~Hard to beat this – Golden-winged Warbler in a blooming Dogwood, Sterling Forest 5\/15\/16.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This morning I birded with Linda Scrima and Maria Loukeris. We hit two spots and did pretty well with\u00a0warblers at both of them:<\/p>\n

Other notable birds included super looks at 2 Yellow-billed Cuckoos (unfortunately, I blew the pics!), a Swainson’s Thrush, and several Scarlet Tanagers all of which were seen at Pochuck Mountain. The Golden-winged Warbler was a lifer for Linda, so congrats to her on that.<\/p>\n

It’s really a great time of the year for birding, and I’m embracing warblers for the first time really, so it’s been very enjoyable. I’ve included photos from earlier this week, when I made visits to Sterling Forest and the Liberty Loop.<\/p>\n
