TRANSITIONS

As most of you have probably noticed,the new editorial team has been slowerthan we’d like in getting issues out.We’re hoping to speed up the processand get back on schedule soon. Thankyou all for your patience while thishappens. I’ve found taking over this jobto be quite a learning experience, oftenin ways I never imagined. We’re also discussing potential changesin the format of various parts of thepublication. Any comments on whatyou like or don’t like and what you’dlike to see changed, added or left outwill be welcomed. One change I have made is to includeexcerpts from some of the moreinteresting sighting reports wereceived. I plan to continue to do thisin future issues, as space allows.

INTRODUCTION

Mike Fialkovich is the seasonaleditor for the second quarter. Mike hasbeen the Pennsylvania Birds countycompiler for Fayette County since 1994and Allegheny County since 1995. Hehas been leading trips to variouswestern Pennsylvania locations for theAudubon Society of WesternPennsylvania for the past twelve yearsand has presented numerous slidelectures on various aspects of naturalhistory. He is on the SteeringCommittee for the newly formed ThreeRivers Birding Club based inPittsburgh serving as the Bird ReportsOfficer. He participates in manybirding activities including preparingand submitting Importnat Bird Areanomination forms, conducting aBreeding Bird Survey in Butler Countyfor the past six years and participatingin the Winter Raptor Survey. In addition to birds he is alsointerested in plants, mammals,herptiles and ecology in general and heis an avid nature photographer whohas had several photos published inPennsylvania Birds as well as one in

The Birds of Pennsylvania byMcWilliams and Brauning. Mike is a valuable member of our teamand we are proud to have him.

PSO ANNUAL MEETING

The Pennsylvania Society forOrnithology will hold its annualmeeting May 17-19th, 2002 at EastStroudsburg University in MonroeCounty. This is a wonderfulopportunity to get together with otherbirders and experience birding in thePoconos, as well as learn more aboutthe region and its birds. The banquetspeaker, John Serrao, will give asplendid overview of the uniqueecosystems of the Poconos bio-region.For more information, see the PSONewslette r or our website ,http://www.pabirds.org. A registrationform is included on the inside of theback cover sheet.And speaking of the web site, FrankHaas has made an excellent start atputting together a comprehensivewebsite on birds and birding inPennsylvania. You didn’t really thinkhe was going to retire and disappear,did you?

DATA & VOLUNTEERS WANTED

Once again, I want to remind everyonethat the information we publish is onlyas good as the data we receive. Pleasecontinue turning in quarterly reportsto your county compilers. Don’t forgetto include any pictures of unusualbirds that you’d like to see consideredfor publication. (Publication of photosdepends in part on whether the bird isstill visible when the picture isconverted to gray scale. How that willturn out is not always obvious fromlooking at a color picture.) If you wantphotos or slides returned, make sure toinclude an address to return them to.Also remember to consider turning indata from trips outside your owncounty, especially if you’re birding inone of the less-birded areas. For

counties that don’t have many residentbirders, every little bit can help thecompiler to create a more accuratereport. If you have data of note for acounty with no compiler, please send itdirectly to me. If you’d be interested involunteering to compile one of thecounties that isn’t being reported onnow, contact me. We are in the process of findingsomeone to take over coordinating andcompiling the spring North AmericanMigration Count for Pennsylvania.Greg Keller has turned in his finalcount compilation and is longer able tocontinue in that capacity since he hasmoved out of state. Thanks to Greg fordoing so a good job!Nick Kerlin who has been doing agreat job of compiling the data forSusquehanna County has also moved,although not quite as far, and will nolonger be able to do that job. ScottKillam has also resigned as ColumbiaCounty compiler due to otherresponsibilities. They’ve both done agreat job and will be hard to replace.Any volunteers to take over maycontact me.

INTRODUCTION

Birdwatching never has been morepopular as a leisure activity.According to federal governmentstatistics, nearly 85 million Americanscurrently claim an interest inbirdwatching, a larger number ofdevotees than that of hunting andfishing combined. Consequently, neverbefore have so many books attemptedthe well-nigh impossible task ofsatisfying both those who enjoynatural history and birders (to use thepreferred term among the activefaithful) of myriad skill levels andexpertise.

Birders, for their part, long havedisagreed whether field guides shouldbe illustrated with paintings orphotographs. Of course, both mediahave inherent disadvantages.On the one hand, the success of a fieldguide relying on paintings is in thehands of the artist or artists.Paintings, even by the best artists,seldom capture the subtleties of shapeand expression that make each birddistinctive. Painting from living birdsis difficult and studying birdspecimens in a museum tray offerssome reference point, but a laid-out‘skin’ hardly resembles that unfamiliarbird in the back yard. The skill of theartist comes in the interpretation.Thus, artwork invariably distorts,however minutely, the reality itattempts to convey.

On the other hand, photographic avianfield guides offer great promise butusually cannot deliver the goods

either. An unedited photograph isoften misleading in ways that are notobvious at first glance. Wild birds arephotographed under a multitude ofvariables, such as lighting, poses,camera lens, film, weather, plumageand feather condition that practicallyguarantees a hodgepodge of a fieldguide with no unifying visualapproach. Quite simply, snapshotsmay capture an actual bird in anextraordinary pose or in unusualshadow or light. In fact, in comparingtwo photos, we never can trust whatthey seem to show us about relativesizes or colors. What looks like adistinctive field mark in a photo maybe just a shadow or an artifact oflighting. Unless we already know thebird well, we have no way of knowingwhich aspects of the photo to believe.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kenn Kaufman, birding evangelist,conservationist and legend amongbirders, long recognized and puzzledover the shortcomings of photographicavian field guides. Kaufman's interestin birds is long-standing andunusually intense. At the age ofsixteen, in 1973, he dropped out ofhigh school - "Do you want to be aloser?" his guidance counselor askedhim - shouldered his backpack andbegan a cross-country, 80,000-milejourney via hitchhiking and theoccasional Greyhound bus in order tobreak the record for most bird speciessightings in a single year.

Kaufman, who went on to writeKingbird Highway about hiswandering adventures, knew at anearly age he would dedicate his life tobirds. This was a kid whose childhoodhero was Roger Tory Peterson. "Bythe time I was six," he writes, "havingconcluded that there were no tigers orcomets or dinosaurs in our humdrumIndiana neighborhood, I had turned tobirds as the best thing available."Young Kaufman eagerly canvassed histown by bicycle, sometimes sightingmore than 100 avian species in oneday. This singleness of purpose wouldserve him well during his 1970s

migrations: waiting all night beside arainy interstate, slogging through deepsnow to glimpse a stray Eurasian Tealor getting busted for hitchhiking inVirginia. Traveling on the tightest ofbudgets, Kaufman could go for amonth or more on the fifty dollars hewould earn selling plasma or pickingapples. Soon he became part of thequickly growing national community ofdie-hard birders who developed in theearly 1970s through birdingorganizations, newsletters andregional bird-counting contests. Later,Kaufman became affiliated with VictorEmmanuel Nature Tours (VENT) andThe American Birding Associationwith whom he taught birding sessionsand workshops in many regions. Hesays ". . .these were more educationalfor me than for the students."

"The information explosion, " he notes,"in birding as in everything else, wasbringing us more and more data, fasterand faster. . . . Listing would shiftaway from knowledge and planningand experience, toward contacts andhot lines and money. And, no doubt, itwould continue to be a tremendousamount of fun for those who couldafford it. But list-chasing had lostmost of its appeal for me. What Ineeded to do now was to go back andlook at all those birds again, takingmore time."

A longtime friend and disciple of thelate, eminent birder Roger ToryPeterson, Kenn Kaufman is a FieldEditor for Audubon magazine and aregular contributor to nearly everymajor birding magazine in the country.He is the youngest person ever toreceive the Ludlow Griscom Award,the highest honor of the AmericanBirding Association. His books includeLives of North American Birds and thePeterson Field Guide to AdvancedBirding, both published by HoughtonMifflin Company. Currently he livesin Tucson, Arizona, with his wife,Lynn.

THE FIELD GUIDE

Houghton Mifflin has been a leadingpublisher of natural history and

PENNSYLVANIA BIRDS 51 2001 – VOLUME 15 NO. 2

conservation books for many years. Infact, it was this company that took therisk of publishing Roger ToryPeterson's Field Guide to the Birds in1934, a historical event thateventually evolved into thecommercially successful Peterson FieldGuide Series of nature books. In thefall of 2000, the company launched abrand new field guide series with TheBirds of North America being the firstKaufman Focus Guide. It is theauthor's sincere desire that the guidewill attract a whole new section of thepopulation to birding. He hopes thatas more people become aware of birdsand their beauty, they also will careabout preserving their environment.

The book uses an innovative techniquethat just wasn't technically feasiblebefore now. "More than twenty yearsago," says Kaufman, "I had decidedthat the best way to illustrate a birdguide would be to use photographs, butto 'edit' them somehow. At the time,there was no good way to do that.Then came the digital revolution.Digital editing of images became areality, and I started working on thefirst Focus Guide in the mid-1990s,just as it was becoming practical to dothis on a large scale."

So how did the author minimize thevariables that plague bird photographsused in field guides, considering thathis photos came from more than eightytop photographers?

Kaufman started by scanning theoriginal photos on a drum scanner, ahigh quality means of creating adigital file of a picture. Then, usingAdobe Photoshop, a type of image-handling software, he corrected eachbird photo for color. Next, heeliminated confusing backgrounds andopened shadows. Finally, he helddetail in highlights and emphasizedkey identification marks that his andother experts many years of birdingexperience proved useful. Such aninnovative technique of combining thebest features of photos and paintingsresults in the most accurate andhelpful image of birds ever to appearin an avian field guide and clearlyillustrates the marks necessary forquick and easy identification.

The author says this about why hisguide is so desperately needed today"

Most recent bird guides have falleninto one of two camps. Either they'vetried to simplify by leaving out somebirds altogether, which is bad news ifyou're looking at one of the omittedspecies. Or, they've tried too hard toimpress the expert birders. It's truethat there are now many experiencedbirders who know their common birdsand just want tons of detail on speciesthat are very difficult to identify.Some supposedly ‘general’ field guideshave tried to please those experts, byskimping on the common birds andcramming in brief notes about reallyesoteric field marks for the difficult orsuper-rare. That's fine for thethousands of experts, but its terriblefor the millions of people who are stilltrying to learn their local birds. I evenknow people who have been birding foryears who are just bewildered anddisheartened by some of the recentbird guides."

"Experts need different kinds ofinformation than most other birders.I addressed this when I wrote thePeterson Field Guide to AdvancedBirding ten years ago. That book gavelots of highly detailed data on just afew of the most difficult identifications.Roger Tory Peterson and I haddiscussed this, and concluded that itwas better to put such information ina separate, supplementary guide,where birders could pick it up afterthey had gained some experience."

"With this Focus Guide, I tried tostrike the right balance for the vastmajority of users. It covers everyspecies (750) and every variation thatone can expect to see. And for each ofthem, the focus is this what does aperson need to know if they are seeingthis bird for the very first time? Whatare the essentials, the basics, that areleft out of some other books? Myintention was to create the perfectguide for the person who wants tolearn the birds."

Indeed, The Birds of North Americacombines simplicity and artistry tobreath-taking effect. The book is smallenough for a big jacket and can be heldin one hand. Birds are arranged bysimilarity with field marks highlightedfor easy comparison. This groupingmeans some birds are illustrated out oftaxonomic (scientific) order. Forexample, birds that are often seen

swimming together are showntogether, even though they are notrelated (p.47). Such ordering may be anuisance for an experienced birder,particularly if you are in a big hurry.However, such bird sections orgroupings make sense for a beginneror intermediate birder. Fifteen color-coded tabs or blocks key these birdgroupings throughout the book: Ducks,Geese, and Swans (dark green), OtherSwimming Birds (dark blue), AerialWaterbirds (gray), Birds of Prey(orange), Chicken-like Birds (brown),Wading Birds (blue-gray), Shorebirds(pale brown), Medium-sized LandBirds (dark red), Hummingbirds,Swifts, Swallows (light green),Flycatchers (lavender), TypicalSongbirds (light blue), Warblers(yellow), Tanagers and Blackbirds(purple), Sparrows (dark brown) andFinches and Buntings (magenta), alllisted on page 1. When the book isclosed, these color tabs are visible,allowing the user to flip instantly to,say, warblers or sparrows. The samecolor-coded tab system is used withphotographs in the Pictorial Table ofContents to introduce the book (pp. 2-5). A great idea because just bylooking at the contents' pages a birdershould be able to narrow a search foran unidentified species. Also, there isa Quick Key to the Range Maps at thebottom of page 5. Colors on the mapsshow where a bird may be found ateach season and how frequently.Although the key indicates that thereare only three colors to remember,there are actually four: red forsummer, blue for winter, purple for allseasons (overlapping red and blue),and gray for migration. Colors arepaler if the bird is rare or hard to findand again four colors are used.

Birding Basics (pp. 7-15) includesmany helpful tips about birding butKaufman's use of vivid colors and linesfor pinpointing Bird Topography andField Marks is especially noteworthy.A line not only points to the wingcoverts on his model bird, for instance,but also the colored area shows whatwing coverts encompass (p. 10). Whatto look for on an unfamiliar bird (p. 11)includes size, shape and posture, billshape, behavior, field marks and birdvoice. I'd like to see Kaufman includehabitat here instead of on page 15because it is such an important key foridentifying unfamiliar birds. Also, I'd

Page 6: PENNSYLVANIA BIRDS · PENNSYLVANIA BIRDS 49 2001 – VOLUME 15 NO. 2 PENNSYLVANIA BIRDS (ISSN 0898-8501) is published four times a year by the Pennsylvania Society for Ornithology

PENNSYLVANIA BIRDS 52 2001 – VOLUME 15 NO. 2

place field marks last of the seven keysfor the simple reason that mostbeginner and intermediate birdershave a tendency to quickly refer totheir field guide for help. Kaufmanhimself mentions that in all cases theobserver should take a good look at thebird first. I would go even farther bystating that the first cardinal rule inbird identification is not only to look atthe bird but also to study its details,behavior and habitat where found.Make quick notes about the bird, evendraw a crude sketch or take a photo ofit, if you have time. Then, and onlythen, should you consult a field guide.Since the guide is arranged into fifteensimilar bird sections, it departs fromthe standard American Ornithologists'Union scientific order in severalplaces. Thus, to help birders findspecies on a published check list, asequence of bird families as designatedby the AOU is included on page 13 asa Check List Decoder.

The bulk of the guide (pp. 16-371) islaid out in two-page spreads coveringdetails of the fifteen similar birdsections. Each left-hand pagedescribes three to five related specieswith range maps for most, color-codedfor season and frequency. Briefphrases give most species' song, voiceor call notes. The corresponding right-hand page offers bright, high-resolution color pictures of the samebirds, on a perch or in flight. Shortinserts help explain, for example, howto distinguish among many similarsparrows (pp. 336-350). The book endswith a source of further information,numerous acknowledgments andphotographer credits, index of Englishnames and life list, and a short color-coded index of birds for quick, easyreference (pp. 372-384).

COMMENTS

The guide includes a two-page spreadon domestic and feral waterfowl (pp.44-45) and another two-page spread onparrots and parakeets (pp. 194-195),which are most helpful for beginnerand intermediate birders. Some bookreviewers were critical of Kaufmanexcluding near extinct or highlyendangered species, such as EskimoCurlew, Ivory-billed Woodpecker andBachman's Warbler. The author,however, stresses in his introductionthat he included only those birds that

could be expected to be easily observedand purposely excluded extinct, nearextinct, highly endangered and erraticaccidental species to North America.The book, as has become the customwith other field guides using thegeographic term ‘North America,’covers only Alaska, Canada, the Lower48 States and the northern tier ofMexico. Excluded regions are most ofMexico, Central America and theCaribbean Islands.

The weakest part of the book, in myopinion, is the series of range maps.There is need, for instance, toconsistently use one term, either "rare"(p. 5) or "scarce" (p.14), but not both.Such terms need quantification. Mydeepest concern, however, is theseemingly lack of up to date speciesdistribution data for the range maps. Ifound the following miscues regardingthe birds of Pennsylvania: Redheadmap page 26 should be changed to allseasons scarce. Common Mergansermap page 34 should be all seasonsscarce. Brant map page 38 shouldshow migration scarce at Erie andsoutheastern Pennsylvania. AmericanCoot map page 46 needs to be changedto summer scarce northwesternPennsylvania. Forster's Tern andCommon Tern maps page 80 needmigration scarce northwestern andsoutheastern Pennsylvania. Ospreymap page 110 should show summerscarce in Pennsylvania. Bald Eaglemap page 110 should be all seasonsscarce in Pennsylvania. Black Vulturemap page 112 should extend alls e a s o n s s c a rce i n ea s t e r nPennsylvania. Snowy Owl map page126 needs change to winter scarce atErie. Wild Turkey map page 140should be all seasons common inPennsylvania. Sandhill Crane mappage 144 should show summer seasonscarce in western Pennsylvania.Cattle Egret map page 146 needschange to migration scarce. PurpleSandpiper map page 172 needs winterscarce northwestern Pennsylvania.Spotted Sandpiper map page 174needs change to summer common inPennsylvania. Common Snipe mappage 176 needs change to summerscarce in Pennsylvania. Red-neckedPhalarope and Red Phalarope mapspage 182 need migration scarce innorthwestern Pennsylvania. MarshWren map page 282 change to summerscarce northwestern Pennsylvania.

Blue-headed Vireo map page 290extend summer common patternthrough the Allegheny MountainsWorm-eating Warbler map page 314change to summer scarce inPennsylvania. Dickcissel map page326 needs dashed line to be extendedinto central Pennsylvania. Bobolinkmap page 326 extend summer commonpattern farther into southwesternPennsylvania. Clay-colored Sparrowmap page 342 needs summer scarcepattern in western Pennsylvania.

A few other clarifications are proposedoutside Pennsylvania: NorthernFulmar photos on page 93 should havelabels for dark and light morphs.White-tipped Dove text page 190should add "short, square tail withwhite corners in flight."

In sum, Kaufman argues that birdingis more than a pleasant way to spendtime outdoors. "And we can't afford tohave anyone discouraged frombirding," he says, "because birds needall the friends they can get. We won'tsave habitat for bird populationsunless we have broad public support. .. . I want absolutely everyone to havethe chance to enjoy birds and nature.From this standpoint, it's obvious thata standard bird guide should be aimedat the millions of ‘casual’ birders, notthe few thousand master birders.’"

Birds of North America is colorful,concise, light and fits easily intopocket or purse. However, itscompression comes at a cost: thenecessity of cramming so much data oneach page has resulted inuncomfortably small though sharpimages. The photographs get highermarks for accuracy than esthetics.Nevertheless, the guide should be usedby all birders, beginners and expertsalike, as a quick reference in the field.In the end, each birder and naturalistmust choose, based on traditionalexperience, whether paintings ordigitally corrected photographs suither or his fancy.

Spring Raptor Migration Summary 2001By Kyle McCarty and Keith L. Bildstein

Six watchsites reported counts for

spring 2001 (Tables 1 and 2, pp 55-

56). Count effort (hours of

observation) for five sites ranged

from 74 to 344 hours for a total of

1,136 hours (data not available for

Tussey Mountain). Each of five sites

that also reported counts in 2000

increased count effort by at least

25%, continuing an upward trend

since 1998, and reflecting a rising

interest in spring hawkwatching in

Pennsylvania. Two watchsites,

Allegheny Front and Rose Tree

Park, registered more than 300

hours of counts.

A total of 12,454 raptors

representing 17 species were

reported. More than three-quarters

of the total flight was seen and over

half of the total hours were logged

in April, when the peak of migration

occurs. The passage rate for all

species for five sites ranged from 2.9

to 7.3 raptors per hour (average

5.2), an average rate of two fewer

raptors per hour than in 2000. A

S w a i n s o n ’ s H a w k ( B u t e o

swainsoni), the only one reported

this year, was seen at Tussey

Mountain, seven miles south of

S t a t e C o l l e g e in c e n t r a l

Pennsylvania.

Composition of the flight

Broad-winged Hawks (Buteo

platypterus), which began to appear

at watchsites in early April, and

peaked by mid to late April, made

up 43% of the overall flight (range

of 11-55%), and were the most

common raptors at four of the

watchsites. At Allegheny Front and

White Deer Ridge, Red-tailed

Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) and

Turkey Vultures (Cathartes aura),

respectively, were the most

abundant migrants.

Red-tailed Hawks, which were seen

migrating as early as February,

made up the second largest part of

the flight (14%). Turkey Vulture

(10.4%), Sharp-shinned Hawk

(Accipiter striatus) (9.7%), and

Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) (5.6%)

were the only other species that

made up more than 5% of the

overall flight. These numbers are

nearly identical compared with the

composition of last year’s flight.

Red-shouldered Hawks (Buteo

lineatus) and Golden Eagles (Aquila

chrysaetos) were much more

abundant in March than April.

Three sites, Tussey Mountain,

White Deer Ridge, and Allegheny

Front, accounted for 260 of 262

(>99%) Golden Eagles, overall.

Golden Eagles made up 2.5-5.1% of

the flight at these sites, whereas

they were far less common at Hawk

Mountain, Rose Tree Park, and

Tuscarora Summit, where they

made up <0.5% of the flight.

Seasonal Highlights

Allegheny Front (Bedford County)

– Observers at this site logged 344

hours, an increase of more than 100

hours from last spring. The total of

seven Peregrine Falcons (Falco

peregrinus) seen is more than any

other site this year. This was the

only site at which Red-tailed Hawks

comprised the majority of the flight

(>26%). Passage rates for all species

were equal to or less than spring

2000 rates, leading to a decrease in

total raptors seen despite expanded

coverage.

