It actually felt like migration

Yesterday was my day to do point counts for a friend's migration project. It actually felt like spring migration since I heard multiple warblers in the parking lot at Losen Slote Creek Park in Little Ferry. In total 15 species of Warblers were seen with Redstarts being the predominant species.Most warblers were seen and heard in multiples with the exception of Wilson's and Canada, my only solos. Eastern Wood Pewee, Least and Willow Flycatcher were also seen and heard.

Migration rolls along

Well it seems that the radar maps showed birds moving actually held true to form the last few days.

67 Species of birds were seen in NJ Meadowlands yesterday. Warblers and Vireos as well as other neo-tropic migrants were spotted across the county. Hooded, Magnolia, Blue-winged, Black-throated Blue Warblers were spotted over the last few days. Least Sandpiper numbers increased in Meadowlands as well as the first of season Semipalmated Plovers. Glossy Ibis have been around DeKorte park and other locations in Meadowlands. Little Blue Heron was spotted yesterday in The Meadowlands. Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and Scarlet Tanagers are starting to arrive with birds seen at McFaul Environmental Center, Halifax Rd. in Mahwah and Lorrimer Sanctuary. A Virginia Rail was viewed at The Celery Farm as well as numerous warblers including Blue-winged Warbler. Migration should continue through the weekend of the World Series of Birding or Big Day and be very productive. Little Blue photo is from the NJ Meadowlands.
