Mount Loretto: Early Breeding Birds And Late Migrants

Last year with Howie Fischer we were treated to several breeding bird species including a family of orchard orioles that was very secretive with their two youngsters as we followed them around the grounds of Mt Loretto. Among other birds that could be breeding here at this time are robins and Baltimore orioles. We all agreed that our searching out a breeding bird family was even more rewarding than just finding and identifying birds, for the whole purpose of bird migration, bird calls and their unusual spring plumage is to guarantee the continuation of their particular species, Comfortable shoes and binoculars are a must. Meet at the Hylan Blvd. parking lot on the shore side, opposite the CYO. For more information phone Howie at (718)981-4002 or Dick at (718)761-7496.