Hawk Mountain Sanctuary

(Berks County) – The total of 1,432

hawks, with 1,344 of them in April,

represents the highest count for the

last four years, when spring

migration has been monitored

exclusively at the site’s North

Lookout. For this same period,

record season totals were set for 9 of

the 14 species seen, and including

daily high counts for Turkey

Vulture (40), Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus

leucocephalus) (2), Northern Harrier

(Circus cyaneus) (20), Sharp-

shinned Hawk (38), Cooper’s Hawk

(Accipiter cooperii) (7), Broad-

winged Hawk (242), Red-tailed

Hawk (40), and American Kestrel

(Falco sparverius) (25).

Rose Tree Park (Delaware

County) – Observers at this

w a tch s i te i n s o u t h e a s t e r n

Pennsylvania logged 64 more hours

than last year, and recorded nearly

300 more migrants. Passage rates of

7 of 15 species also increased, and

the total rate of 7.3 birds per hour is

among the highest of all sites

reporting this year, as are the total

counts of four species seen,

including seven Northern Goshawks

(Accipiter gentilis) and 170

American Kestrels. The highest

daily count of the season came on

April 13 with 706 raptors counted,

of which 551 were Broad-winged

Hawks.

PENNSYLVANIA BIRDS 54 2001 – VOLUME 15 NO. 2

Tuscarora Summit (Fulton

County) – The spring migration

count began at this site in the 1970s,

and has averaged nearly 22 days of

spring coverage since 1994. Passage

rates for Osprey and Sharp-shinned

Hawk both were the lowest in the

past five years, but that for Cooper’s

Hawk was the second-highest over

the last eight years. Broad-winged

Hawks, Turkey Vultures, and Red-

tailed Hawks accounted for >82% of

the flight, the highest combined

proportion for these three species

among all sites.

Tussey Mountain (Centre County)

– With near full-time coverage for

the first time, this site had a banner

year, setting count records for all

species seen except Northern

Goshawk, which tied the record. The

site is along an important flyway for

Golden Eagles (count=166) in spring.

On April 12, observers counted 2,609

raptors of 16 species, including a

Swainson’s Hawk, the first ever seen

at Tussey Mountain. Of the six

watchsites that reported, Tussey

Mountain recorded the highest

counts in the state for 12 of 17

species, and the 10 Rough-legged

Hawks (Buteo lagopus) was more

than all other sites combined.

White Deer Ridge (Lycoming

County) – In its second season, this

watchsite added Black Vulture

(Coragyps atratus) (count=1), Rough-

legged Hawk (3), and Merlin (Falco

columbarius) (2) to its list of

migrants. The total count of 33

Golden Eagles, with 11 on March 18,

and the 112 hours of effort both are

>30% increases over last year. The

passage rate of 0.3 Goldens per hour

was equal between years. Passage

rates for Buteo hawks (Red-

shouldered, Broad-winged, and Red-

tailed), American Kestrel, and

Sharp-shinned Hawk all were 26-

70% below the first season’s, while

that for Northern Harrier increased

15%.

compilers who reported their counts

for the spring 2001 season, and all of

the watchsite participants who

helped the compilers document the

Mississippi Kite Sightings

There were a number of Mississippi Kite

sightings this quarter. The Pennsylvania

Ornithological Records Committee

considers Mississippi Kites to be a casual

visitor to the state and requests

documentation for any sightings. Below

are excerpts from descriptions submitted

for a few of this quarter’s sightings.

Date: May 24, 2001Location: Blue Marsh Gamelands,BerksObserver: Katrina KnightWeather Conditions: Warm, noprecipitation, some clouds but notheavy cloud-cover, light breeze.Description: I first spotted this birdsitting perched at the top of a treefrom a distance. My initial impressionwas of a medium-sized dark raptorwith a white head. The bird wasobviously not the right shape for anaccipiter - the tail was too short andthe body shape just didn't quite fit;and it seemed to small for a Red-tail,as well as having a white head. It wastoo big and had the wrong markingsfor a kestrel. The dark chest and thesmall size ruled out Osprey. It wasobviously too small and not bulkyenough for an eagle. The white headand general shape and size seemedwrong for a harrier. That eliminatedthe raptors I commonly see in thatarea. It did not seem to have the rightcoloration for any other buteo either. Islowly approached it. As I wasapproaching, it appeared that the birdhad a forked tail. Eventually, I got towithin a 100 feet or so, where I couldsee that what I had initially thoughtwas the tail was actually long, pointywings whose tips went past the end ofthe tail. By this point it was alsoobvious that the bird had a gray backand chest with a darker tail. The billalso appeared relatively small for araptor. At this point I had no doubtthat this bird was a Mississippi Kite,which I have seen and observed atlength on multiple occasions inFlorida. I watched the perched birdfor at least 15 minutes before it took

off and slowly circled around over-head, gradually getting higher andthen flying off toward the lake and outof sight. In flight, the bird appearedpointy-winged and somewhat like afalcon in shape, but with a slightlynotched tail. and its flight was gracefulwithout much flapping once it wasaway from the perch, very unlike afalcon's more powerful flight. At thetime the bird flew off, I wasattempting to use my cell phone to callsome other local birders over to see it,so my views of it in flight were mostlynaked-eye rather than with mybinoculars. I could not see any stripesin the tail, which should make the birdan adult. I could see some white in thewings on the upper side when itturned, but I mainly saw it from belowand am not completely sure whether ithad the white secondaries of a fulladult or just spots where new featherswere coming in on a sub-adult. Thebird was definitely not an immature,being gray, not brown on the back andplain gray, not streaked on the breast.I believe the bird was a male, due tothe very light color of the head.

Date: May 30, 2001, 4:30PMLocation: Lake Nockamixon StatePark, Haycock Township, BucksObserver: Bill EtterWeather Conditions: Bright skies,moderate windDescription: A raptor that I at firstmistook for a Sharp-shinned Hawkflew out from above the treetops andcircled overhead. The proportions ofthe wings were more slender andpointier than any resident accipiter orbuteo. Its size was clearly larger thanthat of any expected falcon. It seemedvery bouncy. As the bird circled, I hada good look at its banded tail, faintlystreaked gray breast and underwingpattern. The underwing was generallydark, accentuated by noticeably lightpatches below the secondaries, at the‘wrist’. The bird appeared to bemissing a few primary feathers,especially on its right wing. Itcontinued to fly back and forth overthe woods and hillside, made a grab atsomething in midair, then turned andflew northeast. From my hilltopvantage, I was able to pick it up in thescope at this point, watching it until itdipped below a distant treeline aminute or two later.

Sighting Report Excerpts

The following are excerpts ofinteresting reports received thisquarter. Additional reports can befound on pages 54, 63 and 90.

American White PelicanDan SnellDate: April 17, 2001, approx 5 PMLocation: Bald Eagle State Park,CentreConditions: overcast, drizzle andrain, temperature in the upper 30s tolow 40sSeen from approximately 200 meterswith a spotting scope.Description: At the Lower GreensRun Launch Area, I relocated thepelican discovered by Don and RobynHenise on 4/16. The lone bird wasresting in the water approximately 30feet away from the sand spit/mud barwith the only leg parts exposed beingthe thigh and tibia. The pelican wasvery large in comparison to a femalewigeon resting on the mudbar. Themajority of the time, the pelican wasresting with head tucked in, howevertwice the bird stretched its neck outand exposed the head and billregions. Body: very large and white, with a“patch” of black primaries exposed,proportionately short tailLegs: exposed thigh/tibia orangishbill and pouch: yellow/light orangecoloration. The upper bill exhibited aslight protuberance. Head region: white feathers with therear crown area exhibiting featherssticking up creating a “shaggy” (likeAlfalfa’s hair on the “Little Rascals”).Eye ring and lores same color as billand pouch. From the observeddistance it was hard to tell, but theeye color looked darker than thesurrounding face. (Description andfield notes including sketchessubmitted to PORC)

Little GullRick WiltrautDate: April 7, 2001Location: Martins Creek PP&LFlyash Basin, NorthamptonConditions: overcast, drizzle andrain, temperature in the upper 30s tolow 40s. Seen from approximately 200meters with a spotting scope.Description: Almost full adult

plumage. Dark head with some whitemottling. Bird much smaller than theBonaparte's Gulls that were presentat the same time. Watched the bird atrest and in flight. Upper wings lightgray with white border to rear edge ofwing. Did not have white wing-tips(tr iangles) l ike Bonaparte 's .Underwings black. Very noticeableeven at a distance as it was beingchased by the larger gulls. Watchedfor approximately 15 minutes. I havepreviously seen Little Gulls along theSusquehanna River, at Presque IsleState Park, and at Lake Ontelaunee.(Documentation submitted to PORC.)

Little GullBill EtterDate: April 12, 2001, 5:40-6:10 PMLocation: Lake Noxamixon StatePark, BucksConditions: partly cloudy skies, sunlow in sky with excellent lightingfrom behindDescription: The Little Gull was anadult in winter plumage, feeding witha large (60-80) flock of Bonaparte'sGulls between 100-300 yards out overthe water. The underwing was anunmistakable, dark, uniform slategray, with clean white tips andtrailing edge. The mantle was lightgray, the legs were red, and the headwas mottled, with the hood stillundefined. The presence of theBoneparte's Gulls provided anunbeatable comparison. While thedark underwing was evident to thenaked eye, I spent over 20 minuteswatching the bird feed through thebinoculars and scope. It was one ofthe last birds in the flock to settledown on the surface just after 6:00.(Description submitted to PORC.)

Black-legged KittiwakeLauretta PaneDate: April 4, 2001Location: Shawnee Lake, BedfordDescription: Initially standing onshore about 20 yards past a smallflock of Ring-billed Gulls. Appearedslightly smaller; all white head, neck,breast and underparts medium graymantle, dark wing-tips extended pasttail; dark eye, all-yellow bill whichwas smaller than that of the other

gulls, short black legs. In flight -wing-tips black top and bottom,mantle and upper wings gray -l i g h t e r t o w a r d p r i m a r i e s .(Documentation submitted toPORC.)

White-winged DoveBarb DeanDate: June 11, 2001, 4:00-4:45 PMLocation: New Castle, LawrenceConditions: Sunny, 82E, observedfrom 15-100 feet.Description: I pulled into CandyGonzalez's driveway and was greetedwith the song immediately. It wasnice hearing both the Mourning Doveand the White-winged Dove singingat the same time. The White-wingedwas in a small maple tree but I wasnot able to see it right away. At aboutfive minutes after four, it flew to alarge tree out in the back of theproperty but it was just a blur at thispoint. I was not able to see the birdtill it flew over my car severalminutes later. I was able to view theshorter black and white underside ofthe curved tail as it flew to the tree inthe front yard. I got out of the car andgot a good view of the right sideprofile of the bird (with the exceptionof its tail) as it stood on the branchfrom a distance of about 40 feet. Thewhite wing strip along the lower edgeof the wing at rest stood out reallynice as did the blue orbital ring andred iris. It was not hard to see theblack mark on the lower "cheek" Thebird definitely looked "bulked up"when compared to a Mourning Dove.At 4.35 the bird flew to a Pin Oak inthe back yard. A few minutes later itflew to the feeder area. It landed on awooden board below all the feedersand showed me all its "stuff" in clearview and maybe only 15 or 16 feetaway. I watched it for a good fiveminutes and was amazed at howsquared off the tail was at rest. Inflight, the tail looked gracefullycurved but I might be wrong. AMourning Dove came up from behindthe White-winged and tried to matebut the White-winged flew into thelittle maple tree again. (See photo highlights section for apicture.

Highlights of the 2001 North American Migration Countby Gregory S. Keller

Overview

P e n n s y l v a n i a b i r d w a t c h e r s

celebrated the 10 annual Northth

A m e r ican M i gr a t io n C o u n t

(NAMC), held on 12 May 2001, by

enjoying the return of migratory

birds to their favorite hot spots.

For the second year in a row,

enthusiasm was record-breaking;

901 observers was the highest

number of counters ever, and

participation in 45 counties was

second only to 47 counties in 2000.

With record-breaking participation

came a near-record count of species.

We found a total of 235 species,

second only to 237 species observed

in 1998 . A lthough b i rders

throughout eastern North America

were proclaiming this lackluster

spring to be a migratory bust, when

gathered on a single day in mid-

May, Pennsylvania’s birders proved

to be adept at finding the elusive,

the rare, and the accidental.

Weather

Rain? During the NAMC? What

would a count day be without

furious storms, high winds, and

torrential rain to break up the

monotony? As always, the weather

had an influential hand in the

NAMC. No matter what time the

storm hit this year, nearly every

county compiler reported at least a

few hours of rain. Unseasonably

dry weather with few low-pressure

systems led to a drought of

migrants during early spring. But

a massive front crossed eastward

through Pennsylvania during the

count, and what began as dry

spring day quickly turned dark.

H e a v y t h u n d e r s t o r m s a n d

relentless downpours on 12 May did

not produce a fall-out of birds that

one dreams of during spring, and

m o s t o b s e r v e r s r e p o r t e d

disappointing totals. But when

taken together, the list produced by

901 counters was impressive,

particularly for a rainy day.

Participation

E v e n t h o u g h t h e w e a t h e r

dampened our individual species

lists this year, it did not diminish

enthusiasm. Two consecutive

record years for participation bode

well for the future of the NAMC in

Pennsylvania. Franklin County

took top honors this year in

participation, with an incredible 84

observers (Table 1). As with

previous years, Indiana and

Chester Counties also fielded large

teams. Ten counties were

represented by at least 38 counters,

and 17 counties had at least 20

participants.

Table 1. The most participants.

1. Franklin 84

2. Indiana 65

4. Bucks 55

5. Juniata 45

6. Dauphin 44

7. Lancaster 43

8. Berks 39

8. Greene 39

10. Allegheny 38

Although they may not have had

t h e g r e a t e s t n u m b e r o f

part icipants, many counties

boasted observers putting in much

more than the typical 8-hour

workday. Without contest, Trudy

Gerlach won the Iron Woman

Award for dedication. As the only

participant in Bradford County, she

counted birds for 16.3 hours,

finding 392 individuals of 61

species (Table 2). Runners-up were

Crawford, Forest, and Venango

Counties, which each fielded one

party and averaged approximately

15 hours. Parties in 12 counties

averaged at least 9 hours.

Species Lists

Lancaster County led the day with

a total of 158 species out of the 235

total observed in all counties

combined (Table 3). Four counties

topped the 150-species mark, and

31 counties topped the 100-species

mark. The average number of

species per county was 111.=

9. Schuylkill 139

10. Dauphin 138

Several counties boasted the

highest counts for individual

species. But Franklin, with 35, and

Indiana, with 33, were far above

the others (Table 4).

PENNSYLVANIA BIRDS 60 2001 – VOLUME 15 NO. 2

Even more impressive was the list

of counties that contained the most

unique species. Lancaster let the

way with four species, followed by

Indiana and Westmoreland with

three unique species each (Table 5).

Ten counties had one unique

species.

They are the typical birds that one

encounters in nearly every site and

habitat in eastern North America;

13 ubiquitous species were detected

in all 44 counties (Table 6).

Although not a particularly

interesting group of species, it is a

testament of the skill of observers

that such a large group of

widespread species was found.

species (found in every county).

10. Eastern Towhee

11. Song Sparrow

12. Brown-headed Cowbird

13. Baltimore Oriole

Once again, permanent residents

and short-distance migrants

dominated the list of most

abundant species; only the Barn

Swallow represented long-distance

migratory species returning to

Pennsylvania (Table 7). Of the

207,958 individuals recorded

during the NAMC, here are the 10

most abundant.

The list of Neotropical migrants

was composed entirely of species

that nest in Pennsylvania rather

than those that pass through the

state (Table 8). Here is a list of the

top 20 species, out of 77 species

detected by all counties combined,

that predominately winter in the

West Indies, Mexico, Central and

South America.

never resident in Pennsylvania,

whether as summer breeders or

w i n t e r r e s i d e n t s , w a s a n

interesting mix of waterbirds and

warblers (Table 9). They were not

particularly abundant, as the top

transient was only the 62 mostnd

abundant species.

According to the same criterion as

above, a paltry 12 passerine

during the count (Table 10). With

the exception o f Blackpoll ,

Tennessee, and Bay-breasted

Warblers, numbers of individuals

were very low.

General Impressions

Once again, the North American

Migration Count this year left

observers feeling that the day had

been relatively unproductive, and

few compilers were pleased with

the total number of species they

reported. In particular, most

participants during the count noted

the paucity of migrants. When

combined for the entire state,

however, the total number of

species, including migrants, was

impressive.

Although 11 wader species,

including rails, was an impressive

number observed during the

NAMC, few were abundant or

widespread. American Bittern was

present in only four counties, Little

Blue Heron was found in two

counties, and Snowy Egret and

Page 15: PENNSYLVANIA BIRDS · PENNSYLVANIA BIRDS 49 2001 – VOLUME 15 NO. 2 PENNSYLVANIA BIRDS (ISSN 0898-8501) is published four times a year by the Pennsylvania Society for Ornithology

PENNSYLVANIA BIRDS 61 2001 – VOLUME 15 NO. 2

Yellow-crowned Night-heron were

present in one county each.

Waterfowl, including moorhens,

were very well represented during

the count with 28 species. Many

species missed during last year’s

count were found by observers this

year: Tundra Swan, Northern

Shoveler, Gadwall, Greater Scaup,

Long-tailed Duck, and Red-

breasted Merganser in two

c o un t ie s , A m e r ic an W ig e o n

( F r a n k l i n ) , C a n v a s b a c k

(Lancaster), and Redhead (Erie)

present in one county.

Observers detected 12 raptor

species (including vultures) during

the NAMC, but Northern Goshawk,

Rough-legged Hawk, Merlin, and

Golden Eagle all were no-shows.

Seventeen shorebirds was a

respectable total, including Ruddy

Turnstone in Indiana, Willet in

Cambria, White-rumped Sandpiper

in Lancaster, and Short-billed

Dowitcher in Adams. Lancaster

and Luzerne were the counties

boasting the most shorebirds, each

with 11 species. Six gull species

(Laughing, Bonaparte’s, Ring-

billed, Herring, and Great Black-

backed), including a great find of a

Common Black-headed Gull in

Lancaster, and four tern species

(Caspian, Common, Forster’s, and

Black) rounded out the waterbirds.

Six owl species were counted during

the NAMC. An amazing 12 Barn

Owls were found in Berks County,

and two Northern Saw-whet Owls

were observed in Luzerne County.

Five Short-eared Owls were

counted in three counties.

A single Yellow-bellied Flycatcher

in Indiana County ensured that no

flycatcher species were missed for

all counties combined. In addition,

six Olive-sided Flycatchers and six

Alder Flycatchers were found in

five counties each. Chester County

was flycatcher central, with high

counts of four species (Eastern

Wood-Pewee, Acadian and Willow

F l y c a t c h e r s , a n d E a s t e r n

Kingbirds). All regular vireos also

were detected and were relatively

abundant. Philadelphia Vireos

were practically widespread, found

in 11 counties.

All five wren species were counted

during the NAMC. Four counties

recorded Marsh Wrens, with a solid

eight individuals in Philadelphia

County. Butler County was the

only spot for Sedge Wrens, but

p a r t i c i p a n t s f o u n d t h r e e

ind ividuals . Observers in

Westmoreland County were treated

to a wonderful extralimital

observation – Mountain Bluebird.

The only thrush not found was

Bicknell’s; perhaps next year will

be the first for this species on the

count, since one was seen a day

later in Bucks County. For the

second year in a row, both shrikes

were missed during the NAMC in

Pennsylvania. Although missing

N o r t h e r n S h r ik e w a s n o t

surprising, Loggerhead Shrike was

not found in Adams County for the

second year in a row.

The highlight of the NAMC this

year certainly had to be the

warblers. Always a group that

enlivens any spring morning, they

are usually the reason we are

willing to head to our favorite

hotspots at 5:30 am on a Saturday

morning. In fact, they are often

what make our hotspots hot. An

astounding 37 species were found

during the NAMC, with the only

miss being the rare Connecticut

Warbler. But missing Connecticut

W a r b l e r c e r t a i n l y w a s

overshadowed by the presence of

two very rare warblers. A singing

male Kirtland’s Warbler was found

by John Fedak at Piney Tract in

Clarion County, and a Swainson’s

W a r b l e r w a s d e t e c t e d i n

Westmoreland County. Other

rarities that were found during the

count included two Orange-crowned

W a r b l e r s ( I n d i a n a a n d

Philadelphia Counties), a total of

six Prothonotary Warblers in four

counties, and a total of six

Mourning Warblers in six counties.

Berks and Westmoreland Counties

were the places to find an

abundance of warblers, each

tallying 30 species during the

NAMC, followed by Indiana County

with 29 warbler species.

Sparrow species also were well

represented this year. A total of 15

species were found during the

count, with a few stragglers staying

in Pennsylvania late into the

spring: three American Tree

Sparrows in Franklin County, five

Fox Sparrows in three counties,

nine Lincoln’s Sparrows in five

counties, and widespread White-

throated and White-crowned

Sparrows. In addition, Clay-colored

Sparrows were detected in both

Clarion and York Counties.

Whereas southern specialties

(Yellow-throated, Prothonotary,

and Swainson’s Warblers, Summer

Tanager, and Blue Grosbeak) and

northern breeders (Lapland

Longspur, and Rusty Blackbird)

provided interesting sightings

during the NAMC, winter finches

were nearly non-existent. Neither

crossbill was found during the

count, and Common Redpolls (six

individuals in Indiana), Pine

Siskins (two individuals in Greene

County), and Evening Grosbeaks

(57 individuals in two counties)

were recorded in paltry numbers.

