Brad Walker and I had a nice look at a low flyover COMMON NIGHTHAWK headed
west near the horse barns at Bluegrass Lane this evening at 7:36PM.
This morning I succeeded in my goal of finding a Cayuga County OLIVE-SIDED
FLYCATCHER, perched in the snags and spruces in the Dresser Road bog in
Friends:
Cape May is having a 2 day "field trip" to look for shorebirds on the
24th and 25th of August. It's led by one of the folks who wrote the
shorebird book. Cost for the workshop (not including travel, room and
board) is about $190.
Anyone interested in car pooling?

This morning at the swan pen at stewart park perched on a partly submerged
tree limb I believe I saw an American Bittern. Has anyone else seen one.
Also 3 huge belted kingfishers, one female perched on a limb in the water
for a good long while. So regal!

Until this morning, I had only seen Kingbirds alone, but today there was a
whole big flock assembling in the scrubby field (bushes, thistles, and
teasels, etc.) at the corner of Route 79/Slaterville Road and Landon Road.
