I spent the morning at Susquehanna State Park. The birds were numerous and
active. Highlights:
At the Lapidum boat launch area:
Red Eyed Vireo- 1
Catbird- 3
Along the road between the mill and the footbridge over Deer Creek:
Rose breasted Grosbeak-1 (on a tree by the water as seen from the parking
area)
N. Parula-3
Louisiana Waterthrush-1
Black Throated Blue Warbler-1
Cerulean Warbler-1 (seen, probably a couple more heard)
Worm Eating warbler- several heard up on the wooded slope, none seen
Yellow Throated Warbler-1
From the footbridge along the trail into the woods:
Osprey diving (successfully) for fish-1
Prothonotary Warbler-1 singing its little heart out
Black and White Warbler-2
Northern Rough Winged Swallow-1
In and around the picnic area, including the trail up the hill from the far
corner of the lot (I think it is the blue trail but I am not sure):
Canada Goose with little baby geese- 10 adults, 8 babies
Blue Gray Gnatcatcher-1
Redstart-1
Orchard Oriole-1
Indigo Bunting-1
Ruby Throated Hummingbird-1, in the same photo frame as the Indigo Bunting.
but the focus wasn't quite on to get them both sharp
Blue Grosbeak- 1- on a stake in the open field near the rest room building.
I got some photos and will have them posted on my web site in a day or so.
