My wife Miyoko Chu took the morning off and gave me the wonderful surprise gift of her birding company on this fine morning. We spent two hours at the Lindsay-Parsons Biodiversity Preserve, first scanning the swamp by the fire station and then walking the trails. It was Miyoko's first visit here in our nine years of life in Ithaca.
Highlights include one NASHVILLE WARBLER (hedgerow by fire station), 3 BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLERS (one on territory near first trail fork, one on territory near Celia's Cup), 4+ YELLOW WARBLERS, one GREEN HERON (fire station swamp), 5+ BROWN THRASHERS, a BLUE-HEADED VIREO in the woods above Celia's Cup, a calling COMMON RAVEN, and many FIELD SPARROWS everywhere.
