light house jetty as we were walking out to the light house.

Late this morning atop Mt. Pleasant, I watched a pair of TREE SWALLOWS, at one
of the nest boxes along the road to the towers, starting territory and
courtship behaviors. The female (presumably) hung on the front, looking in the
hole, while the male (presumably) did flutter flight over her
This afternoon I noticed a possible Lincoln's Sparrow on our tray
feeder. I got a good look before it was spooked by Gin walking in the
yard. In a little while it appeared again with an Am Tree Sparrow, on
the tray feeder. I was able to get another good look but it was quite
skittish and flew

New in my 'yard' this morning were more singing Fox Sparrows, a lone Chipping
Sparrow, several Golden-crowned Kinglets, and one or two singing Purple
Finches.
Turkeys are gobbling, Ruffed Grouse are drumming, and I'll be on the watch for

One young Tundra Swan walking and paddling among assorted Canada geese,
Mallards and Herring Gulls, at 7pm this evening, on the receding overflow of
Fall Creek along Herman Rd, just S of 38, E side of the road. It was the only
swan there. I am assuming no one has a pet or hand reared one
This evening about 5:45pm I saw an estimated 150 scattered TREE SWALLOWS
southbound over Cayuga Inlet near Floral Avenue. They quit passing by before
the north wind kicked in, but that may have been due to time of day. I don't
know why they were headed south.

Yesterday morning Ann Mitchell I took advantage of near-perfect viewing
conditions on Cayuga Lake: There was no wind, and the air temperature matched
the water temperature. We sought the elusive Eared Grebe and re recalcitrant
Ross's Goose. Both quests were a bust, even though at Long Point we
A warm front has passed through and the Cayuga basin experienced pretty heavy
migration as perradar last night. It could be a great day with new arrivals.
Good luck to everyone.

There were two Bonaparte’s Gulls on a mini-ice berg off the west end of Stewart
Park around 8:30 this morning. As I was watching, they were forced off by a
Herring Gull and flew to the north.
While walking down Tioga Street (X corner of Courth St) around 10:00 I heard
the calls of a Merlin.
The Red-throated Loon was still present this morning (about 9am) just
west of the white lighthouse.
As I scoped towards the east I saw in the far distance just north of
Stewart Park a bird that I believe was a Tree Swallow. I couldn't swear
by it, and I lost it after about five seconds due to
