King of the hill...Savannah Sparrow at The Crossings, Colonie
Northern Mockingbird at The Crossings, Colonie
There has been a steady stream of new arrivals over the weekend into this morning. Louisiana Waterthrush was finally reported, and the first Yellow-rumped Warbler as well. Palm Warbler numbers are increasing.
A few Great Egrets have been spotted, in their fancy breeding plumage.
A Blue-headed Vireo was observed from Vischer Ferry NHP, and single reports of Vesper Sparrow, Brown Thrasher and Greater Yellowlegs were new.
Marsh Wrens are singing at Black Creek Marsh in Voorheesville, and I heard at least one Virginia Rail doing its "grunting" call.
An American Bittern was observed at Five Rivers EEC in Delmar this morning, flying out of the Fox Marsh.
The weather forecast calls for above normal temperatures for the rest of the week, with showers Tuesday afternoon and evening, and again on Friday evening into Saturday. Migration conditions should be favorable each night, so expect numbers and diversity of species to increase.
