Bass report
Peter,
A pre-dawn start didn't
yield many birds today, most likely due to the stiff breeze from the SW.
Nonetheless, a few quality birds were around, you just had to work for them:
Cape May Warbler -
Lookout Hill, near Arlene's Pines, drab bird/fall type
Tennessee Warbler - Dirt
path between Meadow and Summit, Lookout Hill, foraging low
(2) Northern Waterthrush
- Boathouse, Fallkill
Worm-eating Warbler -
Vale
Near the
"beach" at the boathouse, there is a stand of small trees in front of
a water fountain. One of them has large pink buds on it. Despite the lack of
activity today, this one small tree hosted 3 Red-eyed Vireos, 1 American
Redstart, and had a N. Waterthrush underneath it. I'm curious what type of
planting it is and if others have had a similar experience with it attracting
birds.
Cheers,
Ryan
