Hurrah! The west side of the lake finally catches up with the rest of the
basin. This morning between 7:45 and 8:00 in quick succession we had a male
Baltimore ORIOLE, Purple Finches (3 females), and White-Crowned Sparrow, all
seen while I was seated at the breakfast table. Easy viewing, but it
This morning I walked the yard and old farm pond patch behind the house and
found a YELLOW WARBLER, two YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERs, a BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER and
a CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER (new patch bird) in the hardwoods and willows along
the pond. Calling beside them was a GREAT-CRESTED FLYCATCHER
7:00-8:00 AM
Aside from one previous report of a calling Am. Bittern for Goetchius, aided by
a very flexible boundary, this was the first AM BI sighting within the
Goetchius and actually this was in the NY DOT portion of the wetland, that I
have heard about.
A female Harrier coursing over

Also, I think I had a GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH pop in briefly. It did not
stay long, maybe 10 seconds. I think it looked around and must have

I arrived back in the Basin yesterday after a month in the field. And it seemed
like a good morning to take a couple of walks. Birding today was like going out
on January first - almost all of the birds were year birds for me.
The trails at Sapsucker Woods produced a bundle of new birds:
Found by Dan Lane. Singing ca 1/2 mile from Burn Road, by bench on north
side of trail.

En route to the Lab of Ornithology on Sunday morning, Miyoko, Tilden and I
saw a male INDIGO BUNTING in the power line corridor off Warren Road between
Uptown Road and Route 13.
In Sapsucker Woods, we found very few of the birds that Bob reported, nor
any of various other interesting finds
A few new birds in the yard this morning, including a YELLOW-THROATED VIREO,
which was a surprise, both for the early date and the location. I believe it is
only my second in the yard ever.
Also, 3 male Rose-breasted Grosbeaks coming to the feeder at once.

A few more birds have trickled into my yard too: Baltimore Oriole, Common
Yellowthroat and Chestnut-sided Warbler. At least one Wood Thrush arrived on
Friday. Now there are several around.

As I read this just now, one male Rose-breasted Grosbeak landed on the
window screen of our sunroom, then flew off.

I've been watching my very busy feeders for much of the afternoon and finally a
male Rose Breasted Grosbeak showed up! He's sitting up in a maple tree
overlooking the feeders but hasn't come down to one yet. Now he's come down to
the ground to feed.
I still have both White Throated and White
We saw two stunningly bright male scarlet tanagers on our midday walk. One was
on South Hill Rec Way about 1/2 mile
east of the Juniper St. entrance (just past the former location of the gate
across the trail).
The second was on the west side of Water Street below the new valve building

A walk around my wooded neighborhood in Myers area of Lansing was very
rewarding this morning. For warblers, we had Black-and-White, Blackburnian,
Black-throated Green, Yellow, Nashville, Myrtle, and American Redstart (males
of all). Other migrants included Warbling Vireo, Eastern Kingbird,
Lots of FOY birds for us in our Brooktondale yard today, including a
White-Crowned Sparrow alongside our plentiful White-Throated ones!

Took a walk this afternoon around the Fisher Old Growth Forest, which I figured
would offer some shelter from the gusty northwest wind. Down at the bottom it
was sunny and warm, and some migrants were actively foraging in the trees along
the marsh edge. Among the Yellow-rumps and Ruby-crowned

from a long trip here. I didn't see him come in, so I have no idea how long
he's been sitting there. There's plenty of food when he's

I left the preserve to the east, walking down the trail to 6-Mile Creek.
Towards the bottom was a small bunch of feathers; small ones gray, but several

Hi All,
The Glossy Ibis was still on Carncross by the bridge this early afternoon. It
was among some Yellowlegs, and some Shovelers. I wonder if there are three
here. There were two immature Bald Eagles down the river and when one would
fly, it would flush the Ibis. It seemed pretty intent on
We have two BROWN THRASHERS today, a new yard bird for us. I have not been
sitting and watching steadily today, bit getting some window time here and
there while doing some renovations. Who knows what is out there that we are
missing.