The NAMC Future

The NAMC in Pennsylvania

appears to be a project that will

only continue to grow over the next

several years. For at least the fifth

year in a row, participation was

record-breaking. Although the

number of counties participating

this year was down slightly from

last year, the numbers of observers

increased by 39. This is a

testament to the degree of

dedication by compilers and

observers not seen in other states

and only surpassed by the

Christmas Bird Count. And with

record-breaking participation has

come wonderful observations of

more than 230 species, including

many rare, threatened, declining,

and extralimital species.

The success of the NAMC during

2001 was due in large part to key

counties that were added to this

year’s count, all of which provided

interesting lists of species.

However, even though we added

specifically the Black-backed

Woodpecker at the Pocono

Environmental Education Center

and Bewick’s Wren in Lehigh

County.

I believe that breaking the 240-

species (or even 250-species) barrier

during the NAMC will require four

things in future counts: 1) perfect

weather; 2) a big fallout day; 3)

greater coverage throughout the

s t a t e w i t h e v e n g r e a t e r

participation; and 4) willingness to

compile county records. We can do

little to influence the weather and

the abundance of birds, so 240

species is not necessarily realistic

every year. However, greater

coverage of the state, particularly

in counties with few (or no) birders,

will certainly increase the number

of individuals AND species

observed. It is difficult to believe

that there was not a single

Connecticut Warbler skulking in an

overgrown thicket or a Bicknell’s

Thrush foraging deep in a patch of

mixed forest somewhere in

Pennsylvania on 12 May 2001.

Detecting the rare and secretive

species simply will take a greater

number of birders willing to search

in the more distant regions of our

state. Finally, a few dedicated

birders will need to volunteer to

compile observations for counties

currently without coverage .

Thankfully, Trudy Gerlach of

Bradford County, Jim Lockyer of

Delaware County, and Ben Coulter

of Erie County helped to add three

counties to this year’s count that

were missing last year. Although

not a particularly difficult job,

compiling records for a county does

take time and patience. Perhaps

with a realistic goal of adding two

or three counties each year without

losing counties, we subsequently

can reach for record counts in

future years and document other

interesting and unusual species in

Pennsylvania.

Acknowledgments

I would like to extend special

thanks to Katrina Knight for her

patience. And to every dedicated

county compiler who rallied the

troops and returned forms in a

timely manner, I am grateful.

Red-necked Phalarope

August and Judy Mirabella

Date: May 13, 2001

Location: Core Creek County Park,

Bucks

Conditions: clear, sunny, seen from

100-150 feet with binoculars and scope

Description: We saw the breeding

plumaged female at 11:30 AM and

again about 5 :30 PM. The red neck

extending from front around the sides to

the back, the gray breast, white throat,

dark back with lengthwise reddish

stripes, dark cap, black face patch, and

thin bill were typical.(Description and

video submitted to PORC.)

Wilson’s Phalarope

August and Judy Mirabella

Date: May 19, 2001

Location: Quakertown, Bucks

Conditions: clear, sunny, seen from

100-150 feet with binoculars and scope

Description: It was obviously larger

than the Red-necked we had seen a few

days before and had a longer thin black

bill. It had a gray cap, nape, and upper

back, and had scaly looking lower back

feathers with dark centers and buffy

edges. There was a vertical white stripe

up the back of the neck that could be

seen when the neck was extended. The

belly, breast, and face were white,

although the sides below the neck had a

gray wash. There was a dark eye line

extending from bill to the dark nape. It

had a white supercilium. The reddish

wash on the throat extended to the edge

of the gray nape. The bird fed with

rapid side to side motions of its bill. It

walked with its legs extending out of

the water rather than

swimming.(Description and video

submitted to PORC.)

Bicknell’s Thrush

August and Judy Mirabella

Date: May 13, 2001

Location: Core Creek County Park,

Bucks

Conditions: clear, sunny, in the woods

with filtered light, seen with binoculars

and scope at 10-40 feet

Description: At approximately 6:00

PM, while waiting for DF to return from

looking at a Red-necked Phalarope

nearby, we heard a call near by that we

knew was interesting. When DF

returned, we all approached the call and

found a Gray-cheeked type thrush. As

we watched we noticed the tail was

obviously reddish brown compared to

the olive gray brown back, but not as

red as Hermit Thrush. Having seen a

Gray-cheeked the day before at very

close range, I also felt the bird looked

smaller. The face appeared to blend in

more with the head and back rather

than being darker gray. There was no

eye-ring but, depending on the light, the

area around the eye looked paler gray.

The lower bill was one-half to two thirds

yellow; the upper was dark. It had

whitish throat with dark lateral throat

stripes. The breast had the dark spots

and the belly and undertail coverts were

whitish. During an hour or more of

observation, there was no frequent tail

wagging as in Hermit Thrush.

We knew that the reddish tail indicated

possible Bicknell's so we retreated to

the car to study and listen to calls. Upon

returning we played the call notes and

song of Bicknell's and repeatedly got

agitated responses to both. The

response to the song was often started

only maybe one-fifth into the tape song

so the songs were on top of each other.

A couple of times they were basically in

sync. The tape and bird sounded

identical to all three of us. The call

notes also sounded identical to the

tape.

Kirtland’s Warbler

John, Lisa and Danny Fedak

Date: May 12, 2001, 7AM

Location: Piney Tract, Clarion

Description: The bird was seen and

heard (heard first) in the same pine tree

plantation that the Clay-colored

Sparrows have been breeding in. I

heard a song that I know I should have

known, but couldn't place when I found

the singer about 50 feet away at the top

of one of the pines (12-15ft high) The

bird sung again when in view and I

could've slapped my head for not

remembering the song sooner.

The bird had a bluish-gray back, darker

face with a broken eye-ring with white

being on the top and bottom of the eye,

the back became more grayish olive (at

least less bluish) toward the sides and

had darker streaking, the sides were

yellow speckled with black streaks and

the throat remained yellow. The breast

and the belly also were unstreaked or

spotted and bright yellow. The undertail

was white and the bird pumped its tail

4 or 5 times. Although there was a tiny

white line on the wings, it was too

broken to call it a wingbar. I observed

this bird for about 2 -3 minutes when a

Clay-colored sparrow flew to the tree

and the bird spooked off. The sparrow

seemed smaller or about the same size

but less bulky.

I drove to Foxburg, called the bird in,

and then went back to try to document

it. I searched for a long time and did

manage to locate the bird on the far side

of the pines just before they thin out at

about 10:15 to 10:30 am. Again, the bird

pumped it's tail up and down, and again

was spooked as a purple finch flew to

the tree. The finch was much bigger.

This second observation was from about

30 feet away and was much shorter,

about 1 minute at the most. The bird

was moving among the branches toward

the. top of the tree.( about 8 feet high)

and I couldn't get a picture before it

flew. When it flew it went into the

deeper part of the larger pines. The bird

was not singing during the second

observation.(Description submitted to

PENNSYLVANIA BIRDS 85 2001 – VOLUME 15 NO. 2

Preliminary Checklist of the Birds of Butler Countyby Paul Hess and Gene Wilhelm

Butler County's rich ornithological record is over a century old. Its pages open with a manuscript dated

January 14, 1898, in which the teen-aged W. E. Clyde Todd carefully annotated a list of birds in the Buffalo

Creek area. In fact, Todd said the differences in birdlife he found there and in his native Beaver County

crystallized his monumental effort culminating in Birds of Western Pennsylvania, published in 1940.

Within a decade of its publication, another notable figure emerged: F. W. Preston, whose countless notes

spanning 30 years focused especially on his home and laboratory grounds at Meridian and on Lake Oneida.

Preston's many important observations included the region's only Gadwall nestings south of Pymatuning,

western Pennsylvania's first Forster's Tern record, and rarities like the county's first Bachman's Sparrow.

Among exceptional fieldwork in the 1950s and 1960s were Hal H. Harrison's studies for his Field Guide to

Birds' Nests, including a discovery that extended the Prairie Warbler's known breeding range northward

more than 50 miles. In 1969, a major study by Joseph Grom at the Audubon Society of Western

Pennsylvania's Todd Sanctuary enabled comparison of current birdlife with Todd's findings in the same area

seven decades earlier.

Impoundment of Lake Arthur in 1970 saddened veteran watchers at the former Muddy Creek wetlands, but

it conveniently heralded the era of wide birding popularity. An active corps of local observers and a growing

influx of visitors from nearby counties gave intensive coverage to the lake at Moraine State Park as well as

hotspots like the Glades state gamelands and the Slippery Rock area. The long list produced by Todd and

those who followed still leaves numerous opportunities awaiting a second century of ornithological study.

This is a working list of the 291 species, 2 hybrids, and 2 western subspecies for which reports have been

published as valid in at least one of the references listed. (Not all have been evaluated formally by a rarities

committee.) Those in bold type are reported every year. Those in normal type are irregular or occasional, not

reported every year. Those in italic type are very rare, casual, or accidental (1 to 5 records). Species

underlined have been confirmed as breeding. Records of birds not listed, in italic type, or breeding but not

underlined, should be sent with full details to the Pennsylvania Birds Butler County compiler.

Rare Bird ReportsEdited by Nick Pulcinella

Black-backed

WoodpeckerPicodes arcticusPike County

On 6 March 2001, Kristine

Dzurison an employee of the

Pocono Environmental Education

Center (PEEC) discovered the

Black-backed Woodpecker on the

grounds of the Center. The

following report regarding the

discovery and identification of the

bird was written by PEEC

naturalist Patrick Scheuer.

Kristine Dzurison first observed

the bird behind some of the

cabins at PEEC campus. She was

unfamiliar with the bird and

looked it up in some field guides.

She was sure it was a Black-

backed. She notified me at work

the next day. Needless to say, I

was skeptical! Three days later I

was birding around campus and

found the bird in a stand of red

pines along our "Tow Ponds"

trail. The bird has a sharply

defined yellow crown; the upper

parts of the head and back were

glossy black with bluish edgings;

its breast was dull buffy white,

with the flanks heavily barred

with dull black; outer tail

feathers white with slight

barring; wings solid black with

small white spots along the

edges. Back was solid black with

no white markings. Malar line

white above and black below

extending from the base of the

beak and running almost to the

collar below the eye. When it

grasped the trunk with legs

spread three distinct toes were

obvious (two forward, one back).

While feeding the woodpecker

inserted its bill under the bark

scales and flaked them off. it was

very approachable and allowed

watchers within ten feet. Since

the first sighting several hundred

birders from all have come to see

the Black-backed Woodpecker.

Rare birds Editor: Black-

backed Woodpecker breeds in

boreal forests from Alaska south

into central California and east

across boreal Canada and south

into northern New York. There

have been at least 14 reports of

this species for Pennsylvania but

only one of those sightings was

a d e q u a t e l y d o c u m e n t e d

(McWilliams, 2000), a bird at

State College, Centre County.

The Centre County bird, much

like the Pike County bird, was a

l o n g - s t a y i n g i n d i v i d u a l

remaining in the area from 24

November 1981 - 19 May 1982.

No doubt, some of the other

sightings are true and this

species is likely to occur again in

the state.

Summary of the Season - April through June 2001by Mike Fialkovich

Spring always brings great

anticipation for birders with

flocks of migrants and the hope

for rarities. Early summer is the

time to enjoy breeding birds and

to search for unusual breeding

species. The migration was

rather uneventful, however there

were some very interesting birds

reported this quarter.

The big news this spring was an

influx of Mississippi Kites to the

southeastern part of the state.

There were reports from the

following counties: Berks, Bucks,

L a n c a s t e r , L e b a n o n , a n d

N ortham pton . Adults an d

immatures were seen, and an

individual was found dead at

Middle Creek. There was also a

second hand report of a Swallow-

tailed Kite in Lancaster.

An American White Pelican

showed up in Centre in April.

Reports of the less common

herons came from the western

side of the state which is less

expected than in the southeast.

L ittle B lu e H e ro ns were

reported from Bedford , Bucks,

Erie, and Indiana, a Cattle

Egret was in Armstrong, Snowy

Egrets were found in Bucks,

Dauphin, Erie, and Schuylkill.

Glossy Ibis were found in Berks,

Chester and Delaware , and

several flyover dark ibises were

s e e n i n L a n c a s t e r a n d

Montgomery and left as Plegadis

species.

Trumpeter Swans were found in

Crawford, Fulton, and Somerset,

Brant in Berks and Carbon, and

a E u r a s i a n W i g e o n i n

Lancaster.

Golden Eagle reports came from

Crawford, Erie, Huntingdon, and

Lebanon , and a Swainson’s

Hawk was recorded at a spring

hawk watch in Huntingdon. A

white phase Gyrfalcon pleased

birders in Erie for a few days in

April.

Shorebird highlights include a

Willet in Cambria (a first county

record), Whimbrel in Erie and

Lancaster, and Red Knots in

Lancaster and M ontgom ery .

Usually expected during the fall,

spring reports of W estern

Sandpiper in Bedford, and a

B a i r d ’s in L u z e r n e w e r e

noteworthy. Two White-rumped

Sandpipers were found in

Bedford, and one in Northampton.

Phalaropes were well reported

with one Wilson’s and one Red-

necked in Bucks, a Wilson’s in

Lebanon, three Red-necked in

Chester, and one in Northampton.

Herring Gulls were found

n e s t i n g a t K i t ta n n i n g i n

Armstrong , only the second

location in the state. Little Gulls

were reported in Bucks, Dauphin

and Northampton, a Thayer’s

Gull was in Bucks, and several

Lesser Black-backed Gulls,

Glaucous and Iceland were also

reported. A Black-legged

Kittiwake in Bedford, and five

Franklin’s Gulls in Somerset

represented the highlights for this

group. It is interesting to note

the Franklin’s and Kittiwake

were recorded at mountain lakes,

away from Lake Erie or any major

rivers.

Black Terns were reported from

nine counties and they continue to

breed in Crawford. Two Arctic

Terns in Lancaster were first

county records, and single Least

Terns appeared in Bedford and

Lancaster.

Two White-winged Doves added

to the few records in the state.

One was in Lawrence and one was

found in Centre about the same

time.

Certainly the bird of the quarter

was the Boreal Owl found in

Erie at Presque Isle State Park.

This was the first record since

March 12, 1896! That bird was

f o u n d a n d c o l l e c t e d i n

Wilkinsburg in Allegheny County

and is in the Carnegie Museum in

Pittsburgh. Short-eared Owls

were confirmed breeding in

Clarion again, and birds seen in

Allegheny and Mercer during the

summer were probably breeding.

Th is spec ies seem s to be

expanding in the state and is a

welcome addition to the state’s

breeding avifauna.

There were many reports of

Whip-poor-wills this quarter.

Known to be declining throughout

the east, reports were received

from 22 counties which was

encouraging. A Chuck-wills-

widow in Bucks was interesting

as this bird returned to the same

area it was found last year.

Perhaps this species will be

confirmed breeding in the future.

A close second for the bird of the

quarter was the Black-backed

Woodpecker found at the Pocono

Environmental Education Center

in Pike. The bird was originally

identified in March but was

unknown to birders in the state

until early April. Its presence

was noted on the New Jersey

listserver, so it pays to be aware

of birds reported on listservers in

neighboring states. Furthermore,

birds appearing in neighboring

states may have implications for

future records in Pennsylvania.

photographed and described by

several observers.

There has been concern about the

status of Loggerhead Shrikes

in Adams. There was speculation

the birds were no longer there,

however they were found during

the quarter and are still resident

in the county. This species

requires close monitoring.

Single Sedge Wrens were only

reported from Armstrong and

Erie. A closely studied Bicknell’s

Thrush was present in Bucks.

A Kirtland’s Warbler was found

in Clarion for a first county

record, but only remained in the

area for a day. Two Swainson’s

W a r b l e r s s h o w e d u p i n

Westmoreland, one at Bushy Run

Battlefield and one banded at

Powdermill Nature Reserve. This

is the third year in a row this

species has been recorded in

Westmoreland. The bird at

Bushy Run Battlefield followed

the pattern set by the birds in

previous years of remaining in the

area for a few weeks and singing

persistently, then moving on.

Another Swainson’s was found

at Blue Marsh Lake in Berks.

Lawrence’s Warblers were in

Bucks, Greene, Schuylkill, and

W estm oreland . B rew ster ’s

Warblers were reported in

C r a w f o r d , F o r e s t , G r e e n e ,

Montgomery , Schuylkill, and

Tioga.

Summer Tanagers are well

known as a breeding species in

Greene, but two in Allegheny

(migrants) on separate dates in

May were noteworthy.

Clay-colored Sparrows were

once again at the Piney Tract in

Clarion where a small population

is apparently established. Clay-

colored Sparrows were also

r e p o r t e d f r o m A l l e g h e n y ,

Armstrong , Chester, Clarion ,

Clearfield, Erie, Indiana, and

Tioga. This species is becoming

increasingly common in some

parts of the state, and may

generate less excitement (but no

less interest) in the coming years.

A Harris’s Sparrow in Erie was

the first for many years in that

county.

Dickcissels appeared in Adams,

B u c k s , C l a r i o n , a n d

Westmoreland, however this was

not an invasion year for this

species. The three birds in

Adams remained to the end of the

quarter.

A few northern finches were

present this quarter. Pine

Siskins were reported from

eleven counties, and Evening

Grosbeaks from Philadelphia

and Tioga. Red Crossbills were

seen in Cumberland, Huntingdon,

and Wyoming, a Pine Grosbeak

was reported in Centre, and a

small flock of Common Redpolls

visited a feeder in Indiana.

We recorded 294 species this

quarter, plus the two warbler

hybrids. This was up slightly

from 288 recorded last year.

Reports were submitted from 51

counties.

The editors would like to thank

the county compilers for their

continued hard work.

Common Raven Nest inCumberland - Excerpts from a

report by Randy C. Miller

Date & Time: May 20, 2001, 10

AM to 3PM

Location: Pine Grove Furnace

State Park, Cumberland County

Habitat: The nest with three

young was found on a large rock

outcropping approximately 70 feet

high. The nest was about 40 feet

from the bottom. This outcropping

was located on a popular trail on

the east side of the park. Many

people were hiking to the overlook

above the nest.

Description: Two adults and 3

young were seen. The adults were

large, approximately 24 inches with

a 50 inch wingspan and had black

plumage with wedge-shaped tails.

The young had black plumage with

white down on top of their heads

and mantles. All had dark eyes and

large black bills. The adult birds

uttered loud croaks and other

varied call while the young made

mostly loud croaks. The calls were

unlike those of the American or

Fish Crow.

(See picture of nest area in the

Photographic Highlights section.)

Local Notes

Adams CountyLocations: Gettysburg National Military Park (GNMP),Lake Kay (LK), Lake Heritage (LH)

There were 157 species reported during the quarter,including 29 species of warblers. During the samequarter last year, 155 species were reported, including 27species of warblers.

There were 3 sightings of Double-crested Cormorantsin the county, even though there are only a handful oflarge ponds and small lakes. The 5/12 Cormorant at LK(C Adams) and the 5/24 bird at SGL 249 (J&N Locher)were late for migrants. Perhaps they were from thegroup that nests on the Susquehanna River. The 57Lesser Scaup found 4/5 at LH (D Hoffman) was a ratherlarge flock for Adams County.

An adult Bald Eagle was found 5/12 on the NorthAmerican Migration Count (NAMC) (P Bugler). It isalways a treat to see one of these majestic creatures.There have been several reports of them in the countyduring the past few years. It would not be too surprisingto find out that there is a nest site somewhere in thecounty.

Unfortunately, there was no report of NorthernBobwhites during the quarter. They are very scarce inAdams County these days. Two grassland bird surveyroutes run for the past seven years have produced onlythree reports of Northern Bobwhite. Ring-neckedPheasant numbers have gone from low to lower over thesame period of time. Not a single Ring-necked Pheasanthas been found on one of the routes for the past threeyears (P Robinson).

Upland Sandpipers are continuing to nest in smallnumbers in Freedom Township, in spite of the homesbeing built in some of the hay fields in the nesting area.On 6/11 2 adults with 2 young were seen (D Siefken).There was only 1 sighting of Loggerhead Shrike, asingle bird on 4/5 (DH). There were 3 sightings ofCommon Ravens during the quarter.

A good number of species of warblers were found, butthey were hard to find. The number of individuals waslow. 2 Cerulean Warblers were found – 1 5/12 on theNAMC (PB), and another 5/12 at SGL 249 (PR).

An American Tree Sparrow found 5/15 at the GNMPwas a month late (G Keller). A Blue Grosbeak washeard singing 6/10 from a hedgerow on Bigham Road(PR). Blue Grosbeaks are scarce, but regular, in Adamsand York Counties – more common in neighboring YorkCounty. 3 Dickcissels, also scarce but regular in AdamsCounty, were found 6/24 on Littlestown Road and SellStation Rd (PR).

Allegheny CountyLocations: Dashields Dam (DASH), Frick Park (FP),Harrison Hills Park (HHP), Highland Park Bridge(HPB), Imperial (IMP), Mayview Wetlands (MW),Schenley Park (SHP)

Very late was an adult Common Loon 6/26 at theDASH along the Ohio River (S Kinzey). A Great Egretwas seen 4/3 at the MW (V Judd). Although this specieshas been reported annually in the county the past fewyears, it is still a rare find. Rails are rarely reported inthe county, so a Virginia Rail on 5/1 (B Judd) and aSora 5/5 (VJ) at MW were notable.

