After breakfast at our favorite diner the Windsor Cafe, we drove to our usual follow-up in the cemetery. Eventually we reached the Dellwater. And here the Easter basket was great. Two very good warblers moved around : Hooded on the slope by the Boocock crypt and Blue winged in the flowered tree behind the beehives. I was only lucky with Hioded; I almost got Bluewinged,straining to find it only to see it fluttered above me and fly to a neighboring tree where I lost it.😐
A Great crested flycatcher appeared at Dellwater as well.More goodies at Greenwood: 2 Purple Martins over the Red headed woodpecker site, on Hemlock and Battle Ave, later a pair between sylvan and valley water airspace;the redheaded woodpecker is gorgeous now thanks to mike silber getting me on it.
Meanwhile Prospects basket didn't do too bad.Solitary sand pipers at Ambergill pool ( south of Esdale bridge) and the Vale Cashmere pool;Great crested flycatcher in the Midwood;Yellow throated vireo in southwest Lullwater;brown thrashers in the Sparrow bowl; and orchard oriole high up in the vale cashmere. There was a report (elman) of yellow billed cuckoo location not noted.
A side note: Ridgewood Reservoir recorded a Hooded Warbler as well and Redhead duck Don't forget this spot that we want to keep well publicized.
