I still can't get over the time of year Muscovy nest...It is January, winter most ducks even in Florida wait until spring but not Muscovy.

I’m hoping for warblers, but there’s not gonna be as many as there would be in migration, right? 

You should probably still have a variety of warblers, depending where you are. Hooded and Canada breed in the area.

And here! They also got introduced here, and are doing well.

Nice! Hoping to get one here in the summer. I know what you mean about the migrants...I missed spring migration last year, so especially looking forward to it this year.

Check out eBird data for the county you'll be going for, and use the Targets function to see a list of species and their frequencies. Depending on your warbler list, you should be able to pick up a few, especially if you learn their songs beforehand!

I'll add the warbler song site that someone on here made (my mind is blanking on who to @)

Just out of curiosity, do you know which county you will be visiting? I have recently been informed that I will be visiting family in west-central NY (Rochester) in late April. Might be too early for many warbler migrants at that point though.

I’ll be starting in otsego county, but will then be going to Rockland county and Long Island, two area I’m familiar with. But not for birding.

Ash-throated Flycatcher-I'm so loving the Nikon p1000's ability to get a sharp image of a bird even with foliage in the way and on an auto focus setting.

I got a few decent photos of the Brambling, but it never came very close to me. I probably could of gotten better photos if I had stayed longer than the hour and a half I did, but I had an additional two hour drive to go see the longspurs.