The Herring Gull colony on the HPB at the AlleghenyRiver remains active with 8 nestlings observed, and laterseveral fledglings perched on the bridge (P Brown, SK, MFialkovich). Terns are also rarely reported in the countyso 10 Caspian Terns flying along the Allegheny River atthe HPB was a great find 4/21 (SK).

The Peregrine Falcons in Pittsburgh produced 4 chicksthis year. The banding was broadcast on a local newsstation 5/3. Peregrines continue to be observed inOakland also. It is not known if this is the pair inPittsburgh, or another pair.

Shorebirds reported in the county includedSemipalmated Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper,Solitary Sandpiper, Spotted Sandpiper (breeds),Pectoral Sandpiper, Common Snipe, AmericanWoodcock (breeds), Dunlin, Greater and LesserYellowlegs, White-rumped Sandpiper, Killdeer(breeds), and Semipalmated Plover.

Short-eared Owls were probably breeding this year atIMP as a bird was seen hunting in the morning 6/2 (DWilton). A Red-headed Woodpecker 4/27 at FP wasunusual for the county (S&J Solomon). A Bank Swallowwas seen at IMP 5/21 (DW, MF) which is uncommon. Asmall colony of Purple Martins persist at Butler’s GolfCourse in Elizabeth Township (W Hammond, MF).

A Northern Waterthrush at HHP 4/14 was very early(P Hess). Other warbler highlights include an Orange-crowned Warbler at FP 4/23 (var. ob.), Worm-eatingWarbler at FP 4/23 - 5/18 (var. ob.) and 2 at HHP 5/6(var. ob.), 6 Wilson’s Warblers 5/18 at FP (T Floyd, JS,SS), Mourning Warbler, and Cape May Warbler. Thestatus of Ovenbird in the county as a breeder wassomewhat confirmed as a bird was heard singing atWexford 6/19 (MF, J Valimont). This species is probablymore widespread during the breeding season, but goesunreported.

Unusual was a Summer Tanager found at FP 5/1 (NH).Surprisingly, another was found at SHP 5/12 (MF, JV)making a nice addition to the migration count.

A Clay-colored Sparrow was seen and heard at FP4/29 (var. ob.). This species has previously only beenreported in the county at IMP. Furthermore, the habitatwas a wooded clearing. Clearly a migrant, the bird couldnot be located the following day. 2 Pine Siskinsappeared at a feeder in Pine Township 4/26 (P&S Lynch)and 2 also appeared at a feeder in Natrona Heights 4/29(PH).

Armstrong CountyHighlights of the season include Cattle Egret, possibly-nesting Short-eared Owls, the first confirmed nestingof Herring Gulls at Kittanning thanks to S Kinzey,Sedge Wren, and Clay- colored Sparrow. A CattleEgret visited a farm near Vandergrift on 5/2 (V Couch).2 Short-eared Owls were present near ER 4/13 whenDennis Lauffer observed wing-clapping by 2. Single birdswere sighted 6/5 (Li&Le Hess) and again on 6/10 duringthe Edgewood Grassland Bird Survey (R&M Higbee).The Herring Gulls apparently nested on thenavigational structure not far above the dam atKittanning. According to Scott Kinzey, "This is the samekind of structure that Herring Gulls have used to nestnear Lock #2 near Pittsburgh. On June 25 there were 2adults and 2 fledglings; and on July 3 there were 4adults, and the fledglings were still looking good. " JohnFedak writes, "I had a Sedge Wren on 6/25 and heard iton 6/26 again near Worthington in Armstrong county. Ihave had no visual of the bird but am positive of the IDof the song." North of Worthington, JF also saw andheard a Clay-colored Sparrow.

Bedford CountyLocations: Allegheny Front (AF), Dunnings CreekWetlands(DCW), Shawnee State Park (SSP)

Highlights of the second quarter include Black-leggedKittiwake, Sandhill Cranes, White-rumpedSandpipers, and Least Tern.

Bedford County with its ridges, low valleys, andnumerous rivers and streams make it an excellentmigratory corridor. It is also rich in habitat and species.On the Maryland border, southern species make theirway into the county. Most of this report is obtained fromwithin a triangle formed from DCW, SSP and the AF.

A first for Bedford County was a Black-leggedKittiwake first discovered at SSP on 4/8 (J&KBarnhart) and photographed on the 10th. Other findsincluded 5 Common Loons at SSP on 4/8, 13 Pied-billed Grebes at DCW on 4/3, and 8 Horned Grebes atSSP on 4/8. A total of 6 American Bitterns, scatteredover four impoundments were observed at DCW on 4/21.A Least Bittern was discovered in a cattail marsh atSSP on 5/20 and stayed on to nest. To the delight of all, aSandhill Crane visited DCW on 4/23, and later 3 morevisited on 5/21. This has become a yearly event. The firstappearance of a Great Egret was on 6/5 at DCW andthis was followed by 2 Little Blue Herons on 6/10 atDCW. A pair of Green Herons nested and raised 3fledglings at DCW.

On 4/14 R McGlynn, a counter for DCW, was counting upa line of standing Canada Geese when she spotted apair of red legs, looking up she saw the genetic artistry ofa Greater White-fronted X Canada Goose hybrid.The hybrid was wary, but fortunately lingered anotherday for others to enjoy. Some high waterfowl counts forthe quarter included 220 Wood Ducks at DCW on 4/2,48 Blue-winged Teal on DCW 4/2, 170 Ring-neckedDucks at DCW on 4/2, and 20 Common Mergansers atSSP on 4/8. Don Morris reported the first successfulBedford County nesting of a Common Mergansers on

5/10 at Towns Creek. Later, the hen was found with 8chicks. Totals of 50 Red-breasted Mergansers werereported on 4/8 at SSP and 100 Ruddy Ducks on 4/11 atDCW. Hawk counters at the AF reported 91 Ospreysand 24 Bald Eagles for the period. Ospreys werereported well into June as they enjoyed several fishyimpoundments at DCW. The last Golden Eaglerecorded was on 4/23 at the AF. A pair of AmericanKestrels successfully raised 3 fledglings in a nest box atDCW. A rarity for Bedford County was a NorthernBobwhite at DCW on 4/20. A high count of 5 VirginiaRails were seen mid-day at DCW on 4/20. R Galardy,using tapes, managed to attract 15 Soras on 5/12 atDCW. A lone Common Moorhen was seen on 5/27 atDCW where it lingered for two weeks. American Cootsreached a high count of 154 on 4/20 at DCW.

Although heavy rains were frequent during the period,they were usually accompanied by dry periods thatexposed muddy shoreline. The following shorebird highcounts were reported at DCW: 35 SemipalmatedPlovers on 5/15, 46 Greater Yellowlegs on 4/20, 3Lesser Yellowlegs on 5/13, 4 Solitary Sandpipers on5/15, 13 Spotted Sandpipers on 5/15, 48Semipalmated Sandpipers on 5/21, 1 WesternSandpiper on 5/27, 27 Least Sandpipers on 5/15, 2White-rumped Sandpipers were first seen on 5/27,they lingered until 6/5 where they were joined by 2others for several days till rains drove water levels up. 15Pectoral Sandpipers were present on 4/8 and to ourdisappointment they were not joined this year by 1 or 2Stilt Sandpipers as they have in the past. Dunlins firstarrived on 4/19 and by 4/26 had reached a high of 32.

On 6/11 at DCW K Georg watched a Least Tern fishing,preening and resting. These events were witnessed at adistance of as little as 30 feet. A Red-winged Blackbirdof almost equal size harassed the tern. This sightingoccurred as Tropical Storm Allison was flooding statesadjacent to the Mississippi -- could there have been aweather relationship here?

Totals of 4 Northern Saw-whet Owls and 4 Whip-poor-wills were found on a “toot route” in southernBedford County just 10 miles north of the Marylandborder on 5/19. Red-headed Woodpeckers were foundat the Buffalo Farm near SSP on 5/12. There are nowfour reliable areas within five miles of SSP to see thesewoodpeckers. Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers werereported on 4/8 and 4/12 in the vicinity of SSP.

The first Alder Flycatcher of the season was heard andseen on 5/17, and a high of 5 Willow Flycatchersoccurred on 5/27 at DCW. A Wood Duck box at DCW wastaken over by a Great Crested Flycatcher. On asimilar note, a barn recently relocated to DCW had 11Cliff Swallow and 7 Barn Swallow nests for its firsttenants.

Only 16 warbler species were reported for the NAMC onMay 12. The warbler numbers increased to 29 speciesshortly after the count. Worm-eating Warblerscontinue to be a relatively common nester on the slopesof the Allegheny Front.

My last comment is a statement about a bird that fewpeople mention: the Gray Catbird. I have learnedcatbirds listen at night. Each morning at 5 am one singsoutside my bedroom window and among its largerepertoire of sounds are two perfect short imitations; oneof a Whip-poor-will and the other of a Spring Peeper.

Note: prior arrangements are necessary to visit DCWsince access is through private property.

BerksLocations: Blue Marsh L. (BML), Glen Morgan Lake.,Morgantown (GML), Hawk Mt. Sanctuary (HMS), LakeOntelaunee (LO).

Pied-billed Grebes nested again at GML, with 11adults and 15 chicks counted 6/2 (K Lebo). A high countof Horned Grebes for recent years was 64 at LO 4/16,along with 6 Red-necked Grebes (K Knight). SingleRed-necked Grebes were at GML 4/2 (KL) and LO 4/18(M Wlasniewski).

A Glossy Ibis was at a water detention basin at a stripmall on Route 183 in Bern Twp. 5/1 (E Barrell). TwoAmerican Bitterns, one of them calling and displayingwhite shoulder plumes, were discovered at a small marshnear Hamburg 4/21, but were not seen after 5/8 (MW).On night canoe visits to GML, KL heard 2 LeastBitterns 5/11, 5/24 & 6/8, and a single bird 5/18. TheGreat Blue Heron colony near Oley had 40 young in 22active nests 6/16 (R Keller); the other 5 known colonieswere not censussed. Only 9 pairs of Black-crownedNight-Herons appeared at their only known colony inWest Lawn 5/15, about a month later than usual, andproduced 24 young. Some non-breeding adults werepresent (J Brown). A Green Heron pair, nesting in thesame multiflora rose bush they have used for severalyears, fledged at least 3 young at Gotwals pond, Oley inlate June (RK).

The last big flock of 1200 Snow Geese (30 Blues) and asmall race Canada Goose were at a pond nearShartlesville 4/1; a few Snow Geese, some wounded,again summered (RK). A late flock of 25 Brant left LO5/19 (EB, MW). A resident Mute Swans pair at LO had5 cygnets (coming soon to a lake near you) 5/6 (SFordyce). Strong headwinds may have accounted forsome exceptional waterfowl counts 4/16, including ~360scaup (thought to be mostly Greater), 20 White-wingedScoters and 123 Buffleheads at LO (KK), and 200Long-tailed Ducks at BML (HJS). A record high countfor LO of 104 White-winged Scoters was tallied 5/18(M Spence). To show how quickly these birds move on,only 8 were seen there 5/19 (KL). A Ruddy Duck drakewas at GML 6/2, but there was no sign of nesting thisquarter (KL).

2 Mississippi Kites were reported, one at BML 5/24(KK) and an immature there 6/2 (H&J Silagy). Non-breeding Ospreys and Bald Eagles were here allquarter; nesting platforms stand waiting. An immatureNorthern Goshawk at HMS 6/28 (D Barber) mayindicate that these hawks still nest on the KittatinnyRidge. The only rails heard on night canoe trips at GML

were a Virginia Rail and 3 Sora 4/25 (KL). A singleAmerican Coot was there 6/8, with no sign of nesting(KL).

The farm pond on Old Route 22 just east of Shartlesvillewas again a shorebird magnet, attracting 11 species,including a White-rumped Sandpiper 5/21, 3 Dunlin5/22 and a remarkable 78 Short-billed Dowitchers5/21 (KL, MW, et al). Another eyesore water detentionbasin, this one near Lyons, attracted 14 LeastSandpipers 5/6 (SF). The migrational direction of aLeast there 6/30 (SF) is your call. An UplandSandpiper, a rare sighting nowadays, was nearKempton 4/30 (K McCarty). The last reported LesserBlack-backed Gull was at LO 4/7 (MW). Counts of 12Caspian Terns at Hamburg 4/10 (MW) and 17 at BML4/15 (H&JS) were high. A Northern Saw-whet Owlcalling in Bern Township 5/11 but not later (EB) wasprobably a late migrant. The only Whip-poor-willreports were of singles near Eckville 4/29 (T Clauser) andKempton 5/7 (DB). In late June, a Belted Kingfisherpair was delivering fish to their young in the same roadbank burrow near Albany they used last year (RK).

Adult Red-headed Woodpeckers were seen at twotraditional nesting areas near Oley and Bowers in June(var. ob.). Two Olive-sided Flycatchers at BML 6/3(EB) tied the late spring record, but a bird at Kempton6/6 (KM) broke it. Alder Flycatcher, rarely reported inBerks, was singing at GML 6/1,2, with 2 there 6/8 (KL).Purple Martin colonies in Mohrsville and Centerporthad a total of 52 birds 5/21 (H Lebo). There was ascattering of Red-breasted Nuthatch reports throughthe quarter, including a bird in possible coniferousnesting habitat at BML 5/16 (H&JS). As noted manyyears ago with evident exasperation by Earl L. Poole,this nuthatch "...is one of the most unpredictable anderratic birds whose movements appear to defy anyattempt at explanation."

Birders reported 33 warbler species with no notablefallouts until a heavy migration of Blackpoll Warblers(17at SGL 110 on 5/27 - K Grim) and AmericanRedstarts occurred at the end of May. Berks County'sfirst Swainson's Warbler, discovered singing in awooded ravine at BML 5/19 (P Githens) was seen andheard again 5/20 (H&JS), then disappeared. There were3 overshoot Prothonotary Warblers, a bird at BML4/21 (EB, et al), another at Plowville 5/12 (HL) and alingerer at Trout Run, Exeter Township 5/24-6/2 (MS).The only reported Golden-winged Warbler was on Mt.Penn 5/5 (R Carpenter). Though most Palm Warblers inBerks are yellow or Eastern, a “Western” PalmWarbler was at SGL 110 on 4/22 (KG). A lateMourning Warbler was at GML 6/3 (KL).

Thanks largely to late cutting of grass hayfields,Bobolinks and Eastern Meadowlarks were able tofledge young in Albany and neighboring townships, oneof their few reliable nesting areas. Vesper, Savannahand Grasshopper Sparrows were found in or near thesame fields.

Bradford CountyAt least 111 species were found in Bradford County

during the quarter. A breeding bird survey in theWyalusing Area listed 75 species on 6/4 with a total of 90in southeastern Bradford County that day. Included onthe BBS list was a Northern Bobwhite of unknownorigin near Reinze.

A marshy pond near Rt. 6 in Standing Stone Townshipcontinues to be a very dependable site for VirginiaRails, Marsh Wrens, and Swamp Sparrows.

A Philadelphia Vireo found by T Gerlach at New Eraon 5/12 was unusual, especially in the spring.

Also unusual was a Mute Swan which turned up at apond at Spring Hill on 5/15 and remained for the rest ofthe quarter (E&B Beebe).

Bucks CountyLocations: Blooming Glen (BLG), Bradford Dam (BRD),Core Creek Park (CCP), Delaware River (DR),Nockamixon State Park (NSP), Peace Valley Park (PVP),Quakertown Swamp (QTS), Rohm & Haas (RHS),Tullytown (TLT), Warner Tract (WT)

The quarter was marked by extremes in rainfall. Apriland May had about average overall rainfall but a monthlong drought began in April and continued through mostof May. This resulted in good shorebird habitat untilheavy rains raised water levels the last week of May.June rainfall was much above average mainly due totropical storm Allison, which flooded many areas andmay have destroyed nests and killed young birds. Latebroods of Wild Turkeys after the quarter may be anindication of this. June temperatures were above normal,otherwise the quarter was near average.

As usual, most residents seemed to arrive on time butmany migrant species peaked later than normal withvery low numbers until a fallout of neotropical passerinemigrants occurred 5/22 through 5/24,with stragglerscontinuing until early June. Persistent northeast winds,both here and in the south, apparently delayed theirarrival. Also, the lack of storms for a month didn’t help intriggering fallouts. Thus, a total of 14 species of pass-through migrants that nest to the north established newspring latest record dates, eight of which were in June.Only four pass-through species set new early arrivaldates. In addition, six species, which nest locally, set newearly arrival records. Please take time to read theSeasonal Occurrence Tables for details on these datesand some interesting high-count totals.

A big year effort by D Farbotnik, excellent worksurveying birds in the NSP area by B Etter, and coverageof preserved farmland in BLG by C Rutt addedsignificantly to the usual data. Sightings listed below atNSP and BLG should be credited to the latter twoobservers respectively unless otherwise noted. Year todate, 191 species have been seen at NSP (BE) versus 188at PVP (K Kitson). The NAMC and Birdathon resultsfrom 5/12 were near the five-year averages with 143 and155 species respectively. Overall, 227 species werereported this quarter.

The 9 reports of Red-throated Loon at PVP, NSP, LT,and the WT were more than normal (var. ob.). Common

Loons peaked at 136 on 4/14 at NSP, with many otherdouble and triple digit days, as has been the case inrecent springs. Unlike recent springs, no Red-neckedGrebes were reported. PVP peaked at 240 Double-crested Cormorants 4/13 (B McGlaughlin) and NSPhad 170 on 4/20. Single and occasionally 2 AmericanBitterns were seen leaving QTS almost nightly from4/12 to 5/10 (DF, BE) but residency was not determined.No Least Bitterns were found. A new nesting site forGreat Blue Herons with about five nests was found atthe WT in Falls Township (DF). The colony at NSP grewto five or six nests in its second year. Approximately 38nests were at QTS, which for the second year declinedafter peaking at 50 nests in 1999. A Great Horned Owlpair appropriated one of the Great Blue nests and raisedyoung, possibly providing a clue to the decrease in GreatBlues. Up to 4 Great Egrets were at RHS on 5/12 (RMercer), and the first post breeding wanderer appearedat BRD 6/27 (R French). A Snowy Egret was at RHS5/18 (DF, C Rutt). A one-year old Little Blue Heronwas in Buckingham 5/25 to 5/27 (DF). A 10 countyth

record of Yellow-crowned Night-Heron was an adultat RHS 5/18 (DF) with 3 Black-crowned Night-Herons. Unusual was a Canvasback at Buckingham5/3 (J Yerger). The only scoter report was of 5 White-winged Scoters at PVP 5/19 (DF). CommonMergansers are known to nest along the DR, but a pairat NSP well into June may indicate nesting there.

Ospreys nested again on the DR near the Philadelphiaborder (DF). Pairs spent June at PVP, NSP, and NewHope, raising speculation about future nesting (BE, AM).There were 7 in view at one time at PVP 5/23 during anevening bird walk led by RF. If that wasn’t enough, anadult and 5 immature Bald Eagles also joined thesoaring kettle! A total of 24 reports of Bald Eagles,probably consisting of as many as 20 individuals, is anindication of the recent rapid increase in this species.Only 1 was seen in April on the 5 , 13 in May with only 1th

before the 20 , and 6 in June (var. ob.). Many of theseth

are assumed to be post-breeding wandering southernbirds. About half were immature. The PennsylvaniaGame Commission predicts that nesting may soon occuron the lower DR and NSP. On 4/26, DF had a quick lookat 2 Mississippi Kites in East Rockhill Township. Hehad another much better sighting on 5/28 in NockamixonTownship., which he got on videotape. Possibly the samebird was at nearby NSP 5/30 (BE). A Rough-leggedHawk in Bedminster Township 4/10 was a stragglerfrom the good winter showing of this species (BE).Peregrine Falcons again nested on the DR with 2young fledged. Another was picked up in downtownPhiladelphia on 6/28, kept overnight at the Academy ofNatural Sciences, thought to be all right, and releasedbut was not seen again (M Sharp).

A Ruffed Grouse in Haycock Township 6/11 (BE) wasthe only report. A total of 13 species of non-residentshorebirds plus three local nesters were reported. 18Short-billed Dowitchers were at CCP on 5/21 (DF) and3 at Buckingham 5/26 (DF, AM). An increasingly rareUpland Sandpiper was seen at BLG on 4/21, while 2Pectoral Sandpipers at BRD from 4/16 to 4/20 (AM,DF) was only our fourth spring report. Only the fifthcounty report for Wilson’s Phalarope was a male in

Quakertown on 5/19 (DF). The fourth county report forRed-necked Phalarope was a female at CCP from 5/12(G DeWaghe) to 5/16 (DF). A Laughing Gull, unusualaway from the southern part of the county, was at NSPon 4/16 (BE, DF). The long-awaited first county report ofa Little Gull was with a flock of 80 Bonaparte’s Gullsat NSP 4/12 (BE). A first-year Thayer’s Gull wasreported from TLT 4/14 (MS), and 2 Iceland Gulls and aGlaucous Gull remained at TLT into May (P Lehman).No Caspian Terns were reported. A Common Tern on4/13 at NSP (AM) and 2 on 5/18 at PVP (AM, DF)represented both early and late dates. A Forster’s Ternwas at PVP 5/2 (DF, AM), and 1 was late at NSP on 5/23(DF). A single Black Tern was at NSP on 5/22. Ternreports have been declining so these were welcome. 2Barn Owl nests with 6 surviving young were found inBedminster Township (DF), showing results of a nest boxprogram. A Barred Owl was at QTS 4/25 (DF) but wasnot seen again. A Long-eared Owl at NSP 5/15 (DF) isencouraging, as this species has not been reported to nesthere in decades. A pair of Short-eared Owls lingered inBedminster Township from the winter and were seendoing mating displays, but could not be found after 4/18(BE). No Northern Saw-whet Owls were reported.

