Comments on: Heavy migration spanning three flyways! http://www.woodcreeper.com/2008/08/31/heavy-migration-spanning-three-flyways/ 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: David Yeany II http://www.woodcreeper.com/2008/08/31/heavy-migration-spanning-three-flyways/comment-page-1/#comment-32718 David Yeany II Mon, 01 Sep 2008 09:37:54 +0000 http://www.woodcreeper.com/?p=797#comment-32718 Yesterday morning J.B. Churchill and I set out to find some mixed warbler flocks in Green Ridge State Forest in Allegany Co., MD. By my records we tallied 46 species, including 12 species of warblers: Northern Parula 1 Chestnut-sided Warbler 6 Magnolia Warbler 5 Black-throated Blue Warbler 1 Blackburnian Warbler 3 Pine Warbler 6 Prairie Warbler 1 Bay-breasted Warbler 1 Black-and-white Warbler 4 Ovenbird 1 Common Yellowthroat 1 Hooded Warbler 8 I'd say your predictions for central PA carried down into Western, MD. Keep up the good work! Yesterday morning J.B. Churchill and I set out to find some mixed warbler flocks in Green Ridge State Forest in Allegany Co., MD.

I don't think I saw anything that might be definitely labeled a migrant ... except a very out-of-the-ordinary whimbrel at Pine Island Golf Course in Pine Island, NY. Thanks to the birder at Liberty Loop for passing that tip along! Walkill NRA was more or less dead today!

I didn't get an early start, but birded Cumberland County for passerines. There might have been a few new birds around, but I think most of what I saw was in flocks from birds that arrived a few days ago. I believe. Nothing out of the ordinary for me. REDSTARTS were my most numerous species today. I had 1 TENNESSEE WARBLER also, plus the usual around. Well, I can’t say that I had much this morning!
