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Baltimore Orioles and a Great Crested Flycatcher.