The Chuck-will’s-widow returned to Bristol in May forat least the third year (GD, DF). 2 or 3 Red-headedWoodpeckers were passing through East Rockhill 4/25to 5/5 (E Harding). The only reported probable nestingpair in the county was in nearby Haycock Township 6/23(EH). Olive-sided Flycatchers were reported inWarwick Township 5/5, and Tinicum Township 5/20 (AM,JM) and 5/28 (D Allison). A fourth on 6/1 at PVP was late(DF). Only 1 Yellow-bellied Flycatcher was reportedon 6/2 at PVP (AM). Blue-headed Vireos seemedunusually scarce. Philadelphia Vireo was reportedfrom CCP 5/12 (S Furlong) and NSP on the late date of6/5. Bank Swallow colonies were active at the Warnertract and TT (DF). Cliff Swallow colonies at PVP andCCP were smaller than normal (AM,GD) but the DRcolonies seemed healthy. Reports of 6 Marsh Wrenswere higher than normal with 1 to 2 at QTS from 5/4 to5/14 (BE), 1 in Springfield Township. 5/5 (DF), and 2 atRHS 5/18 (DF). A well studied thrush was carefullyidentified as a Bicknell’s Thrush on 5/13 through 5/16at CCP (AM, JM, DF). As a result, a previouslyunreported earlier record surfaced from 5/19/97 at TSP(GD, CDe). 2 partial albino American Robins were atPVP all spring and another was at nearby DoylestownTownship (RF, AM). All were white with a light orangebreast.

Overall, 33 species of warblers plus 1 hybrid werereported. A Lawrence’s Warbler was reported fromNSP 5/6 (DF). 20 Blue-winged Warblers were countedat NSP on 6/24, but that was considered much lowerthan the true number due to reduced calling by this date.No Golden-winged Warblers were reported for thislocally very scarce migrant. Only 2 Cape May Warblerswere reported,1 on 5/12 at Durham (H Rufe, J Rufe) and1 on 5/20 at NSP. This species is believed to havedecreased dramatically as a migrant through this area.Yellow-rumped Warbler was unusually late withseveral into the fourth week of May. 4 singing Yellow-throated Warblers were at a long time hot spot for this

species between Center Bridge and Virginia Forest on 5/2(AM, JM, DF). A count of 41 Prairie Warblers at NSPon 6/24 represents a sample of the abundance of speciesseeking similar habitat there. Bowman’s Hill remains thelast known stronghold for Cerulean Warblers withpossibly 3 pairs (AM), and 1 was seen at NSP on 5/20.The only Prothonotary Warblers reported were 2 atNSP 5/23 (EH). Kentucky Warbler was not found atthe usual Bowman’s Hill site but was found in June inHaycock Township (EH), and 6/17 at Lake Warren (CR)where they are probably regular. Yellow-breastedChats continue to find good habitat throughout NSPwith at least 5 pairs on 6/24. There used to be 7 or 8 pairsin just the experimental pool area.

A fallout of sparrows occurred at PVP on 5/5 and wasgood for its quality if not quantity. Vesper Sparrows,very rarely reported, were represented by 7 to 9individuals during the quarter: 1 was at PVP 5/5 (DF), 1at NSP 5/24, and the rest appeared on various datesbetween 4/9 and 5/23 at BLG, with a peak of 3 on 4/10.About 8 Savannah Sparrows were at PVP on 5/5. Ajuvenile with adults at NSP indicated nesting, and theyat least tried at BLG before the fields were mowed. 3Grasshopper Sparrows were in the fallout at PVP 5/5(C Crunkleton, E Ryan, DF) and 1 was still there 5/25. Avery late White-crowned Sparrow occurred on 6/10 atNSP. A Dickcissel was reported at a feeder inWarminster on 4/7 (J&S Milligan), where it had alsobeen seen only once or twice in January. A BlueGrosbeak was at PVP on 5/19 (DF) but could not berelocated, whereas 1 in Falls Township. found 5/10 (GD)and seen in June, probably represented a nesting pair.Last but not least was a Pine Siskin at PVP 5/15 firstheard by the keen ears of DF and later located at thefeeders. This was totally unexpected considering theirabsence this past fall and winter.

Exotics: A tame Chukar was sightseeing in Doylestownon 6/10 (G Hoffman).

Butler CountyLocations: Evans City (EC), Lake Arthur (LA), MoraineState Park (MSP), Wolf Creek Narrows (WCN)

A diver thought to be a Pacific Loon was studied for along time at LA 4/12 (R Stringer, D Yovanovich, GWilhelm), although GW had some reservations about theidentification. 350 Double-crested Cormorant at LA4/22 were an exceptionally high count (B Machesney etal.), as were the 100+ migrant Turkey Vulture roostingat MSP 4/14 (C&J Tague). An early Great Egret wasfound at LA 4/1 (W Shaffer). The large waterfowlnumbers of March had departed, but 220 GreaterScaup were a record count for LA and 170 Buffleheadwere noteworthy, all on 4/3 (C&F McCullough).

MSP had two Osprey nests, one with 3 young and onethat failed when the young were probably taken by aGreat Horned Owl. A nest outside the park atop a highcommunications tower contained an undeterminednumber of young. The Bald Eagle pair at Glades had 2young (see note below), and 2 subadults with red legbands continued at LA through the quarter (D Darney,DY). 5 Caspian Terns were a good count at LA 4/22

(BM et al.), where 3 Forster’s Terns 4/20 (DY) and aBlack Tern 5/4 (DY) were rare visitors.

A Northern Rough-winged Swallow 4/7 at MSP (DD,DY) was over a week early. The 2 Cliff Swallow coloniesat LA totaled at least 70 active nests (var. ob.). A WoodThrush 4/21 at EC (C Trauterman) was a a week earlierthan usual. Nesting was confirmed for MSP’s regularNorthern Mockingbird pair 5/18 when they were seenfeeding fledglings (DY). Glades is the only other breedinglocation known in the county.

Early warbler dates included 4/13 for Yellow at MSP (MFialkovich, DY), 4/8 for Black-throated Green at MSP(DY), 4/7 for Yellow-throated at WCN (BM), and 4/8 forBlack-and-white at MSP (DY). Odd visitors in a non-invasion year were single Pine Siskin at a ButlerTownship feeder 5/5 and 6/12 (DY), then 6/24 at MSP(DY,DD). There were several other one-day appearancesof 1-2 siskins in western Pennsylvania this spring.

Two interesting cases of foster parenting occurred. TheGame Commission placed a Bald Eagle nestling from ablown-down Crawford County nest into the Glades nest,and the pair successfully raised all 3 young. (Anothereaglet transferred from the destroyed nest was raised bya pair in Mercer County.) Debbie Yovanovich found aKilldeer family in her Butler Township backyard thathad adopted a chick from another family. She said theadopted bird was about a week younger than the original3 chicks. “It must have gotten separated from its parents,but it is being brooded and watched over by ‘my’ Killdeerfamily,” Debbie said.

Cambria CountyLocations: Blandburg Strips (BS), Prince Gallitzin StatePark (PGSP)

D Gobert and J Salvetti spotted two immature HoodedMergansers mid-June at Blandburg.

Northern Harrier pairs have been reported all quarterat two different locations.

The large marsh at PGSP is bisected by a busy highwayand JS “acted as a traffic cop” on 6/23 to keep VirginiaRails out of harm’s way. One was in the center of theroad when a car went by but the rail held still. JSdirected traffic as a total of five rails made the crossingsafely to the other side.

A Willet was seen at PGSP during the NAMC (5/12) byJS and DG.. JS has no previous records of Willets inCambria County, going back to 1984.

Two Short-eared Owls were found at the BS during themonth of June by DG and JS. Efforts to confirm nestingwill continue throughout the breeding season.

DG had 2 Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers take upresidence around his yard on 4/15. The male was seenconstantly feeding on a white birch tree and flying backto the same location in the woods on 6/1. While crossingthe roadway to feed in the neighbor’s yard he was struckand killed by a car. The female is still present on 6/30,but it’s not known whether the nesting was successful.

J Johns and JS continue to find evidence of breedingDark-eyed Juncos.

Centre CountyLocations: Bald Eagle State Park (BESP), BearMeadows (BM), Black Moshannon State Park (BMSP),Centre Furnace Pond (CFP)

Two very unusual birds visited the county this quarter.The first was an adult American White Pelican, whichspent a few days in mid-April at the Lower Greens Runsection of BESP (D&R Henise). The second was aWhite-winged Dove that came to a feeder inAaronsburg for several days in June (M King).

Red-throated Loons were found several days in Aprilat BESP (R Fowles, D&RH). The park also hosted anumber of Red-necked Grebes in April (RF, D&RH).American Bitterns were found in SGL 176 (MRockmore) and Toftrees (S Repasky). Waterfowlmigration continued into early May, with a good numberof species reported. The best sighting was 6 White-winged Scoters at BESP in April (D&RH). Two femaleor immature Hooded Mergansers were at CFP in StateCollege in late June, an unusual date for this species (DBordner).

As expected, Bald Eagles were observed throughout theperiod at BESP, but they were also found at severallocations in State College, and at BMSP in May andJune. Peregrine Falcons were seen at BESP (MHeath, var. ob.), and near State College (D Bryant). Bothsightings were in April.

About a half dozen species of migratory shorebirds werereported this quarter, with most records coming betweenlate April and mid-May. Only two tern species werereported, both from BESP. Caspian Terns were therein April (D&RH), while Common Terns were found inApril and June (R Snyder).

A Northern Saw-whet Owl was heard at BM in earlyMay (J Dunn). Red-headed Woodpeckers werereported through the quarter, with most sightingscoming from the Boalsburg and Centre Hall areas. APhiladelphia Vireo was at Toftrees (MR) and a Gray-cheeked Thrush was found at BM (N Bolgiano). Bothsightings were in May. Warblers seemed to return to thecounty somewhat earlier than normal, with manybreeding species arriving in the last week of April.Mourning Warblers moved through the area in lateMay; one was on the Penn State Campus (M Bribitzer-Stull) and another was in SGL 176 (MH).

The only winter finch reports came from BM. PineSiskins remained through mid April, and a PineGrosbeak was reported from the area, also in April(MH, et al)

Chester CountyLocations: Chambers Lake (CL), Embreeville CountyPark (ECP), Hibernia Park (HP), Kurtz Fish Hatchery(KFH), Marsh Creek (MC), Schuylkill River (SR), StrubleLake (SL)

Several group counts supplied some of the informationfor this quarter's report. West Chester Bird Club (WCBC)

had trips to Nottingham Park and the Chrome Barrenson 4/21, W Barber, leader; Valley Forge National HistoricPark on 4/28, R Wolf, leader; Embreeville Park on 4/29,D Davis, leader; Hibernia Park on 5/5, E Wolf, leader;Southern Chester County on 5/9, WB leader; NorthAmerican Migration Count (NAMC) on 5/12; and ValleyForge Audubon Society Spring Bird Count (VFSBC) on6/2. WCBC also has a yearly spring count from 4/15 to5/15 during which time many birders scour the countylooking for spring migrants.

For the second year in a row, J McNamara found a LeastBittern at MC. On 4/12, P Earley saw 3 Glossy Ibis in aflooded field at the corner of Route 926 and School HouseRoad, adjacent to Longwood Gardens.

Chester County now has Bald Eagles appearing fairlyregularly; they are nesting in the Cochranville area.

Sixteen species of shorebirds were seen in the county, themost notable were a Ruddy Turnstone at KFH andRed-necked Phalaropes reported from 2 locations.The most numerous shorebird were Least Sandpiperswith 42 on 5/12, 25+ on 5/14, and 14 on 5/26. Threespecies of gulls and two species of terns, Caspian andBlack, were observed.

G Saunders and other observers saw a rare RuddyTurnstone at KFH on 5/26. Also seen wereShort-billed Dowitchers, Black-bellied Plover,Semipalmated Sandpipers, a Red-neckedPhalarope, and both species of yellowlegs.

On 5/22 H Merker found 11 species of shorebirds,including 5 Short-billed Dowitchers, at KFH. On5/23-5/26, a Red-necked Phalarope was seen by GS,HM, and others at KFH. The phalarope spent most of itstime in the middle of a large group of Short-billedDowitchers (at times numbering up to 35).

On 5/21, two days earlier than the sighting at KFH, MScarpone found 3 Red-necked Phalaropes on a pondon her farm in East Brandywine Township. She said,"We had, in full breeding plumage, 3 Red-neckedPhalaropes swimming and having a bug-eating ball.They really do love to swim in a little cluster, and theyacted just like bumping cars. They stayed for 1.25 hoursand then went on their way. "

Good numbers of Bonaparte's Gulls passed through thecounty. R Robinson had the first observation at CL on 4/3with a high number of 50+ individuals, and 33 were seenon the opening day of WCBC's spring count. Flockscontinued to be seen until 4/23 when the numberdwindled to 5. A Glaucous Gull was observed at SL on4/20 and again in early May (GS, LL).

MA Knox's Purple Martin colony at Pocopson CountyHome had 20+ individuals in early May. By mid-May shecounted 30 birds.

T Fernandes had a Swainson's Thrush visiting hisyard in Willistown Township from 4/29 to 5/23. TF alsoreported a Mourning Warbler on his property from5/20-5/22.

Cerulean Warblers, probably nesting this year along

the Struble Trail, caused much excitement. Up to threewere observed there by many people. CeruleanWarblers were also sighted at HP on 5/5 and 5/10.

J Mclaughlin (JMn), Wild Bird Center of Exton, reportedthat a pair of Prothonotary Warblers were nestingalong the SR in Phoenixville. He filed a report on 5/10stating that he had seen the male for about 2 weeks andon 5/10 observed a female carrying nesting material to atree cavity along the river bank.

At Church Farm School on 5/9 HM and GS found 2Common Yellowthroats wearing bands that werepresumed to be from Bill Elrick's banding program thetwo previous years.

T Drozdowski saw a Clay-colored Sparrow at ECP on4/30. It then flew and he was not able to locate it again.Details were submitted.

JMn noted that 5/10 was a good migration day withBaltimore Orioles, Orchard Orioles, Gray Catbirds,Cedar Waxwings, and Red-winged Blackbirds seenin large numbers along the SR in Phoenixville.

Clarion CountyLocations: Cook Forest (CF), Curlsville (CV), Mt.Airy(MA), Mt. Zion (MZ)

Local strip mines had more Northern Harriers thanusual. At Mt. Zion, G Edwards confirmed two nests witha total of 10 young on 6/24. Probable nesting occurred atCurlsville and Mt. Airy also. Another NorthernGoshawk: nest in northern Clarion County had twofledglings in May.

An Upland Sandpiper was first seen on 6/3 at Mt. Airy(P Conway et al). On 6/4 W Fye found 6 in same area.Territorial behavior was seen there later in June by MBuckwalter.

Frequent sightings of Short-eared Owls displayingcourtship behavior on local strip mines in March andApril led to finding of 5 young at Mt Zion on 6/16 by PtCand of 10 total on 6/17 by WF. Nesting was probably atCurlsville and Mt.Airy also.

One Red-headed Woodpecker was seen frequentlybetween 5/2 and 5/9 by R Montgomery on his property atStrattanville. It was acting territorially, especially withrespect to a Red-bellied Woodpecker, but no otherRed-headed ever appeared to complete the pair.

D Luthringer saw a pair of Northern Waterthrushesfeeding two young along Tom's Run in CF on 5/9. : Astrange hybrid Blue-winged x Golden-wingedWarbler resembling neither the Lawrence or Brewster’shybrids was found at MZ on 5/12 by J Fedak during the"Winged Warbler Survey". A Kirtland's Warbler wasfound at MZ on 5/12, singing in a pine plantation withClay-colored Sparrows (JF) .

A Dickcissel was seen at MA on 6/3 (PtC) and 2 wereseen in same place on 6/23 by J&C Rowe. Clay-coloredSparrows were seen from 6/2 on at MZ (var. ob.). Themost seen at one place were 4 by M Fialkovich on 6/17.On 6/6 on the Grassland Breeding Bird Survey route in

PENNSYLVANIA BIRDS 107 2001 – VOLUME 15 NO. 2

Clarion County, JF found a total of six individuals, threeat MZ, two and one at two other stops respectively. Theyare spreading from the original location at MZ.

Clearfield CountyBy far the most interesting report for the quarter was aClay-colored Sparrow seen on 5/3. A singing bird wasfound outside of Shawville in May (J McWilliams). InJune, another birder (D Huber) found 3 singing birds ona reclaimed strip mine just over the county line fromPhilipsburg while looking for Henslow’s Sparrows. Anumber of other birders visited the site, and there was atleast one report of a bird carrying food to a nesting site(D Hoffman, C Blatchley). Quite a few Henslow’sSparrows were found in the general area, as well asseveral Willow Flycatchers and a nesting pair ofOrchard Orioles.

Clinton CountyLocations: Swissdale (SW), Woolrich (WR)

Winter finches were generally absent during the previousquarter but in early April Purple Finches made anappearance with a high of 12 on 4/8 in Swissdale (WLaubscher). The first Whip-poor-will report was on 4/12in Swissdale (WL). During a saw-whet owl toot route, animpressive 19 Whip-poor-wills were recorded inWoolrich (WL, D Rockey). A Northern Saw-whet Owlwas heard on 6/13 in the Keating area (WL, S Bason). Alone Pine Siskin was seen on 4/24 in Swissdale (WL)and a single Red-breasted Nuthatch was observed on6/30 in Woolrich (B Brobst). An American Bitternsighted on 4/5 in Mill Hall was the first for the year (SHunter) and a high of 4 on 4/23 brought hopes ofbreeding, however breeding was unconfirmed thisquarter. A good variety of waterfowl moved through earlyApril. Numerous species of wood warblers were observedduring the quarter (var. ob.).

Columbia CountyLocations: Susquehanna River (SR)

Bald Eagles continued to be seen along the SR as wellas “inland.” A group of 21 Common Mergansers at myplace in early April was unusual in that it containedmore females than males.

The Bank Swallow colony using a sand bank “quarry”on the outskirts of Berwick was significantly smallerthan in past years. The sand bank face had been“renewed” yearly by sand removal for use at a nearbyhousing development during the fall and winter months.Unfortunately?! the development is complete and thebank face is growing up in weeds and small shrubs.

Some warblers were a little late this year and seemed totrickle through rather than pass in distinctive waves.Thrushes, vireos, and the like seemed a bit late but thatmay have been related to the apparent cancellation ofspring this year. Grassland species probably had a toughseason as mowing operations were well underway in veryearly June.

Crawford CountyLocations: Conneaut Marsh (CM), Erie NationalWildlife Refuge (ENWR), Hartstown Marsh (HTM),

Pymatuning Lake (PL), Woodcock Lake (WL)

Despite a long cold wet spring, several species returnedvery early. A good number and variety of ducks werenoted.

Single Trumpeter Swans were found at HTM from 3/13to 4/8 (M Byler), and at CM 4/16 (R Leberman). Twofamily groups of Hooded Mergansers at the LinesvilleFish Hatchery 6/20; a female with 7 young, and anotherwith 8 young (RL).

Two adult Golden Eagle at Custards, CM 4/17 on oneside of the road, and an adult Bald Eagle on the otherside (RL). Bald Eagles are doing well here with 8 activenests in Crawford County producing 7 fledglings. MBreported Sharp-shinned Hawks nested at HTM as wellas Red-shouldered Hawks. Pymatuning Laboratory ofEcology resident A Bledsoe reported 2 Sandhill Cranesat PL near the spillway 5/16 and 18, probably the sameindividuals. Another was reported to be seen at GuysMills near the ENWR (I Field). A Caspian Tern foundat WL 4/6 was about one week early (RL). There weretwo reports of Northern Mockingbird: one at HTM5/15 (MB), and one near Springboard 6/15 (TC Nicholls).A Brewster’s Warbler was seen 4/26 & 29 at HTM(MB). 2 pairs of Orchard Orioles were found raisingyoung at WL 6/25 (IF). Some good news for the BlackTerns and shorebirds this summer is the effort by thePennsylvania Game Commission to improve thedeplorable weed conditions at HTM. Each year for thenext five years, they plan to dry up a small section at atime to open up the marsh, so birds can find much betterfeeding conditions. The marsh has been taken over inthe last ten years by Spatterdock and other weeds. Thefirst phase, now underway at the bridge in Hartstown,could be a good spot for shorebirds this fall. This areawill be flooded again in the spring.

Cumberland CountyThe migration in Cumberland County was a bit atypical.It seems that southerly winds and non-stormy dayspushed many northbound migrants right over us. I don’thave any information regarding any kind of fallout. I,being out a few times in the area, had to hunt and peckto find all of the usual suspects this spring. It was arather disappointing northbound migration.

The Yellow-crowned Night-Herons that nest alongthe Conodoguinet Creek near West Fairview were againback this year. The first returnee was spotted 4/15. Byquarter’s end, a total of four nests had been found.

A male Blue Grosbeak frequented a feeder nearCarlisle starting in late April and continued through theend of the quarter being joined by a female beginning inearly June. It is hoped that a nest site was nearbyalthough none was located by quarter’s end (R Freed).

Lastly, the most surprising sighting of the quarter wasfound while guiding a California birder in search ofBlack-billed Cuckoo. While the day produced no Black-billed Cuckoos, it did produce 2 male Red Crossbills atCamp Michaux on the unusual date of 6/25! The birdswere first heard calling as they were flying overhead,then luckily they landed at the top of a tall Norway

Spruce allowing us to view them in a scope for a minuteor so. I know that crossbills of both species can nest atany time of the year. It is all dependent on food. I don’tfor the life of me know why 2 male Red Crossbills were inCumberland County in late June; maybe they were 2lonely bachelors out for a spin! (D Hoffman, M Meyers).

