[cayugabirds-l] Alder Flycatchers, etc

[Geo Kloppel]

Several Alder Flycatchers were newly evident in Michigan Hollow today. Least 
Flycatchers have been singing for a few days in traditional breeding spots 
there. Likewise Canada Warblers and a Winter Wren. A Northern Waterthrush was 
still singing from the same swamp woods near the beagle club as on May 12th.  
Under the bridge at Diane's Crossing is a Phoebe's nest with five eggs, as I 
easily determined, because the nest is directly beneath a half-inch wide 
expansion joint between two deck boards. My 6 year-old granddaughter got a 
thrill out of that, and later she laughed at the funny sound made by a Virginia 
Rail.

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Sat 5/21

[Mark Chao]

On Saturday morning in Sapsucker Woods, I heard a PRAIRIE WARBLER singing
in the power-line cut east of where the trail enters the woods.  This was
arguably the most unexpected bird observation I’ve had this spring.   This
spot also remains a great place for viewing a singing CHESTNUT-SIDED
WARBLER and his presumed mate.



Otherwise, despite hours of simmering clouds of presumed migrant birds on
radar last night, evidence of sojourning passage migrants this morning
seemed very sparse – one male and one female MAGNOLIA WARBLER and a
YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER on the East Trail, and an unidentified warbler high
in the treetops above the Wilson/Severinghaus shelter – plus a SCARLET
TANAGER seen by Miyoko Chu at our home in suburban northeast Ithaca.
