On Monday I was asked by the family of a Cornell grad student, who was off
taking an exam, to give them a taxi tour of Ithaca Falls, Stewart Park, and
other beautiful places around Ithaca. I took them past the base of Cascadilla
Gorge mentioning the beatiful stone walkway they could climb, and
Thank goodness we have oaks and hickories for insects and birds. But before
they evolved what plants were there in New York? Would we have seen the same
warblers what we see now. If you are curious to know you might want to attend
this talk!
New York hasn?t always had oaks and hickories(!)
It was very quiet except for two warblers I saw and could not identify as they
hid in the foliage. I also heard two warblers one in the south eastern corner
shrubs sounded like a Wilson’s warbler I have recorded it over the roar of the
winds and the other was Magnolia Warbler. No Tennessee
That it was close to the ground is another pretty typical Mourning clue.

There were at least 2 male and 1 female bobolinks just SW of the outdoor tennis
courts at hawthorn a little while ago. I saw one Tennessee and 1 chestnut sided
and I thought I heard a magnolia in the SW corner around the horse field. Also
a hummer

Hi all,
Despite the wind and cold and wet, there were a few migrants a Sapsucker
Woods this morning, mostly clustered around the Charlie Harper bench area.
A BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER was foraging with a very cooperative pair of
BAY-BREASTED WARBLERS, and there were numerous ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS,
- Three GBH around the outlet of a small stream.
- Several dozen swallows swirling around the same general area and out over
the lake. Until now there have been only three Northern Rough-winged
Swallows. The new arrivals have yet to stop moving long enough to be
identified - to be continued.

??Hi all,
I tried to send this yesterday night but for some reasons the whole email got
lost in cyberspace! So I had to type the whole thing again.
I analyzed songs of the Tennessee warblers I recorded day before yesterday. I
found that there were at least 15 + individuals and each of them
Both sexes are aggressive. It's pretty interesting, but if their squabbles
become tiresome, you can put up more feeders, located on opposite sides of the
house, or even farther apart if you've got room.

OMG!! Gorgeous male (are the called Baltimore or Northern these
