GSBAS Tuesday May 19, 2015 at Hempstead Lake State Park recap

Again we made the best of an overcast cloudy, misty day to do our birding in. Hempstead usually provides a good morning of birding, we had over thirty species for the morning. Right at the parking lot we started hearing birds, we picked up Blackpoll, Northern Parula, and American Redstart warblers right away. As we walked further down the path a Wood Thrush started singing, always a pleasant sound in the woods We saw Blue-grey Gnatcatchers and Robins sitting on nests. Warbling Vireos were singing and being seen everywhere.

After Hempstead Park we went to Jones beach West End where we saw an Eastern Kingbird sitting on the roadside. All in all another good morning of birding
