Weed Walk Diary – August 2011
Aug 03–Murphy’s and Oakley Corners
The three best birds today were a Great Egret at Murphy’s and Pileated Woodpecker and Prairie Warbler on Cornell Hollow. Also, Hermit Thrush, 3 other Warblers, and Indigo Bunting.
Aug 10–Broome Roads
Starting at the Airport we got a Snow Goose, Least Sandpiper and Lesser Yellowlegs. Wood Duck, Kestrel, Sapsucker, Indigo, Bobolink and Kingbird rounded out the highlight birds.
Aug 17–Vestal Parks
Mittendorf Park gave us a small group of birds like House Wrens and Nashville Warbler. Old Man softball game was going on at Moore Park, but we watched the Great Egret and Snow Goose. Least Sandpiper, Waxwing, Flicker and Cardinal were some of the highlights.
Aug 24–Sky Lake
Always a nice walk around the lake. While hiking we got Wood Thrush. Kingbird and several Warbler. The best look was a Black-throated Blue. We hit our resident P. Falcon for the 160th bird of the year. The day ended with a nice Bald Eagle over NYSEG.
Aug.–31–Dorchester
We hit Dorchester, but alas, it was very quiet. Kale St. gave us Scarlet Tanager and a bright B. Oriole. Counted two dozen Kestrels. A hummer and Kingbird helped make the day.
