A bright, stunning Louisiana Waterthrush turned up at Valley Stream State Park this afternoon at about 12:30PM. Picked up by its deep call note around the stream on the Corona side toward the south end of the park, then visually about 20 minutes later. A classic bird, as bright as they get with bright (almost Red) legs. I was hoping to hear its song, but no luck on that today. - unlike the Northern that was singing periodically from the interior stream.
7 species of warbler were in today in low numbers, including multiple Black and White and Yellow Palm. Singles on Parula and Yellow (Singing on territory). only about 12-15 Myrtle. A bit of a surprise was a singing Purple Finch moving north. A group of about 35 Glossy Ibis were seen early moving east.