Dauphin CountyLocations: Fishing Creek Valley (FCV), Stony Valley(SV), Susquehanna River (SR), Wildwood Lake (WL)

The seasonal waterfowl migration along the SRcontinued with most of the species reported in Marchlingering into April or early May. New arrivals includedLong-tailed Duck at Harrisburg 4/4 (R Koury), Red-throated Loon, Red-necked Grebe, and Ruddy Duck4/8 viewed from Marysville (D Bogar). Bonaparte'sGulls continued to be observed along the river throughApril with hundreds consistently reported during a two-week period in mid-April from Harrisburg to Dauphin(RK, R Williams, et.al.). A Little Gull was discoveredamong the Bonaparte's Gulls at Harrisburg 4/15 (DHumbert).

Pine Siskins lingered to 4/2 and Purple finches to4/19 at a Carsonville feeder (J&J Funck). More than 30Common Snipe settled in to a wet pasture in EastHanover Township north of Hershey 4/10 (S&R Zanio).Rusty Blackbirds were reported at WL 4/22 (RK).

The annual Wade Island Nest Survey was conducted 5/1.This year's count included 166 Great Egret nests, whichhas remained relatively constant over the past decade.Unfortunately the same is not true for Black-crownedNight-Herons. Only 93 nests were counted this year,which continues a rather steady decline from the 1990high of 345 nests. The Double-crested Cormorantnests continue to increase, up from the first onediscovered in 1996 to 11 this year (C Dunn). Unlike lastyear 3 of the 4 fledged Peregrine Falcons from theRachel Carson Building nest in Harrisburg survived theearly and most challenging phase of falconhood. The pairof Bald Eagles, after abandoning their nest last year,returned to Haldeman Island and produced 3 young. Asecond Bald Eagle nest on Crafts Island yielded yetanother national bird (D Brauning). And finally, theBarn Owls nesting on a farm south of Hershey wereraising 4 owlets at quarter's end (J Brandt).

The annual NAMC yielded 137 species this year, downfrom the 150-160 totals of recent years. Some of thehighlights on count day 5/12 included a pair of SnowyEgrets found along Red Top Road (BC & RW) and 2Caspian Terns near Linglestown (JB). 4 CommonNighthawks were found along the SR just north ofHarrisburg (G Labelle & J Church), and a PhiladelphiaVireo was found in FCV (D Franz).

More than 50 American Pipits were reported in thefarm fields east of Hershey 5/2 (RW) and a PurpleMartin was seen at WL 5/5 (J Barnette). Shorebirdsightings were scarce with the most notable being aSemipalmated Plover south of Hershey 5/26 (RW) and2 Black-bellied Plovers located on the river fromMarysville (DBog). The best warbler finds included aConnecticut Warbler reported from SV 5/23 (T Smith)

and the possibility of a Blue-winged/Golden-wingedWarbler hybrid location in SGL 246 south ofHummelstown (J&P Fox).

Delaware CountyLocations: Delaware River (DR), John Heinz NationalWildlife Refuge (JHNWR), Ridley Creek State Park(RCSP), Rose Tree Park Hawk Watch (RTPHW),Springton Reservoir (SR)

In April the RTPHW counted 1825 migrating raptors of15 species, and a Red-throated Loon and Glossy Ibison 4/7 (J Lockyer, D Washabaugh). Migrating BaldEagles totaled 8, but a nesting pair along the DRprovided sightings in the Tinicum/Essington areathroughout the quarter. A Golden Eagle passed on 4/17(var. ob.). More than 80% of the 941 Broad-wingedHawks flew over 4/13-4/17 , and one pair remained tonest successfully in Media (D McGovern). In addition tothe 2 Peregrine Falcons over RTPHW, thePennsylvania side of the Commodore Barry Bridgehosted a nest with 3 chicks hatched, but only 1 fledged(M Sharp).

On 6/17 N Pulcinella found a record late female RuddyDuck on SR. A Northern Bobwhite visited AGuarente's Middletown store 6/12.

Shorebirds in the mitigation area of JHNWR on 5/31included a Semipalmated Plover, over 450Semipalmated Sandpipers and 10 Least Sandpipers(AG, J Miller). Along the DR at Ft. Miffiin on 4/26 were apair of Solitary Sandpipers and 33 Common Snipe(JM). 7 Bonaparte's Gulls passed Marcus Hook on 4/8(AG). Forster's Terns were seen in each month of thequarter and a lone Caspian Tern was spotted overRCSP on 4/21 (AG). On 5/23, AG saw 100+ RuddyTurnstone over RTPHW.

Common Nighthawks arrived at Haverford College on5/13 (S Johnson). RCSP hosted an Olive-sidedFlycatcher 6/7 and a Least Flycatcher on 5/19 (AG).Cliff Swallows returned to the bridge at SR (NP). Red-breasted Nuthatches were seen in Media 4/30 (DM).Thirty species of warbler were reported, but not CapeMay, Cerulean, Golden-winged or Mourning.Prothonotary Warblers were at the Darlington Tracton 4/23 and at the RCSP Bridle Trail on 5/24 (NP, AG). Afemale Black-and-white Warbler was found at RCSPon 6/17 suggesting a possible nesting. Seven observerscounted 3,022 birds on the 5/12 NAMC. Bobolink andEastern Meadowlark were reported only on that day.High species counts on the seasonal chart dated 5/12 arefrom that count (JL).

In grassy fields at the airport 40 Savannah Sparrowswere seen 4/13 and a singing male was found 6/17, butnesting was not confirmed (AG). A Lincoln's Sparrowstopped at AG's Middletown feeder on 4/29. 172 specieswere reported.

Erie CountyExcept for the usual and not so usual rare sightings itwas a rather mundane spring migration. It seemedspring would never arrive in northwestern Pennsylvaniawith cold north wind and plenty of rain remaining to late

May. Despite the less than desirable weather conditions,there were some earlier than expected spring migrants,especially Bank and Cliff Swallows. When the weatherdid turn to more spring-like conditions in late May, manymigrants were still passing through in good numberswell into June. Probably the most outstanding find of theseason was the Boreal Owl that D Darney located onPresque Isle State Park while searching for NorthernSaw-whet Owls to band. Further details of this event canbe found elsewhere in this issue.

Fayette CountyLocations: Bear Run Nature Reserve (BRNR), Jacob’sCreek Lake (JCL), Mill Run Reservoir (MRR), OhiopyleState Park (OSP)

A Red-throated Loon spent 4/15-20 on JCL (D Lauffer)which was a great bird for the county.

Shorebirds at MRR 4/30 included a Killdeer, a GreaterYellowlegs, a Lesser Yellowlegs, a SolitarySandpiper, a Spotted Sandpiper, and a LeastSandpiper (M McConaughy).

A Barred Owl was found 4/13 at BRNR (J Walko). AtOSP on 5/5, 4 Yellow-throated Vireos were singingand showing well (M Fialkovich, D Rieger, J Hoffmann).A Blue-headed Vireo and a Warbling Vireo were seen4/30 (JH, M Kern). The Cliff and Barn Swallow colonyon the bridge at Ohiopyle is still active (MF).

An outing to the brushy fields at OSP produced 4 singingmale Golden-winged Warblers, 2 Blue-wingeds, 5Chestnut-sideds , 2 Prairies , 4 CommonYellowthroats, and 3 Yellow-breasted Chats (var.ob.). Other warblers seen and heard at the park that dayincluded 4 Northern Parulas, 14 AmericanRedstarts, 6 Yellows, a Black-throated Blue, 3Black-throated Greens, 5 Ceruleans, 6 Black-and-whites, 6 Ovenbirds, 1 Louisiana Waterthrush, 2Kentucky Warblers, and 7 Hoodeds (var. ob.). 2Worm-eating Warblers were heard also (JH, MK).

Just outside OSP on 5/5, a Palm Warbler was a nicefind feeding on the ground (JH).

A territorial dispute between Kentucky Warblers wasobserved 5/5 at OSP. The birds were dashing through theundergrowth and were so occupied with their disputethat they would perch in the open very close to the groupof birders watching them. Many in the group had theirbest looks at Kentucky Warblers ever.

Forest CountyLocations: Allegheny National Forest (ANF), BeaverMeadows (BM), Buzzard Swamp (BS), Cook Forest StatePark (CFSP)

Northern Goshawks highlighted this quarter, as 2active nests were discovered in the county (var. ob.). Anactive Bald Eagle nest with 2 young was reported atTrunkeyville by D Brauning.

A Rough-legged Hawk was spotted at BS on 4/8(F&JM) and another at BM on 4/15 by C&F McCullough.

A "Toot Route" on 5/9 produced 13 Whip-poor-wills,

while another on 5/31 yielded 3 Northern Saw-whetOwls (F&JM).

2 Olive-sided Flycatchers were seen during migration- 1 at CFSP on 5/17 (R Stringer), and another in the ANFnear Tionesta on 5/24 (FM). A Horned Lark was a goodfind at CFSP on 5/12 (DL).

In the Red Brush area 10 Golden-winged Warblerswere found on 5/10, and a male Brewster’s Warblerwas identified on 5/23. A Bay-breasted Warbler was asurprise in a Tionesta yard on 6/6 (F&JM).

A flock of 160 American Goldfinches were seen atCFSP on 4/21 (DL).

Franklin CountyA nesting pair of Great Horned Owls gave manyobservers an excellent view of how they raise theiryoung. The nest was very easy to see from the Long LaneRoad, and everyone was able to see the young as theygrew and finally left the nest in June; a sight that isoften difficult to observe.

The waterfowl and warbler migration was not asproductive as usual this year. There were considerablyfewer reported sightings of ducks and shorebirds, andlower numbers of warblers were found, although thevariety of warbler species was good. The only exceptionwas the Yellow Warbler which seemed to be present inexcellent numbers.

Large numbers of Horned Larks were noted in April inseveral areas of the county.

Fulton CountyLocations: Cowans Gap (CG), Haines_Seville WetlandsRestoration Area (HSWRA), Meadow Grounds Lake(MGL)

Some interesting transient waterbirds alighted on countywaterways this quarter. On 4/13, 2 Trumpeter Swans(origin unknown) were located at HSWRA. Neither birdhad a neck or leg band, but were both were relativelytame. A 4/14 HSWRA morning visit did not relocate thepair. Unfavorable weather conditions at CG and MGL on4/16 created a fallout of Long-tailed Ducks and White-winged Scoters. An uncommon spring migrant inFulton, 2 Great Egrets were noted along a Buck Valleypond 4/6. A lone Forster's Tern was at MGL on 4/13.

On 4/13, 13 migrant Fish Crows were observed near asmall Buck Valley farmer's pond. In Fulton, the past fiveyears has seen an increase in frequency of this southerncorvid.

Along the Fingerboard Road pond bare embankment, aflock of 6 Vesper Sparrows and 1 Chipping Sparrowwas discovered on 4/6. This was the first year Iparticipated in the CREP bird monitoring program inFulton. Some CREP highlights included 2 singing BlueGrosbeaks on Fulton Route # I (near Plum Run) 6/17and a singing migrant Lincoln's Sparrow along FultonRoute #2 (near Sipes Mill) 5/15. All the CREP routesseem to reveal good numbers for Field Sparrows,Grasshopper Sparrows, and Eastern Meadowlarks.

PENNSYLVANIA BIRDS 110 2001 – VOLUME 15 NO. 2

Greene CountyAlways keeping a watchful eye on his offspring, RalphBell reported the first American Kestrel young wereout of the box on 6/20. His Purple Martin colony hadfledged at least 2 young by 6/20 with many morefollowing.

Every spring Mr. Bell hosts the Pittsburgh AudubonSociety for a field trip at his farm. The 50 or so birdersrange in age and experience from very young to verymature. Many have an agenda. "I want to see a CeruleanWarbler," is a common goal. Ralph tells them he won'tpromise seeing one, but will pretty much guaranteehearing one. But again this year, as if on his cue, theCerulean Warblers were not only heard but were seenand quite a good look was had by any who wished. ARuby-throated Hummingbird nest was found hangingover the road, and the female was very patient while ascope was trained on her in the nest and many birdershad an excellent view.

After a picnic lunch, as the birders were loading up to gosee a Great Blue Heron rookery, a lone adult BaldEagle flew over.

Also reported this quarter by R Bell, a nesting pair ofBobolinks on his property -- the first since 1965. Alsonoteworthy, Bobolinks were found at more sites on theNAMC this year in Greene County. The 12 Bobolinksreported on the NAMC this year are the highest numbersince 1993 when 6 were found. Also 4 Whip-poor-willswere reported which is the highest since 1993.

A Brewster's Warbler was identified in SGL 223 by KReeves. The song was that of a Golden-winged Warbler,but the singer was bright yellow all over with blue wings.The bird was found again on a subsequent visit by KKern. A Lawrence's Warbler was found in the Garad'sFort area during a Breeding Bird Survey (RB, KK), butwas not present on a subsequent visit. It sang theGolden-winged song, but had no black facial markings.The face and underparts were yellow with a gray napeand back.

Prior to active nesting, at least sixteen nest structureswere counted at the undisclosed site of a Great BlueHeron colony in RSF (G Grove). Female HoodedMergansers with young were noted at two locationsduring May -- in Stone Valley (D Wentzel) and at the OldCrow Wetlands in Huntingdon (GG).

The TM spring hawkwatch was very successful with full-time coverage from late February through late April.Highlights included a season total of 162 GoldenEagles, a Swainson’s Hawk on 4/11, and 2,173 Broad-winged Hawks on 4/11. Two Northern Goshawknests were found in the county during the spring season.

Notable shorebirds included 1 Dunlin at OC 5/12-15(D&T Kyler) -- a first county record to the best of ourknowledge. 2 Short-billed Dowitchers nearMarklesburg on 5/5 are the second known county record.

The Kylers found 4 Least Sandpipers at OC and 3Common Terns at Lake Raystown on 5/12.

Northern Saw-whet Owls were found at four locationsin RSF during May (GG). A total of 53 Whip-poor-willswere counted at 70 stops in RSF on informal night-timecounts during early June (GG).

In general, local observers rated the spring migration ofwarblers and other passerines to be below average fornumbers and diversity. A Philadelphia Vireo was atGFSP on 5/11.

Indiana CountyLocations: Conemaugh Dam (CD), White’s Woods(WW), Yellow Creek State Park (YCSP)

The spring migration yielded many highlights. AnAmerican Bittern visited a small woodland pond atNolo 4/4 (A Beatty, G Lamer). A Little Blue Heronnoted on the NAMC near Smicksburg (M McConaughy, FMoore, N Smeltzer) was a third county record. A Black-crowned Night-Heron, an eighth county record, wasfound at YCSP 4/25 (B&C Jackman). The waterfowlmigration continued into the second quarter at YCSPwith many species reaching peak numbers on 4/3 (LCarnahan, J Henry, M Strittmatter, J Taylor).Shorebirds dribbled through the county in smallnumbers, but YCSP yielded 2 Black-bellied Ploversand a Ruddy Turnstone on 5/12 (GL, G Syster).Wildlife Conservation Officer Patrick Snickles wassurprised when he flushed a flock of 16 AmericanWoodcocks at Mahoning SGL 4/16.

M Cunkelman started her NAMC day with a Short-eared Owl, the first May record for the county. At least1 owl was present throughout the quarter, but breedingwas not confirmed. A Red-headed Woodpecker waspresent on CD property 5/12 (M&E Fowles, D Lauffer). SGraff found a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher at WW on5/12 and was able to document it by tape recording itscall. Red-breasted Nuthatches once again nested nearShelocta. The warbler migration was unremarkable withno major fallouts. As a result, the NAMC was more of abreeding bird count than a migration count. However, 6Common Redpolls visiting D Clark's feeder on 5/12were very late.

Juniata CountyThe Barn Owls are again nesting in the county thisyear. So far 2 nests have been reported in the “Van Wert”area. One nest had 2 young (which were banded), and theother nest had 5 young of various ages. These two nestsare 2/10 of a mile apart, both in silos.

At our Purple Martin colony site on 5/23, we found asub-adult (immature) female Purple Martin that wasborn and banded in Nappanee, Indiana in 2000. This 10-month-old female stayed and nested successfully at ourcolony site near Mifflintown. This is over 440 miles fromher home in the mid-west.

Lackawanna CountyLocations: Ford’s Pond (FP), Gravel Pond (GP)

In limited birding in Lackawanna County I found 74species. Among the highlights were: Common Loons atGP from 4/7 to 4/26, Pied-billed Grebes 4/14 and 4/26at FP, Horned Grebe 4/14 at GP, Double-crestedCormorants at GP 4/14-4/22 with a high of 7 on 4/15,and an American Bittern 4/13 at FP.

A Black Vulture 5/24 was seen in flight near a TurkeyVulture uphill from Allied Services. This is apparentlythe first record for Lackawanna County.

Mute Swan -- In Pennsylvania Birds Vol. 14, No.4(2000) p. 247 I reported that 2 domestic mute swans hadbeen brought to GP by the residents at the lake, and thata male mute swan had stolen the domestic female fromthe domestic male. Early in 2001, when GP finally frozeover, the domestic swans were taken inside and the wildmale went elsewhere. When GP opened up this spring,the swans were released again at GP. A few days later,the wild male reappeared and tried to take the femaleagain. After a few days the 2 males got into a fight, thewild swan grabbed the domestic male by the throat andkilled it. Some of the residents wanted to kill the wildmale swan, but a friend of mine said, "Why kill the maleswan for doing what swans do?" His wisdom prevailed.Now comes a question: 2 young swans have beenproduced. Are they wild or domestic?

Lancaster CountyLocations: Conejohela Flats (CF), Middlecreek WildlifeManagement Area (MCWMA), Susquehanna River (SR)

This spring the temperature was slightly below normaland, although there were patches of heavythunderstorms, the precipitation also fell below normal.Early in the quarter several Plegadis species, most likelyGlossy Ibis, were sighted on the CF on 4/15 & 4/28 (BSchutsky). A Eurasian Wigeon was seen on the flats on4/15 (BS). This spring was an unusual year forMississippi Kites and several were sighted inLancaster County. 1 was found at MC on 5/2 (DHoffman), 2 were sighted at Breezyview Overlook nearColumbia (J Yoder), and 1 was found dead at MCWMAon 5/27. I also received a second-hand report of Swallow-tailed Kite at MCWMA in May (R Miller).

This year was another good year for shorebirds on theCF, demonstrating once again just how important thishabitat is to shorebirds in Pennsylvania. Sightings hereincluded 2 American Avocet on 5/26-27 (D Heathcote, JMitterer), several sightings of Whimbrel from 5/23-5/29(JM, P&J Fox, et. al.), and Red Knot on 5/23 (JB, DHo ).Early April also brought huge numbers of Bonaparte'sGulls when over 4,000 were seen on the SR nearAccomac on 4/14 (DH). The Bonaparte's also brought 2Little Gulls on 4/3 (DHo) and a Black-headed Gull on4/14 (DH). A Black-headed Gull was also seen andphotographed on the flats on 5/8 & 5/18 (BS, J Book, et.al.).

Terns were also represented in force this year when thefour “normal” tern species were joined at the flats by asingle Least Tern on 5/24 (JB) and 2 on 6/2 (BS). Least

Terns have become annual in recent years, but the 2Arctic Terns seen on the SR just south of Columbiafrom 5/22-23 most likely represented a first county record(J Horn, BS, JB, JM et al).

Lawrence CountyLocations: Black Swamp (BS), Edinburg Lake (EL),Volant Strips (VS)

B&G Dean saw, a record number of Double-crestedCormorants (61) at EL on 4/24. A Great Egret was agood find at the Beaver Ponds on the Mercer/LawrenceCounty line by L Wagner on 4/19. 4 Blue-winged Tealseen on the NAMC give rise to possibility of local nestingof this species. The Deans discovered a HoodedMerganser with 5 young on May 21.

An adult Bald Eagle was an unexpected find at BS on4/27 by an out-of-town birder. At least 2 pairs ofNorthern Harriers were being seen regularly over theVS. Red-Shouldered Hawks have exploded in thecounty in the last few years.

Upland Sandpipers have traditionally been found inthe Vosler Road area of the county. This is the secondyear in which only 1 bird has been found. An outstandingfind on April 21 was made by the Deans when theylocated 100+ Common Snipe migrating in the AmishArea.

During the Toot Route 3 Northern Saw-Whet Owlswere called up in June. Golden-crowned Kinglets arebelieved to be nesting in SGL 151. A single AmericanPipit was a welcome addition to the NAMC.

Warblers produced few surprises and their numbers werethought to be down in general. A Prairie Warbler was arare treat just off Vosler Road on 5/15 (possibly onterritory?). A Prothonotary Warbler was another fineaddition to the quarter, discovered by the Deans on 5/21in SGL 151.

Grassland sparrow species are holding their own in mostplaces. VS is seeing encroachment which makes onewonder how long this area will remain a stellar area forso many species. A single Pine Siskin was found onElgador Lane on April (LW).

The creme de la creme was the White-winged Dovediscovered by C Gonzalez in her yard in early June,remaining about 10 days.

Lebanon CountyLocations: Memorial Lake State Park (MLSP),Middlecreek Wildlife Management Area (MCWMA),Stony Valley (SV), Swatara State Park (SSP)

A flock of 40 Common Loons at MLSP on 4/12 was thelargest group found this year (R Spreha). On 4/24 a flockof 29 Common Loons were seen flying north overSGL.145 (R Miller). Horned Grebes peaked with 12 atMLSP on 4/16, all in breeding plumage (RM, T Hobsin). 3Red-necked Grebes made a rare appearance at MLSPon 4/8. It has been 9 years since they were last reported(RM, B Weaver).

