[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard - Sunday 4/22/2012

After returning from the Savannah Mucklands area this morning, I birded the Hawthorn Orchard on East Hill in Ithaca (located between Pine Tree Road, Mitchell Street, and the East Ithaca Recreation Way) from about 9:45 to 11:00am. It was fairly quiet, in part due to the cold, windy, damp

[cayugabirds-l] L. Waterthrush @ Shindagin

Managed to get fairly close to a LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH singing at the bottom of a ravine and a WINTER WREN that seemed to be singing in response. Watched the LOWA singing from a perch and then forage in the rocky stream. No photos, but I recorded some good audio. Other bird activity was mostly

[cayugabirds-l] SFO SAturday Derby Hill, Summer Hill trip

Hi all, Meteorologists are really getting better and better. Our meteorologist told us it was going to be 100% rain at Derby Hill and we thought may be there would some variables and we get lucky. But it turned out to be 100% rain. Highlights (some were for me alone!) At Derby Hill, we had

[cayugabirds-l] Common Gallinule on Van Dyne Spoor Road

These photos are not great but they prove the ID. Several birders have heard the Common Gallinule recently and some doubted the reports. Ebird wanted them confirmed so I took the photos. Sorry the light wasn’t better. Mark Miller also saw this bird today. In one photo you can see the
