Yesterday (Tuesday, Feb. 16) Gil Derouen and I birded some spots in Sullivan
County. Some highlights follow:
Paddle Creek:
Mallard 4
Gadwall 4
Wigeon 2
Redhead 4
Ring-necked Duck 1
Weir Dam and Osceola Island
Bufflehead 26
Lesser Scaup 4
Kingfisher 1
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 1
Winter Wren 1
Hermit Thrush 1
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 3
Golden-crowned Kinglet 3
Yellow-rumped Warbler 6
White-throated Sparrow 8
Musick's Campground
Canada Goose 1
Pied-billed Grebe 3
Lots of birds around the feeders including Towhees, Chipping Sparrows and
White-crowned Sparrow
Strong, cold wind out by the lake
Middlebrook Lake (all numbers are rough estimates--snow was flying, making it
hard to count birds that were across the lake, and the gulls were steadily
flying to and from the lake.)
Canada Goose 26
Mallard 30
Black Duck 2
Coot 20
Ring-billed Gull ~800
Herring Gull 2
Birding turned out better than expected, considering the weather. Most of the
birds at Osceola Island were in the brush and trees along the path that splits
off to the left at the first foot bridge by the restrooms.
