Weed Walk Diary – June 2006
June 7 – PARSONS ROAD – A stop at Boland Pond gave us Va.Rail, C.Moorhen, Marsh Wren, E.Kingbird and Swamp Sparrows. Choice birds on Parsons included Chimney Swifts, N.Flickers, E.Wood Pewee, Alder Flycatcher, Yellow-throated Vireo, E.Bluebird, Chestnut-sided Warbler and Baltimore Orioles. We added Hairy and Pileated Woodpeckers at Chenango Bridge Park.
June 14 – WATERMAN NATURE CENTER – On the way we stopped at the Binghamton Country club to see the Purple Martins nesting there. Before our walk at Waterman was cut short by rain, we had Cooper’s Hawk, Blue-winged Warbler and Ovenbirds. A Cliff Swallow was spotted at the Campville Bridge.
June 21 – WOLFE PARK – Mature woods plus brushy habitat combined to give us Blue-headed/Red-eyed Vireos, Veery, Hermit/Wood Thrushes, Prairie Warbler, Scarlet Tanagers, Rose-Br.Grosbeak and the highlight – a killer look at a very obliging Yellow-billed Cuckoo. At Boland Pond we saw the active Bank Swallow colony.
June 28 – Cancelled due to heavy rain and flooding conditions.
