This weekend produced major arivals of spring migrants. My
year list for New Jersey increased by 20 from Thursday
evening until Sunday afternoon. Chimney Swifts, Whip-poor-
wills, Eastern Kingbirds, Green Heron, and Solitary
Sandpiper are in at Freehold; Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and
Hermit Thrush were at Scherman Sanctuary in Bernardsville;
House Wren, Yellow Warbler, Catbird, Ovenbird, White-eyed
Vireo, Common Yelowthroat, and Blue-winged Warbler are
widely present.
Scherman Sanctuary also had lots of American Redstarts,
Cerulean Warbler, Worm-eating Warbler (all of which I saw),
plus Northern and Louisiana Waterthrush and Nashville
Warbler which I missed.
Allaire State Park had numerous Hooded Warblers, a possible
Worm-eating Warbler, many Black-and-white Warblers, Brown
Thrashers, and a Great Crested Flycatcher.
