Weed Walk Diary – September 2006
9/6 – Went to Brick Pond and were rewarded with 9 Great Egrets! Green Heron and GB Herons were just too plentiful to count. Also had a Solitary Sandpiper. Mirror Lake gave us a nice view of a Prairie Warbler. At Campville bridge we had great looks at a soaring Broadwing Hawk. After Marie and Grace left us we got a P.Falcon, Phila.Vireo and an Endicott Policeman.
9/13 – Rainy day in Broome. What a change. At Boland we had 2 short stubby birds fly over, not giving us a very good look but we think they may have been Va. Rails. On Carigan Road we came upon a small flock of Warblers and Vireo’s including Black-throated Green, Magnolia and Blue-headed, plus 3 Am.Kestrels.
9/20 – A very spring-looking Prairie Warbler posed for us willingly at Aqua-Terra. Two Accipiters flew over quickly, one of which may have been a Goshawk. Also had 2 warblers in their confusing fall plumage, one probably a Nashville. Ruby Crowned Kinglet was also seen as well as a flock of E.Bluebirds.
9/27 – At Upper Lisle we saw Pied-billed Grebes, DC Cormorants, G.Yellowlegs, YB Sapsucker, Hairy/Pileated Woodpeckers, N.Flickers and E.Phoebes. A trip along Carigan Rd. rewarded us with Am.Kestrel, E.Meadowlarks and a male RN Pheasant w/2 females.
