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

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

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!