An American Bittern was found at Reistville on 5/12

On 4/16 a flock of 40Greater Scaup was found on MLSP (RM, TH). 3 White-winged Scoters at MLSP on 4/16 were nice to see (RM,TH). 12 Long-tailed Duck at MLSP on 4/12 was a nicefind. Buffleheads peaked with 75 at MLSP on 4/16 (RM,TH). A Common Merganser was found at SSP 5/12 fora new late date (G Boltz). A flock of 86 Ruddy Duckswas also found at MLSP on 4/16 (RM, TH).

An adult Mississippi Kite was seen on 5/2 at MCWMAat stop # 3 for the 5 Lebanon County report (Dth

Hoffman). An adult Golden Eagle was seen flying southat SSP on 5/20 (BW).

American Coots peaked with 79 at MLSP 4/16 for anew county high (RM). A Greater Yellowlegs set a newlate date on 5/26 at MCWMA (RM). A Dunlin atMCWMA on 5/19 was a good find (GB et al). A maleWilson’s Phalarope made a short stop at MCWMA on5/19 for a third county and first spring record (GB, RM,et al.).

Bonaparte’s Gulls were found only once, 6 on 4/16 atMLSP (RM). 5 Caspian Terns at MLSP on 5/27 was anice find (RM, K Miller). Single Common Terns made 2appearances for the 3 and 4 county records 5/11(RM)rd th

and 5/19 (var. ob.) at MCWMA. The 5/11 Common Ternwas following a flock of 20 Forster’s Terns at MCWMAfor a new county high and late date. As the Forster’sTerns flew north out of MCWMA they were observedflying in a tight mass.

11 Yellow-billed Cuckoos were found in SV on 6/8(RM, AM). 8 Whip-poor-wills were found at FortIndiantown Gap on 5/12 (J Houis). On SGL 145 a total of15 Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers were counted on 4/10 fora new county high (AM). 1 Yellow-bellied Flycatcherwas calling on 5/14 at SGL 145 (RM). On 6/8, 35Acadian Flycatchers were counted in SV, and 8Willow Flycatchers were found in the county for a newcounty high on 5/19. On 5/12, 24 Eastern Phoebes, 35Great-crested Flycatchers, and 29 EasternKingbirds were found during the NAMC for new countyhighs.

A Blue-headed Vireo on 4/13 at SGL 145 was early(AM). A total of 270 Red-eyed Vireos were counted inSV 6/8 for a new county high (RM, AM).

Fish Crows set a new county high with 141 on 5/12 inLebanon County(var. ob.). Common Ravens weresighted numerous times throughout the quarter. 2 werebeing feed suet in the Spring Hill Acres area most of thequarter, but no nest yet (S Wheeler). Horned Larkspeaked with 1,500 near Annville on 4/8 (RM). They werealso heard displaying in early May in the same area (SMiller). Up to 7 territorial male Winter Wrens werefound in the SV to the end of the quarter, a new county.breeding record.

Veeries totaled 46 on the NAMC 5/12 for a new countyhigh. 2 Gray-cheeked Thrushes were found, the firston 5/12 on SGL 145 (RM), and the 2 was singing in SVnd

5/19 (RM, F Heilman), and 285 Wood Thrush were

found during the NAMC for a new county high. On 5/12332 Gray Catbirds and 29 Brown Thrashers werefound to set new county highs.

Warblers made a good showing with 30 species beingfound. Blue-winged Warbler on 5/12 set anothercounty high with 26 counted. Golden-winged Warblerswere found 5/5 (RM) and 5/23 (SW) on SGL 145; 78Yellow Warblers were recorded on 5/12 for a newcounty high.

Luzerne CountyLocations: Bear Creek Lake (BCL), Francis SlocumState Park (FSSP), Harvey's Lake (HL), SusquehannaRiver (SR), White Haven (WH)

There were 153 species observed on the 5/12 NAMC asreported by compiler J Shoemaker -- a great job by Jimand everyone who enjoyed birding some parts of the dayor night during this event. Big finds were Henslow’sSparrow, Alder Flycatcher, Virginia Rail andPurple Martin by the team of A Gregory and A Pfeiffer,also Mourning Warbler and Pectoral Sandpiper by SGoodwin and B Wasilewski.

Black-crowned Night-Herons were secretive thisquarter but were often spotted flying along the SR by JS.A great variety of shorebirds visited various habitats.Short-billed Dowitcher, White-rumped Sandpipers,Semipalmated Plovers and SemipalmatedSandpipers were at the mud flats in Plains. Dunlins,yellowlegs, Least Sandpipers and Ruddy Turnstone(3 county record) 5/18, at the mud flats in Plymouth.rd

The gravel beds on the SR in Wyoming attractedDunlins , Short-billed Dowitchers , RuddyTurnstone and peeps. BCL's exposed edges and grassybarrens from recent dam repair offered brief feedingopportunities for 4 species of peeps. The prize was aBaird's Sandpiper 5/23, feeding with 3 White-rumpedSandpipers. The Baird's, which has not been reportedin Luzerne in over a decade, was a LIFER for S Galantyand R Koval. Another shorebird, Upland Sandpiper,not reported in Luzerne in nearly 20 years, was seenfeeding in the reclaimed grasslands at the formerEastside Landfill 4/30 (RK and J Hoyson).

A late Great Black-backed Gull 5/14 found by B Reidat Wyoming. A Red-headed Woodpecker seen only on6/13 by SG at FSSP was a great find as was his 4/29Prothonotary Warbler at Kirby Park. D Grosscontinues to provide detailed reports and updates on therarer species like Bald Eagle, Yellow-belliedFlycatchers, Northern Saw-whet Owls, CeruleanWarblers, herp species, butterflies and wildflowers.

relocated our local state-endangered Peregrine Falconsnesting on a different bridge in Wilkes Barre. Commonreports of uncommon birds this nesting season were ofOrchard Orioles, Yellow-breasted Chats and VesperSparrows while the commons that were uncommoninclude Nashville and Black-throated Blue Warblers,Yellow-throated Vireos and Common Nighthawks.

E Johnson continues to patrol HL for waterfowl and hisneighborhood for Red-breasted Nuthatches. A Gregorymonitors the Hazleton Area Grasslands for HornedLarks and Savannah Sparrows. Thanks to all of youfor your efforts. An Olive-sided Flycatcher was seen ata bog in WH on 5/27 (JH, RK) during a Big Day, but abigger Big Day reported 139 species for a LuzerneCounty record (RK, S Galanty). The biggest BIG DAYgoes to B Reid who reported his 100th DAY of 100 birdsseen in one DAY! Congratulations.

Lycoming CountyA single Red-throated Loon in winter plumageappeared on a small farm pond in Eldred Township on4/14 and remained for two weeks (D Ferry). As BaldEagles continue to expand across Pennsylvania, a newnest was discovered in Pine Creek (E&T Reish).However, the pair were apparently unsuccessful infledging any young. A high count of 50+ Yellow-rumpedWarblers was observed at SGL 252 on 4/26 (J Yoder).Kentucky Warblers were discovered on 6/15 along PineCreek on a BBS route (D Brauning). This species wasthought to have been breeding in Lycoming County buthad yet to be discovered.

Mercer CountyLocations: Hamburg (HMB), Lake Wilhelm (LW), PensySwamp (PS), Shenango River Reservoir (SRR)

Exceptional sightings were the American Bittern 4/9 atWilliamson Road (N Troyer) and the 2 pairs of White-winged Scoters 4/22 at Lake Latonka (R Stringer). SRRnow supports 5 active Osprey nests. D Brauning reportsthat the county has four active Bald Eagle nests: one atLW, two at SRR, and one at Millbrook Road (also knownas Seguallas Ponds), which produced 8 young eagles. Theunusual nesting site atop an Osprey platform near theHeadquarters Bldg. at SRR, successfully produced 1 ofthe eaglets.

Sandhill Crane sightings continue with 2 on 4/26 and 1on 4/27 at PS, 2 on 5/12 on the NAMC at Route 173 northof Grove City, and 2 on 5/6 on Zahnizer Road Whetherthis represents 6 different birds or just 2 mobileindividuals is unknown.

A Whip-poor-will, seldom reported, was heard callingat 9 PM on 5/3 at SRR (M McKay). S Butcher reported anOlive-sided Flycatcher 5/11 perched on a dead snageating a large insect at the beaver pond at the GoldenRun Access area of SRR.

Blue-gray Gnatcatchers were seen much morefrequently by most observers 4/13-5/12, and NorthernMockingbird sightings were on the increase also.

An amazing 31 species of warbler were recorded. 3Yellow-throated Warblers were found 5/2 at SRR (SB,

J Stanley), and another 3 on the NAMC near HMB in thesycamore trees there, possibly breeding. Great news werethe 8 Cerulean Warblers, also found on the NAMCnear HMB on Big Bend Trail, and, again, probably somebreeding. A Yellow-breasted Chat was at SRR 5/8. Italso was a likely breeder, since it was still singing onterritory in mid July.

Dark-eyed Juncos left early (mid April) except for apossible nesting pair seen 6/3 at SGL 130 (SB).

The very tame (can be hand fed) female TrumpeterSwan (green tag #72), commented on last quarter,remains at Saguallas Ponds, hanging out with 3 MuteSwans (H Bauer).

Mifflin CountyThe NAMC went very well this year. We had an excitingday. I want to thank everyone who helped, including themembers of a birding class from the Intermediate Unitwhich my daughter Elaine Harmon and I wereinstructing. "Spring Birds of Pennsylvania" was a classfor teacher credits. A field trip to the Jack's MountainHawk Watch provided a learning experience for thestudents.

R Singer spoke to the class about the Jack's MountainHawk Watch. Could it be coincidence that as he stood onthe watch site and spoke about wind factors, skyconditions, thermals and record keeping, as if on cue, wehad a fly-over of a Bald Eagle, as we watched, Ron said"Don't overlook the next bird following the Bald Eagle.”It was very graceful Osprey and just a little later aSharp-shinned Hawk floated over our heads. Ron didan interesting explanation of the Hawk migration and ofour favorable conditions at Jack's Mt. Hawk Watch.

Another birding educational trip to our BackyardWildlife Habitat was enjoyed as A Troyer spoke anddisplayed various binoculars and scopes. He gave awonderful explanation of what optics are needed for anykind of birding.

During April the usual happened at our carport.Eastern Phoebes were first to choose a site, followed byHouse Sparrows and again, as usual AmericanRobins were into the nest building -- all in the carport!After a time, there was less contention and lots ofbegging young from all three nests. One day we heard acommotion in the back part of the carport and uponinvestigation, we observed 6 little juvenile CarolinaWrens sitting on the window frame, not knowing how toget out. Parent wrens were flying to the outside of thewindow and couldn't figure how to get the young out ofthe garage. They all fledged, however as we walked onthe road that evening, 1 of the young had met up with acar, but the other 5 were still begging food from theadults. We still have not found their secluded nest.

E Bender lives on a nearby farm. He called to ask whatkind of bird he might have seen as he mowed his field ofhay. He described it as a big bird with a white head anda white tail. It was his first Bald Eagle, an adult flyingtoward the Juniata River near Ryde. Warbler migrationwas good as usual and Ruby-throated Hummingbirdsdid well this year.

The Eastern Pennsylvania Birdline (EPB) reported aGreat Egret during early April in the swamp atDWGNRA headquarters near Bushkill. Ponds nearMarshall’s Creek 4/2 held American Wigeon, Ring-necked Ducks , Buffleheads, and HoodedMergansers (B Hardiman). R Wiltraut and S Boyceobserved a female Hooded Merganser flying from atree cavity on 4/28 in the DWGNRA headquartersswamp. This species is a rare Pocono breeder.

An adult Bald Eagle 4/23 over ES delighted observer JVan Hook. EPB reported 100+ Common Snipe in CV4/13. The season’s first Ruby-throated Hummingbirdwas reported from Brodheadsville 4/23 (D Giffels) and upto 3 Red-headed Woodpeckers continued through thequarter at the DWGNRA headquarters swamp (BH).Eastern Screech-Owls nested in a Wood Duck box atthe Monroe County Environmental Education Center’spond. 4 downy young and a gray adult were observed 5/4in the box (a 5 egg did not hatch). Fledging occurred theth

last week of May (BH).

Common Ravens nested again at SM near Canadensis(J Atwell) and Mt. Minsi in the DWG (BH). The Mt.Minsi pair used an alternate nest on the same cliffs asthe original nest and fledged 3 young the 2 week ofnd

May. Golden-winged Warbler was first observed 5/17in the Tannersville Bog and continued into June (DSpeicher). The only Fox Sparrow report was fromSpruce Lake near Canadensis 4/1 (J Atwood). EPBreported 6 Eastern Meadowlark in CV 4/13. PurpleFinch was scarce with a single report of 4 at ZimmerPreserve 4/16 (E Parnum).

The Pocono Avian Research Center, under the directionof Darryl and Jackie Speicher, conducted a bandingstation at Spruce Lake Retreat near Canadensis 4/14 to5/20. Habitat was shrubby, second growth edge. A total of88 individuals of 21 species were banded on 13 daysincluding a high of 31 individuals on 4/21 (11 Ruby-crowned Kinglets, 18 Dark-eyed Juncos, 1 White-throated Sparrow, 1 Hermit Thrush). Total numberof warblers banded included 2 LouisianaWaterthrushes, 11 Ovenbirds (high of 3 on 5/5), 4Black-and-white Warblers, 4 Black-throated BlueWarblers, 1 Common Yellowthroat, 5 MagnoliaWarblers (high of 4 on 5/12), 1 Northern Parula, 1Canada Warbler. Other neotropical migrants bandedincluded 4 Wood Thrushes (high of 3 on 5/13), 1Swainson’s Thrush 5/20, 1 Veery, and 1 AcadianFlycatcher.

Montgomery CountyLocations: Fort Washington State Park (FWSP), GreenLane Reservoir (GLR), Unami Creek Valley (UCV)

Birding during the second quarter was about average,but a few rarities and several late dates added someinterest.

Common Loon counts at GLR were below average,likely due to a lack of severe weather in April. Red-throated Loon was not reported during the quarter. Apair of Great Blue Herons nested in easternMontgomery. 2 dark ibis (Plegadis species.) were fly-overs at Walt Road, GLR 4/15 (G Franchois).

Waterfowl variety at GLR was good with 20 speciesreported. Among the noteworthy were a record lateTundra Swan 4/18 (K Crilley), Blue-winged Teal to5/5 (GF), a high of 10 Long-tailed Ducks 4/18 (KC), anda high of 4 Red-breasted Mergansers 4/1 (GF, KC).

B Murphy had a nice spring raptor flight at FWSP 4/9.Among the birds tallied in one hour on that date were 36Ospreys, 13 Northern Harriers, 11 Sharp- shinnedHawks, 17 Cooper's Hawks, and 29 AmericanKestrels (B&N Murphy). All things considered, a prettyproductive outing!

As we have come to expect, spring shorebirds were few atGLR and elsewhere. During several evenings of sky-watching at Church Road, GLR, J Horn managed to seeseveral hundred Red Knots on 5/29, but few birds onother nights. At least 43 Common Snipe were flushedin the Church Road marsh 4/1, constituting our bestcount in about ten years. Considering the amount ofhabitat available at that time, it is worth noting that allof these were found within 90 feet of each other (KC).Gull reports of note included 90 Bonaparte's Gulls atGLR 4/4 (KC), and Lesser Black-backed unti1 4/22(GAF). An unidentified tern (Sterna species) was atWalt Rd, GLR 5/27 (GAF).

Both cuckoo species were in the UCV in May (GAF), anda high of 60 Common Nighthawks were tallied atChurch Rd, GLR in one hour 5/23 (JH).

Two nice flycatcher finds in the UCV were an Olive-sided Flycatcher on 5/28 and a Least Flycatcher 5/14(GAF). Much to our surprise, the Northern Shrikereported during the last two quarters at Church Road,GLR remained until the record-late date of 4/8 (K Stagl).Our surprise turned to delight when the bird was in fullsong for over 20 minutes 4/3! (KC, R Bardman) A high of50 Bank Swallow was tallied at GLR 5/20 (GF) .

Our only Gray-cheeked Thrush report was a bird inthe UCV 5/27 (KR). Warbler variety was less thanimpressive with 26 species reported. Some highlightsamong them were 2 Cape May Warblers at FWSP 5/2(B&NM ) and a Bay-breasted Warbler at GLR 5/19(KC). Breeding warbler species in the UCV againincluded such goodies as Yellow-throated, Worm-eating, Kentucky, Hooded, and Yellow-breastedChat (GF, K Reiker). A Brewster's Warbler was seenand heard there 6/11-24 (B&NM, GF). A GrasshopperSparrow was heard singing in an unlikely spot nearGLR 6/30 (GF). White-throated Sparrow are notknown to breed in Montgomery, so a singing bird at FourMills Nature Reserve in mid-June was a big surprise! (AJohns). A male Blue Grosbeak at FWSP 5/4 was anunusual find for that location (B&NM). Surprisingly, ouronly Rusty Blackbird report was a group of 10 birds atChurch Road, GLR 4/17 (GF).

Mississippi Kites were reported from WilliamsTownship on April 18, 20, 21, 26 and 5/20 (A Koch, SThorpe) along Rt. 78 west of Easton 5/6 (AK) and at theMonocacy Nature Center 5/7 (ST et al.)! This is nothingshort of spectacular. Apparently all of these sightingswere of immatures. Broad-winged Hawks totaled1,700 at LGRRS on 4/21 (A Miller) and 12 Ospreys wereat the annual April trout-stocking convention at ML on4/12 (R Wiltraut). There were 24 Solitary Sandpipersand about 100 Least Sandpipers at GP 5/14 (DDeReamus). If nothing else, GP has proven to be animportant stopover for Least Sandpipers! A White-rumped Sandpiper was at GP on 5/26 (AM) and 2 werethere on 6/1 (RW). 2 Dunlins were at GP 5/19 (R Eime).An impressive 27 Short-billed Dowitchers were seenat GP on 5/23 (DD) and 22 were seen at the MC) on 5/26along with a Red-necked Phalarope (B Hardiman). Anadult Little Gull with Bonaparte's Gulls at the MC on4/7 was a first county record (RW).

At ML there were 2 Forster's Terns on 4/22 (S LaBar,RW) and another 1 was sighted on the LR that same day(D Brandes). 3 calling Virginia Rails were found inJune at School Road (RW). A Prothonotary Warblerwas seen at EBD on 5/3 (RE). A singing male BlueGrosbeak was in Williams Township 5/6 (AK). 2 singingCerulean Warblers were seen at Kirkridge 5/11 (SL)and another was on Morgan Hill 5/24 (DD). A Red-headed Woodpecker was in Williams Township 5/13(AK). A Lincoln's Sparrow was in Williams Township5/21 (AK). A Mourning Warbler was seen in NorthBangor on 5/23 (SL) and on MH 5/24 (DD). 4 KentuckyWarblers were found at Katellen during June (SB). AGolden-crowned Kinglet along National Park Drive5/23 might indicate breeding in the area (SL). A partialalbino Indigo Bunting was seen near Seemsville on 6/8(B Mescavage). Olive-sided Flycatchers were seen atJacobsburg in May (KS) and at Frost Hollow 5/23 (RW).Whip-poor-wills were heard at Todt's Gap (BH, THardiman) and the second confirmed nesting for thecounty was again at LGRRS (B Silfies).

Perry CountySoutherly winds and non-stormy days seem to havecaused many northbound migrants to continue over thearea without stopping. No good fallouts were reported,leading to a disappointing spring migration for birders.

The most interesting note from Perry County this seasonwas of the male Blue Grosbeak that was found onprivate property near Little Buffalo State Park by KGentzel on 5/24. This bird was most likely a springovershoot. This is a very uncommon bird in PerryCounty; there are fewer than 10 records.

PhiladelphiaLocations: Carpenter’s Woods (CW), Cobb’s Creek Park(CCP), Delaware River (DR), Fairmount Park (FP), JohnHeinz National Wildlife Refuge (JHNWR), Roosevelt Pk(RP), Schuylkill River (SR), Wissahickon Creek (WC)

A lake at RP hosted a breeding plumaged CommonLoon on 4/20 (S Sherman). M Sharp found a lateGadwall under the Girard Point Bridge (GPB) 5/29 anda male White-winged Scoter on the SR 4/26.

At JHNWR at Tinicum a pair of Cooper’s Hawk nested15' from a well-traveled footpath. Young Wood Duckwere plentiful and provided meals for the 2 youngCooper’s Hawks who were noisy and easily seen wellinto July. This is a nest record for the refuge. 5 LeastBittern nests were located (J Miller). A Virginia Railwas found 5/5. G Gorton saw a Caspian Tern andOrange-crowned Warbler 5/12 on the NAMC. A Red-headed Woodpecker was near the small foot bridge 5/3(R Agnew). An Olive-sided Flycatcher occupied a snagnear the wonderful new Visitors’ Center 6/7 (DMcGovern).

C Lyman reports that Ospreys nested again on the DRat the Glen Foerd Mansion, Grant and State Roads, andfledged 2 birds. 1 of the young birds leaped off the towerto the water at the base & flew back. The other flew in abig circle, swooped down & dipped its feet in the watertwice & came back. There were no reports of a naval yardnest this year.

