I am pleased to report that in Sullivan County, Ulster County and at least parts of Orange County not only is there no decline, but in some cases increases. Chestnut-sided Warbler is actually abundant at Wolf Brook and increased at the Bashakill. Cerulean Warbler (Bashakill) and Hooded Warbler are both showing increases at those locations. Ovenbirds are abundant everywhere. Grosbeaks, Orioles and Tanagers seem to be in good numbers as well. Cuckoos are the best in a couple of years. American Redstart does seem to be down at Wolf Brook, but is everywhere at the Bashakill. Scott Baldinger reports similar numbers on his Ulster County weekly bird walks. John Haas --
