5/14/16 Miantonomi Park in Newport county, rI

Leader: Joe Koger
​11 participants
With wind blowing from the west, temperature at 7:15 AM ~ 50 degrees, the loop around the west side and top of the hill were fairly quiet.  The East side of the hill exposed to the sun and protected from the wind was much more productive for spring migrants and warblers.  The very first bird of the day was a Yellow Billed Cuckoo perched on an exposed branch on the east side of the hill. It remained clearly visible for several minutes to the delight of all.
