Olive-sided Flycatcher, Roxbury Twp., NJ, May 19, 2015 (photo by Alan Boyd)
Morris County’s only Olive-sided Flycatcher report so far in 2015 comes from a private residence in Roxbury Twp. (Alan Boyd). This is a hard-to-find spring species in the Morris-Somerset area. In 2014, there are two May reports on eBird for Morris County and only one May report for Somerset.
Duke Island Park had 9 Spotted Sandpipers and 8 Least Sandpipers today.
Finderne Wetlands had 1 Semipalmated Plover, 3 Spotted Sandpipers, 1 Greater Yellowlegs and 4 Least Sandpipers (Jeff Ellerbusch).
From Daniel Albohn in Convent Station:
“20 – 30 Cedar Waxwings 7PM – 7:30PM hung out high on the treetops, and then together took off toward Loantaka and other points south.”
