~On Friday evening, this bird made my day. Black-throated Blue Warbler at Goosepond Mountain State Park, 04\/28\/17.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As we all know, it\u2019s a great time of the year for birding. Migration is on and new birds are showing up on a regular basis. I had a relatively busy week, so I\u00a0didn\u2019t get out birding as often as I usually do, but I still had 19\u00a0new birds in\u00a0Orange County. This morning I\u00a0birded Pochuck Mountain State Park with Linda Scrima and Maria Loukeris; it was the most\u00a0productive outing of the week, with 7 FOY birds and nearly 40 total species being identified. Here\u2019s my list of new OC birds for the past week, in\u00a0chronological order and locations:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I love this time of year! And,\u00a0what’s really exciting is that things are just getting started.<\/p>\n

~Thursday 04\/27\/17 after work, I walked the Sterling Lake Loop at Sterling Forest SP. I had several Black-and-white Warblers, this one was most cooperative.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

~I guess the Worm-eating Warblers at Pochuck Mountain are on the early side – they came up as a rare bird when entered into eBird. One of 3 WEWAs at Pochuck Mountain SP, 04\/29\/17.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
