In 2017, my neighborhood, Aldea de Santa Fe, began a Juniper Titmouse Nesting Box Project in collaboration with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s NestWatch Program. A total of 79 fledged, which beat our 2017 count of 52. A busy bird, it’s skilled at acrobatics as it reaches for piñon nuts or hops around the trees outside my window.

Corey enjoyed visits to the East Pond of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge on both Saturday and Sunday. First, I witnessed Ruby-throated Hummingbirds haranguing a Cedar Waxwing in suburban Rochester. The next day saw Barn Swallows berating a Sharp-shinned Hawk in rural Potter County, PA.

Corey’s Beat Bird of the Weekend was a singing male Mourning Warbler at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge that was chosen despite it giving a brief awful look. Rochester hosted a nice push of Bay-breasted Warblers , which I was quite pleased to intercept at Cobbs Hill. Still though, Mourning Warbler! How about you?

Corey had a great Saturday morning on the East Pond of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge which has still not filled back up after being drawn down for shorebird season this summer. I was pleased to discover that my resident Carolina Wren , unseen for months, appears determined to ride out another Rochester winter.

It could have been any of those from among the over 100 species that crossed Corey’s path this weekend but of them all he chose the singing Henslow’s Sparrow at the Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge as this state-threatened species is hard to see and it gave Corey the best looks he ever had of the species.
