We could not have asked for a more beautiful day. We were immediately heard the serenades of the woodland birds. One of our first target species, the Olive-sided Flycatcher, was perched on a high branch, and we saw it from Doodletown Hill. The Cerulean Warblers were singing everywhere, not to be outdone by the song of the Yellow-throated Vireos, Scarlet Tanagers and Carolina Wrens. We also looked at butterflies, other insects, snakes and plants. We even saw two shorebird species at Iona Marsh, Least Sandpiper and several Spotted Sandpipers.
