Paul's US Birding Blog: Lake George area, 17th - 24th August
http://paulsusbirdingblog.blogspot.com/2014/08/lake-george-area-17th-24th-august.html
Paul's US Birding Blog. Thursday, August 21, 2014. Lake George area, 17th - 24th August. A family holiday spent at a resort on Lake George on the edge of the Adirondacks. This area is famous as the closest site to find many of the Boreal species, however they are a bit ambitious for a family holiday, so this was more of a recce for future birding trips. There were smaller numbers of Chestnut-sided Warbler, Canada Warbler,. Blackburnian Warbler, Blue-winged Warbler. And most had at least one Brown Creeper.

Paul's US Birding Blog: Doodletown Road - 16th July
http://paulsusbirdingblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/doodletown-road-16th-july.html
Paul's US Birding Blog. Thursday, July 16, 2015. Doodletown Road - 16th July. A late start meant that birding at Doodletown was fairly slow. My main aim was to try and track down Empidonax. Flycatchers, and that aim was achieved with my first Acadian Flycatcher. Fortunately for me it was fairly vocal. I heard it first from some distance, got views of it, and finally watched it singing so was very happy with the ID. Hooded Warblers. Other birds included several Scarlet Tanagers. And a Worm-eating Warbler.
