Last day of April report from Nadir:

NADIR SOUIRGI reports [via eBirdsNYC]  his sightings in the North Woods and Great Hill today at 9:44 a.m

White-eyed Vireo - 5/6/2010- photo by LLOYD SPITALNIK - www.lloydspitalnikphotos.com

I birded the North Woods, Great Hill, and Loch from about 6:50 to 8:30 this morning. The north end of the ridge trail (where the wood chips collide with the paved path) in the woods and the west half of the Loch produced my three highlights so far with one Prairie Warbler in the former and both a singing White-eyed Vireo and a Blue-winged Warbler in the latter. Hopefully the clouds will break up a bit and give some life to this day; here are the few other migrants I scraped together in spite of it.

North Woods:
Loon sp. (fly over)
Black-capped Chickadee
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Hermit Thrush
Blue-headed Vireo
Northern Parula
Yellow Warbler
Prairie Warbler
Palm Warbler
American Redstart
Black-and-white Warbler
Swamp Sparrow
Purple Finch (singing)
Baltimore Oriole

Great Hill: 
Ovenbird
Chipping Sparrow (very few, so I guess that answers that question, though I didn't expect them to take off so early and in a southerly direction)
Eastern Towhee

Loch:
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Hermit Thrush
White-eyed Vireo
Northern Parula
American Redstart
Blue-winged Warbler
Ovenbird
Northern Waterthrush
Swamp Sparrow
Eastern Towhee

Keep'em up!
