Not a big fallout of birds at Susquehanna, but my husband Jim and I had some 
good birds nevertheless.  We birded the picnic area, walked the road, Rock 
Run area and the ridge, the latter being the most productive.  We had a total 
of 14 warblers.  The most notable birds:

NORTHERN PARULA
YELLOW WARBLER
YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER
BLACK THROATED GREEN WARBLER
YELLOW THROATED WARBLER
BLACKPOLL WARBLER
BLACK AND WHITE WARBLER
AMERICAN REDSTART
WORM EATING WARBLER
OVENBIRD
LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH
KENTUCKY WARBLER
COMMON YELLOWTHROAT
YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT
EASTERN KINGBIRD 
EASTERN WOOD PEWEE
SUMMER TANAGER 
BALTIMORE ORIOLE -including the one Jim and I affectionately call the Tijuana 
Oriole-he sounds like he's singing the cuckoo-ratcha song-maybe he wintered
in Mexico!
ORCHARD ORIOLE 
 ACADIAN FLYCATCHER
GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER
YELLOW THROATED VIREO
WHITE EYED VIREO 
WARBLING VIREO
RED EYED VIREO
INDIGO BUNTING
GREEN HERON
RED SHOULDERED HAWK-being harrassed by a MOCKINGBIRD-kept on dive 
bombing the poor hawks tail until he got tired of it and flew off!
SOLITARY SANDPIPER
