I saw and photographed a bright male PINE WARBLER with dozens of male Yellow-rumped Warblers at the Wilson/West intersection in Sapsucker Woods on Friday morning. Two RUSTY BLACKBIRDS were nearby on the pond side. All these birds were foraging on the leaf litter and edges of puddles. I'm almost sure it was my first sighting of a Pine Warbler on the ground or even anywhere below my eye level.
I also found one MERLIN behind the houses inside the eastern corner of Christopher Lane and Christopher Circle in northeast Ithaca.
