Point of view

Habitat is where it's at...


 

 What a Louisiana Waterthrush sees...


 What a Pine Warbler sees...




 What a Field Sparrow sees...




I visited many different habitats today, observing a total of 56 species in 6 hours. In order, stopped at Five Rivers, Albany Pine Bush- Madison Ave. Pinelands, Albany Pine Bush- Karner Barrens East, Ann Lee Pond, Mohawk-Hudson Bike-Hike Trail, and Mohawk River Lock 7. Some highlights included:

  • Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
  • Winter Wren
  • Ruby-crowned Kinglet
  • Field Sparrow
  • Sharp-shinned Hawk
  • Hermit Thrush
  • Eastern Towhee
  • Chipping Sparrow
  • Pied-billed Grebe
  • Greater Scaup
  • Horned Grebe
  • Northern Rough-winged Swallow 
  • Swamp Sparrow


A look at the weather forecast over the next week suggests that migration opportunities look hit-and-miss, so there may be limited opportunities for new arrivals. Monday and Tuesday might bring the next wave. Stay tuned.
