Weed Walk Diary – June 2010
June 9 – Chenango Valley St Park
Didn’t see the Cerulean Warblers here but still got lots of nice birds and the Bald Eagles on their nest, C.Mergansers, B.Kingfisher, Red-Bellied/YB Sapsuckers, Yellow-Thr./RE Vireos, Veery/Hermit Thrushes, Ovenbirds and B.Orioles. Dorchester had DC Cormorants and Semi-Palmated Plovers while Boland had Chimney Swifts, Wood Ducks & Marsh Wrens. Fields of Boblinks on Knapp Rd. gave us a total of 47sp on a rainy day.
June 16 – Ely Park & roading
Started out at Ely with only an Ovenbird for our efforts, then the drizzle started so we ended the morning surfing the roads and seeing the usual locals, nothing unexpected.

We found birding good on Page Brook, Hogsback & North Rds.with Least Flycatcher, E.Phoebe, Gr.Crested Flycatcher, E.Kingbird, Bobolinks, Red-Br.Nuthatch, Wht-Thr.Sparrow, Purple Finches etc. Back in Broome we added Wood Ducks, N.Bob White, Green Heron, C.Moorhen, Brown Thrasher plus others on Joyner & Bull Creek Rds.for a tally of 51sp.
June 30 – Parsons Road
Here were Wood Ducks, Willow Flycatcher, E.Phoebes, Rough-Winged Swallows, House Wren, Cedar Waxwings, Yellow/Chestnut-Sided Warblers, Am.Redstart, RB Grosbeak & B.Orioles – then on Mix Rd. a Cooper’s Hawk, E.Kingbirds, Savannah/Field/Grasshopper Sparrows & many Bobolinks while at the nearby Agway there were still several Cliff Swallows.