A Peregrine Falcon nest with 1 chick could be viewedon videocam at the Bell Atlantic Tower. The Betsy Rossand Walt Whitman Bridges had nests on the NJ sidewith 3 chicks each. The Girard Point Bridge pair fledged4 chicks, but 1 was found dead on I-95. In mid-March MSharp, who “tends” the falcons, saw a pair mating on aCenter City tower, and at the river, another pair workedtogether to knock a Blue Jay into the water beforecarrying it up to feed the hatchlings. S Lawrence spotteda wet Northern Goshawk on a branch above the WC on4/8. Steve couldn’t tell if it was bathing or attempting totake a Wood Duck. The Barred Owl (family?) in theEast Falls area was seen and heard 6/12 (R Weisberg, KRussell).

Thirty-four species of warblers were tallied. Cape Mayand Connecticut were missed. 2 Golden-wingedWarblers were at the Andorra Nature Area 4/28 (SGeiger). An Orange-crowned Warbler was at Tinicumon 5/12. A male Yellow-throated Warbler was foundagain this year singing along Forbidden Drive, UpperWissahickon (R Ridgely). MS saw a Cerulean Warbleron Chestnut Hill Ave. 5/6 and another was in CW (CW)on 5/8 (J Henderson, W Murphy). Birders found aProthonotary Warbler in CW 4/21. K Russell’sMourning Warbler in CW 5/16 was followed by asecond in CCP on 5/23, the day of the yearly FairmountPark sponsored “Bioblitz” (C Hetzel, MS). CCP is aproductive, but under-birded area, where the group saw51 species in one and a half hours.

Along the Wissahickon very early Northern Parulas on4/19 were suspected to be local breeders (JH). K Russellhad several late birds including a record late Black-throated Blue Warbler in FP 6/11 (with CH). The onlyother June record Keith found was June 8, 1919, in CW,seen by A Hagar. Other late birds were Nashville andYellow-rumped Warblers 5/23 at CCP, a Ruby-crowned Kinglet 5/19 in CW, and on 5/20 a White-

throated Sparrow in CW (KR). 6 NorthernWaterthrushes were found at CCP during the Bioblitz5/23.

The NAMC turned up 2 Least Flycatchers, 1 in thePennypack (F Windfelder) and 1 in CW (K Somerville).On 5/19 a third was found in CW (CH). At Spring LaneBobolinks and Savannah Sparrows nested again(CH). Finally, G Seagraves had an adult EveningGrosbeak across the street from CW on Memorial Dayweekend. 173 species were reported.

Schuylkill CountyLocations: Hawk Mountain Sanctuary (HMS), HiddenValley (HV), Landingville Dam (LVD), New Ringgold(NR), Pine Grove (PG), Ringtown Reservoir (RR), SweetArrow Lake (SAL)

As in the past few years, the LVD area has heldAmerican Bitterns in the spring. This species was seenthere from 4/13 (B Clauser, B Carl, T Clauser) to 4/19 (MWard). Also on 4/19, another was sighted in the PG area(K Smith). A third location for American Bittern thisspring was at the RR 5/12 (M Gamble). 2 Snowy Egretsvisited the SAL 5/26-5/28 (B Stauffer, D Donmoyer).

It was a fairly good quarter for Long-tailed Ducks asover a dozen were seen from 4/11-4/21 at a fewreservoirs. A Bald Eagle was seen at LVD on 4/13 (BCl,BCa, MW). Our last daily record for this species was on5/23 when 1 was seen at Port Clinton (D Wood) and alsoat LVD (MW). Not often observed away from the HMS inour area, a Merlin was seen at LVD on 4/13 (BCl, BCa);and another was sighted in the NR area 4/21 (DW). Also,a good record was that of a Peregrine Falcon at NR on4/21 (DW).

Bonaparte's Gulls were seen on a few days in mid-April, with a high of 6 at LVD 4/16 (B Jucker). Recentlythought to be only a migrant at SGL 110 Port Clinton, acouple of Whip-poor-wills were heard here in late June(K Grim), lending to the possibility of breeders at thisspot. A few Olive-sided Flycatchers were recorded thisspring: SGL 227 5/11 (P Knauss) & 5/12 (J DeBalko),SGL110 Port Clinton 5/12 (BJ, D Kruel), and SGL 2295/24 (MW).

Eastern Wood-Pewee numbers were noticeably lowthis spring. A pair of Common Ravens nestedsuccessfully in a tower structure at an industrial site inSchuylkill County. First signs of nesting were noted inearly February , and the last of 3 young fledged in earlyMay.

A new spot for nesting Cliff Swallows was found in theHV area (AM Liebner). A Swainson's Thrush was atSGL 110 Port Clinton on 5/12 (BJ, DK). SGL 229, nearTremont, continued to hold Golden-winged Warblersfor 2001, but seemed to have a fair number of Blue-winged this year. A few Brewster's Warblers wereseen here, and a Lawrence's Warbler was observed on5/12 (P Barber). Just shy of the BBA safe date, aNorthern Waterthrush sang at a wetlands area of SGL229 near Ravine on 6/3 (DD, BJ, DK). MourningWarbler was a nice find at SGL 227 5/12 (J DeBalko).An extremely early female Rose-breasted Grosbeak

was seen on 4/9 at SAL (DD). Our only Lincoln'sSparrow was at SAL on 5/5 (DD).

Somerset CountyLocations: Cranberry Glade Lake (CGL), SomersetLake (SL)

A Red-Throated Loon visited Somerset Lake on 4/22(var. ob.). A blue morph Snow Goose was first seen on3/15 at Boynton on a mine drainage treatment wetland.It remained in the area, attempted to breed with aCanada Goose on 5/3, failed to nest, and was last seenon 5/31 (A Marich Jr.). The neck-banded TrumpeterSwan (T-62) returned to Berlin area ponds in earlyApril. This bird was banded in Wisconsin in the fall of ’99(JP, LP). The first documented occurrence of nestingHooded Merganser for the county occurred at CGL on6/24 (AM). The Northern Goshawks were foundnesting in the county this quarter in a black birch amonghemlocks on 5/20 (JP, LP). Unfortunately, both young fellto predators. The Upland Sandpipers nested in thecounty at some of the traditional spots (AM, JP, SB).

2 Laughing Gulls were seen at SL for a first countyrecord on 4/1 (JP, LP) and were relocated on 4/2 (SB). 5Franklin’s Gulls were spotted at SL on 4/21 (MFialkovich, D Rieger) and 3 of the birds were relocated on4/22 (var. ob.). This is apparently the largest group ofFranklin’s Gulls seen in Pennsylvania to date, with ahigh count of 2 birds previously reported! A solitaryShort-eared Owl was spotted in early April near StPaul (AM). Common Ravens nested on a Rails to Trailsbridge near Markleton and on a surface mine site nearMeyersdale (AM).

Sullivan CountyLocations: Wyoming State Forest (WSF)

Waterfowl observations were scarce as area ponds andlakes remained frozen until mid-April. Sandhill Cranewas verified on 6/4 in Cherry Township. Furtherinvestigation and discussion with local residentsindicated that 2 adult birds had been seen since mid-March and a pair was also present in same location in2000. The single adult was observed regularly for theremainder of the quarter and was joined by a secondadult on 6/6. No evidence of any successful breeding. Thisconstitutes a first county record (N Kerlin).

“Toot routes” for Northern Saw-whet Owl weresuccessful with 1-5 birds recorded in June at DutchMountain, SGL 13 and WSF (NK, S Conant, D Gross).Seldom recorded Whip-poor-will was present on 6/4 inWSF (DG).

The habitat change (insect defoliation of past years) atHigh Knob of WSF continues to be to the liking of severalspecies. Red-bellied Woodpecker (elevation of 200 ft.)and up to 8 Mourning Warblers on 5/21 (NK, SC).

Susquehanna CountySeventy-four species were found on the Rush BreedingBird Survey on 6/8, and an additional 6 species were seenin the county, making a total of 80 species that I recordedin the county that day. The most unusual bird on theBBS was a Double-crested Cormorant on a pond in

the northern part of the county. Obviously it wasn'tbreeding, but one of these years it may well breed at anumber of sites in the state, and then it will beinteresting and of value to document its increasingnumbers.

Only seven woodpeckers were found on the BBS: 1Northern Flicker, 1 Pileated Woodpecker, 2 DownyWoodpeckers, and 3 Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers.Good for the sapsuckers, but what about the others?

A Fish Crow was seen and heard at Lake Walter inSpringville Township on 4/5. It was my first for thecounty, and it may well be the first county record.

Tioga CountyA Pied-billed Grebe began vocalizing (long-series toots)on The Muck at 2015 h on 4/3 and continuedintermittently at the same location through 6/15,indicating breeding at the site. From 4/20 on vocalizingcontinued all day long (R Ross).

4 Red-throated Loons were observed this spring, all inwinter plumage. The first was on 4/3, at HC, the secondand third were at Hills Creek and Hammond on 4/7, andthe last was at Nessmuk on 4/20 (B Israel).

On 4/10 while we hawkwatched from our yard for about90 minutes, we saw 17 Common Loons, 15-20 accipiters(including both Sharp-shinned and Cooper’s Hawks),10-15 Red-tail Hawks, mostly migrants, 85 TurkeyVultures, and 1 Osprey (BI).

On 4/13 I found the remains of a road-killed gray morphRuffed Grouse where I used to observed him. Later inthat day I was returning home on a bike ride, I flushedanother (live) gray morph Ruffed Grouse about 1/4 milefrom where the other 1 was found road-killed (BI)!

A first-year Forster’s Tern was at Lake Nussmuk on4/16 (BI).

On 4/17, I observed in the rain 3 Green-winged Teal atTauscher Pond. 2 of them were normal, but the third wasmost unusual in that it was an entirely whitish bird! Itwas far away and raining so I couldn’t see many details,but the bird appeared all white, and was either stained-rusty brown, or actually had rusty brown in the plumage,mainly on the wings and body. The head and neck werepurer white (BI).

A pair of Black-and-white Warblers was seen feedinga fledgling on 6/8, which seemed early. The earliestmention of recently fledged young in the PennsylvaniaBreeding Bird Atlas is 6/13 (BI).

One pair of Golden-crowned Kinglets was seenfeeding a huge fledgling Brown-headed Cowbird onJune 17 at Hills Creek Lake. Another single adultscolded me while it sat motionless with a bill full ofinsects at the southern end of the lake (BI).

Venango CountyLocations: Polk Wetlands (PW), Two Mile Run Park(TMRP)

Water birds, as is usual in spring, were not common inthe county. The highlight would be a Red-necked

Grebe at TMRP on 5/16. An American Bittern stayed2 days at PW, always a nice record. Waterfowl producednothing unusual, but a Green-winged Teal on 6/21 &6/26 at PW is worth noting. Bald Eagle sightingscontinue to increase, with a 3 known nest site beingrd

found this year, though it was the only one confirmedactive this year. 4/24 was a new late date for Rough-legged Hawk. PW continued to produce good birds, withboth Virginia Rail and Sora being found there thisspring. Twelve species of shorebirds were around thisquarter. Upland Sandpipers continue to nest atBarkeyville, but continued development at this site doesnot leave much room for future optimism.

Cuckoos were uncommon this year, with Black-billedCuckoos being much more common. Six “Toot Routes”produced only 1 Northern Saw-whet Owl on 5/9, but anumber of Whip-poor-will locations.

Olive-sided Flycatcher had numerous sightings thisquarter, while there was only 1 report of AlderFlycatcher. Willow Flycatchers were fairly commonand Acadian Flycatchers were located in good habitat.Common Ravens continue to show signs of nestingnear Pithole, though the nest was not located this year.The large Bank Swallow colony near Franklin wasreduced by more than half, partly because of continuedactivity of a sand operation and partly because atorrential downpour destroyed some of the habitat.Warblers were at best disappointing. We had 29 speciesthis spring, our worst showing in many years. Andwarbler numbers were low. Sparrows produced theexpected. An Orchard Oriole nest at ClintonvilleFields, gave the first confirmed nesting for the county.

Warren CountyLocations: Allegheny National Forest (ANF), Irvine(IR), Newbold Estate (NE), Saybrook (SB)

A Horned Grebe was on a pond at Saybrook 6/3 (C & MNeel). A female Hooded Merganser led 10-12 verysmall young on a pond at NE near Irvine 5/15 (T Grisez).

Northern Goshawks raised 3 young on the ANF (DWatts). Common Ravens raised 3 young in two nestson the ANF in Warren Co (TG).

Northern Parulas were found in two locations nearIrvine 6/23 and 24 (P Yeorg, B Henderson). 2 Yellow-throated Warblers were at Buckaloons Recreation Area6/23-24, and 1 at NE 6/23 (PY, BH). 2 or 3 LouisianaWaterthrushes were at NE 6/23 (PY, BH).

Westmoreland CountyLocations: Keystone State Park (KSP), Laurel SummitGlade (LSG), Mutual Wetlands (MW), PowdermillNature Reserve (PNR), Trout Run Reservoir (TRR)

The 70 Double-crested Cormorants on TRR, Ligonier,4/10 was an excellent count for this county (B Leberman,B Shaw). A Least Bittern was at the pond at PNR5/24_25 (var. ob.), and a Yellow-crowned Night-Heronflew over one of the small ponds there 5/29 (BM). 2 SurfScoters and 2 White-winged Scoters put down onTRR 4/16 (var. ob.). The adult Northern Goshawk,being pursued by 2 Sharp-shinned Hawks, that swept

over the Powdermill headquarters area 5/30 wasprobably from a small breeding population on LaurelMountain (BM, BL, J Gruber), and a very late GoldenEagle was seen circling over LSG on the same date (J &T Gruber). Forty Pectoral Sandpipers at MW 4/8 wasan exceptional count for this region (M Conaughy), andthe best count of Bonaparte's Gulls was of 50 near NewStanton 4/6 (M Fialkovich). The only report of Forster'sTern this season was of 6 near Slickville 4/20 (DLauffer).

A total of 9 Yellow-bellied Flycatchers were banded atPNR between 5/17 & 6/3 (BL, BM); an Alder Flycatcherwas found along Hunter's Lane north of Jones Mills 6/10(MF); and a record early Eastern Kingbird appeared atSlickville 4/20 (DL). A better than average total of 14Philadelphia Vireos was banded at PNR 5/5-30 (BL,BM). An unusually early Wood Thrush arrived at KSP4/13 (DL).

We banded a Lawrence's Warbler at PNR 5/5, andsingle Orange-crowned Warblers were banded 5/5 &18 (BL, BM). A singing Dickcissel was an unexpecteddiscovery near Ligonier 5/26 (JG, T Gruber). A WesternMeadowlark, discovered near Trauger 4/28 (DL)remained through the end of the period (var. ob.), and a2nd bird was found at CR 5/12 (MM).

Wyoming CountyLocations: Coal Bed Swamp (CBS)

During the 3-month period, at least 164 species wererecorded in Wyoming County with 113 recorded on theN.A. migratory bird count on 5/12.

A Virginia Rail found by B Daniels at a marshy area atthe entrance to the Wyoming County fairgrounds on 6/5gave some people very good looks in the days thatfollowed. On 6/10, at SE, I saw a female CommonMerganser on the river with 23 fledglings! On the 15th,I saw her again with 21 young; and later I saw her withabout 16. Obviously, they were not all her offspring. Didshe steal some? Or did she pick them up when anotherfemale abandoned them or could no longer mother them?

The outstanding shorebird reports from neighboringLuzerne County did not occur in Wyoming County withonly 5 species reported.

Several very interesting reports come from CBS asreported by D Gross. For the 9th consecutive year,Blackpoll Warblers were present at this unique area. 4territorial males were found there in June (and 2 werefeeding young in July). 8 pairs of Yellow-belliedFlycatchers have been present there this year. 2Swainson's Thrushes were present at CBS until about6/15, but have not been found since. 2 Red Crossbillswere heard flying over on one occasion in late June.Breeding Golden-crowned Kinglets and Red-breasted Nuthatches are there in good numbers. AtSGL 57, DG also reported Northern Saw-whet Owls inJune as well as 8 Whip-poor-wills. R Koval alsoreported Whip-poor-wills at nearby Mountain Springson 4/30.

Two very early records came from South Eaton: a

Yellow-billed Cuckoo reported by Bill Reid on 4/24,and a Ruby-throated Hummingbird found by HMacGowan on 4/26. For the first time in many years,there has not been a single report of Purple Martinfrom the county.

Single Cape May Warblers were found at South Eatonby Bill Reid on 5/8, 9, 10, and 17, and 2 were found on5/12. All were found in the same area. Is it possible thatthere were only two birds, one of which hung around foralmost a week? Henslow's Sparrows returned to theirtraditional nesting area at West Nicholson (where theywere not found in 2000), with 2 birds singing on 5/12 and3 singing on 5/29. However, from 6/4 on, they could notbe found either at the traditional area or at any othernearby favorable sites. Is it possible that the malesreturned, but left when no females returned to the area?

York CountyLocations: Codorus State Park (CSP), Gifford PinchotState Park (GPSP), Kiwanus Lake (KL), Lake Redman(LR), Rocky Ridge County Park (RRCP), Ski Roundtop(SRT), Susquehanna River (SR)

A Red-throated Loon was at CSP 4/4-16 (D Hoffman, PRobinson, T Baker). A single Red-necked Grebe wasthere 4/6 (K Lippy). Black-crowned Night-Heronsarrived on time; A. Spiese counted 19 nests KL 5/22.Yellow-crowned Night-Herons nested at KL 4/29 (ASpiese), also at 2 other locations. A Canvasback was atCSP 4/6 (P Robinson), and there were 52 Lesser Scaupthere 4/5 (T Bauer). A White-winged Scoter was atCSP 4/5-16 (PR, P Sabold, TB).

Nesting Bald Eagles were reported at seven differentlocations: two away from the SR at Krider Road,Chanceford Township & Lake Williams. There were 185Ring-billed Gulls plus 10 Bonaparte’s Gulls in a field(migrating) at Menges Mills 4/17 (AS), and 70Bonaparte’s Gulls at LR 4/14 (A Spiese). An earlyRuby-throated Hummingbird was seen at SRT 4/5 (JPheasant).

A Yellow-throated Vireo at GPSP 4/20 was early (PS,B Moul, R Koury); 1 Philadelphia Vireo was heard atGlateo Lodge 5/1 (PR), and a Red-eyed Vireo atHanover 4/23 (PR) was also early. Horned Larks wererecorded at 2 locations during the NAMC 5/15-16 (PR). AGray-cheeked Thrush at Wrightsville 6/5 was late (Jand L Downs). At least 5 American Pipits were seen onRoute 425 near Shenks Ferry Road 5/3 (J Mountjoy). Sixwarblers arrived at new early dates and two lingeredlater than normal.

Lincoln’s Sparrow was reported during the NAMC 5/12(R Phillips), and a single bird was at RRCP 5/13 (J&JPrescott). 1 Rose-breasted Grosbeak at CSP 4/9 wasearly (A McGann). An Indigo Bunting at SRT 4/1 wasalso early (JP).

Seasonal Occurrence Tables - April through June 2001A summary of frequently reported species with arrival/departure dates and high counts

HOW TO READ THE TABLES

The species listed in the followingtables represent the “expected”species in most areas. The following26 species, permanent residents thatoccur in almost every county, are notincluded.

Ruffed Grouse, Ring-neckedPheasant, Wild Turkey, RockDove, Mourning Dove, EasternScreech and Great Horned owls,Belted Kingfisher, Red-bellied,Downy, Hairy, and Pileatedwoodpecker, Blue Jay, AmericanCrow, Tufted Titmouse, White-breasted Nuthatch, CarolinaW r e n , E a s t e r n B l u e b i r d ,Northern Mockingbird, CedarWaxwing, European Starling,Northern Ca rdinal , SongSparrow, House Finch, AmericanGoldfinch, and House Sparrow

Not all of the above are “permanentresidents” in the strictest sense.Kingfishers, for example, will leavean area if all of the open waterfreezes up. Blue Jays migrate, butsince Pennsylvania is in the center oftheir summer and winter ranges,they are present year round.Comments on the above species canbe found in either the Summary ofthe Season or Local Notes.

All other reported species can befound in the Birds of Note section.

CODES

The codes used in the tables areas follows:

A = Present All quarter. This specieswas present from the first day of thequarter through the last day of thequarter. This could refer to individualbirds or the species as a group.

P = Present Part of the quarter. Thisspecies was present, but specificdates are not available.

R = Permanent Resident. Thisspecies breeds and is present yearround in this county.

L = Late or Low. An L after a dateindicates an unusually late date. AnL after a number indicates anunusually low number.

H = High. An H after a number indi-cates an unusually high number.

E = Early. An E after a date indicatesan unusually early date.

6 = An arrow before a date indicatesthe species was present from thebeginning of the quarter to at leastthat date.

An arrow after a date indicates thespecies was present starting withthat date and through the rest of thequarter.

( ) = Numbers in parentheses indicate

high counts for the season. Nonumber means only 1-3 individuals orno number was reported.

* = Something noteworthy.Comments about the record mayusually be found in the Local Notessection.

sp. = Species unknown, such asScaup.

A comma between dates indicatesthat the species was not presentduring that interval.

A blank does not necessarily meanthat the species does not occur in thatcounty, just that no reports werereceived by the compiler for thatspecies.

EXAMPLES:

2/27-3/6(24)-3/30 means the specieswas first reported on 2/27 with a highof 24 on 3/6 and last reported on 3/30.

5/66 means the species was first seenon 5/6 and remained the rest of thequarter.

A-5/6(25) means the species waspresent all quarter with a high of 25on 5/6.

9/4E means the species was reportedon 9/4, which was early for thiscounty.

1/15-2/26(300H)6 means the specieswas first reported on 1/15, with ahigh count of 300 on 2/26, which wasunusually high for this county.
