We thank our excellent leaders, Rick, Alice and Miriam for finding and identifying many beautiful birds. Doodletown, with its woodlands, streams, grasses and flowers is a major attraction for many bird species. It hosts nesting Hooded Warblers, Cerulean Warblers, Worm-eating Warblers, Yellow-throated Vireos, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Orchard Orioles, Pileated Woodpeckers and many more. Migrating birds are also attracted to this ecological gem, including the Olive-sided Flycatcher. We saw and heard all of them (Pileated heard). We also monitored the sky for raptors and saw several, including Red-shouldered and Broad-winged Hawks, a Bald Eagle and an Osprey. From the tiny Ruby-throated Hummingbird to the large Pileated Woodpecker, many species find that Doodletown’s diverse habitat offers a welcoming niche.
