Wednesday May 13, Another movement of birds into the Park. New migrants, especially warblers have been located in a variety of places in the Park. At the tip, an *American Pipit* was flying about and actually landed in a tree for a while. Also noted at the Tip, *Northern Parula, Orange-crowned and Wilson’s Warblers*. Along the West Beach, north of the Tip, a couple of *Clay-colored Sparrows*were noted, as well as a *Yellow-breasted Chat*. The place to be for warbler hunting was Tilden Woods. *Kentucky, Cerulean, Bay-breasted, Hooded* and a host of others were reported. Also noted were Scarlet Tanager, Indigo Bunting, and many orioles, among other species. I have heard few reports from the Woodland Nature trail but know that at least one *Canada Warbler* was seen there. Down the Post Woods Seasonal Trail a pair of *Red-headed Woodpeckers* were seen. Just in, a *Mourning Warbler* was located at Sleepy Hollow. At least one *Summer Tanager* was located this morning at the Sanctuary Picnic area (park at Northwest Beach) Good Birding, Hike Leaders Pete, Karl, Dave, Justin, Todd and Marianne FESTIVAL OF BIRDS MAY 2 THROUGH MAY 18, 2009 -- Janice Rogers, G.M.
