The Philadelphia Vireo continues along Kanokolus Rd at Unity Pond. On Friday I found it just before you get to the RR track crossing. It was singing and very active. It may even have been carrying food at one point but I could not be certain. I could not locate a second bird. Be aware that there are many Warbling and Red-eyes at this site also if you go to look. It has been here since at least 6/16. I was also totally psyched to see two nighthawks hawking insects over the marsh just before sunrise. This is the second time in a week I have seen nighthawk here so they may be nesting nearby.
At nearby Carlton Pond in Troy on Saturday there was a Sandhill Crane that seemed territorial. They may be nesting far back in the marsh. It was calling just before sunrise and then made a loop around the marsh bugling loudly the whole time. There are also at least 13 Black Terns at this site along with many other cool birds.
Good birding,
