[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods 10-11 am
I circled the pond on the Wilson trail counter-clockwise (if your are looking from above I guess.) It was pretty noisy at the start, with several WARBLING VIREOS singing, a couple of bubbling HOUSE-WRENS, and a persistent NORTHERN FLICKER going ki-ki-ki On the northern half I saw one each of those three, a COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, YELLOW WARBLER, and GRAY CATBIRD. On the southern half I saw a YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER and then immediately a DOWNY-WOODPECKER that put the the finishing touches on it's hole, flew in, and poked it's head out to survey the view. Very cute. At the bench near the exit from Wilson south I ended up in a flock of 7 to 10 YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS that contained a single PALM WARBLER. A WHITE-THROATED SPARROW sat in the trees near the feeders but wouldn't approach since a worker was tidying up the area. My goodness it is nice to see the sun.

[cayugabirds-l] SAPSUCKER WOODS 1-1:45 PM
Hi all, Roi Dor and I did a short walk on the first part of the Wilson Trail (north). Most birds were quiet, but still there. Lots of YELLOW WARBLERS, 1 WARBLING VIREO, 1 YELLOW-THROATED VIREO (singing in the distance), a great look at a ground foraging OVENBIRD, 1 female CHESTNUT -SIDED WARBLER, 1 singing and then skulking WILSON'S WARBLER, several REDSTARTS, 2 male and 1 female ORIOLE, including a male in that wonderful white blooming pear tree. Also, a TOWHEE hopping along in the path by the bench, just past the bend past the platform (does that make sense??). He was kicking up leaves and didn't seem too bothered by our passage. We turned back shortly after the bench. Oh yes - an OSPREY was seen, first sitting in the unoccupied GBH nest, then flying over the pond a few times before heading off to the north.

[cayugabirds-l] Sunday birding, Yellow-throated Warbler details
Hi all, I apologize for the late post, and thank Tom Schulenberg for posting my YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER from near the Ithaca Airport. It's about time for me to figure out how to post to the list from my phone, and to receive rare-bird alert text messages such as White-faced Ibis, which I drove past twice on Saturday without knowing about. On Sunday morning, I arrived at Myer's Point at 6:15 and walked out to the waters edge. 3 GREATER YELLOWLEGS were the only birds of interest. Nothing moving up the lake. ORCHARD ORIOLE singing at the park entrance, as others have noted. An OSPREY was incubating on a new nest below Portland Point (I saw the birds carrying sticks in April). I then birded behind the Ithaca Airport, finding the aforementioned YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERS, with some YELLOW-RUMPS, NORTHERN PARULA, YELLOW-THROATED VIREO, and PURPLE FINCHES in the flooded woods on Mohawk Rd. The bird had completely white lores, and came in to my imitated Screedh-owl. I got a couple of identifiable 'digi-bin shots (holding the digital camera up to my binoculars), which I posted on the eBird rare bird flickr site. Along my loop behind the airport, I had 3 NASHVILLES, 2 NORTHERN PARULAS, BLACK-THROATED GREEN, OVENBIRDS, NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, AND CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER (not singing). A pair of GREAT EGRETS were ffeeding at the back pond on Nemi Rd. -- I wonder if these were the same birds I saw flew over the Mohawk Rd pond. and 3 GREEN Herons dropped out of the skiy and we KNE .
