Decided this morning to check out a few sites on the S. Mountain (Kings) f=
or late arrivals. Travelling W. on North River Road, the first site was fro=
m McGee Lake to the power line which was extremely quiet with only 2 Ovenbi=
rds singing!! (In the past this has been a choice area with Least and Oliv=
e-sided Flycatchers, a diversity of warblers (including Black-throated Blu=
e), Winter Wren, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, etc). The next stop was the Granite =
Woods Road, a former woods road, which has been named since a cottage subdi=
vision has been underway for a few years. Again very quiet except for the =
ever-present Ovenbirds and a few warblers at one point. I tried an abandone=
d woods road where I did hear a Swainson's Thrush, a FOY for me so the best=
bird for the morning. Later in the afternoon a Broad-winged Hawk was soari=
ng in our area (Coldbrook) but was quickly discovered by a group of crows w=
hich harassed the hawk so much that it left the area heading west.
I expect such quiet birding mornings will become the norm as bird populatio=
ns continue to decline, a depressing thought.
Last evening I heard my first Veery calling along the RR bed in Coldbrook (=
KIngs).
