Comments on: Birds over Jerze http://www.woodcreeper.com/2008/04/18/birds-over-jerze-4/ We're tracking bird migration over New Jersey using Doppler radar and a community of diehard birdwatchers Mon, 14 Nov 2011 19:58:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Norma Holmes http://www.woodcreeper.com/2008/04/18/birds-over-jerze-4/comment-page-1/#comment-30554 Norma Holmes Tue, 22 Apr 2008 01:32:08 +0000 http://www.woodcreeper.com/?p=733#comment-30554 On Saturday, April 19th, four of us spent a little over an hour at Garret, at the South end of Barbour's Pond from approx. 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. There were many, many, palm warblers and ruby-crowned kinglets, great displays of ruby-red crests from time to time, some very brightly colored male yellow-rumps in breeding plumage, a creeper. a winter wren - all seen along the stream behind the restrooms. A black and white warbler and bg gnatcatcher was reported as being seen an hour before we arrived by a reputable birder. I had a good view of a solitary sandpiper in flight across the South end of the Pond - wings in a stiff sort of flutter beneath the horozontal and another view of it flying toward the North end of the Pond. The new locals- phoebes, red-wings, cowbirds were around. Will send a check for membership. I can't get the paypal to work.

There was a moderate push of yellow rumps, and some of the breeding birds were abundant and vocal (towhees and - unfortunately - cowbirds), but other breeders, such as catbirds and thrashers, seemed to be present only in very small numbers.
