[cayugabirds-l] New birds

2012-05-07 Thread Carol Keeler
Two of my regulars have finally come north. Late afternoon, yesterday, I saw my catbird and hummingbird. Still no oriole. I thought I heard it yesterday, but with the mockingbird here daily, I'm not positive. No siting of it yet. The catbird came to the jelly feeder. I usually have my

This AM I was on the E. Ithaca Rec. Trail (the one that goes to Game Farm Rd.). I heard a single clear loud call note, all one pitch, and repeated several times over a period of several minutes. The quality of the sound was much like that of a Balt. Oriole, but when I finally spotted the bird, it
