Seems like a very birdy morning. No time for birding, alas, but earlier I walked my dog Sandy around at the eastern edge of my property, which coincides with the Danby/Newfield town line and adjoins the westernmost edge of the L-P Preserve in West Danby (an area also known as Beech Hill

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Blue Grosbeaks, Candor

I believe this is an Indigo Bunting. This bird has a smaller bill than a Blue Grosbeak, lacks the broad cinnamon wingbars and also lacks the black border to the bill that Blue Grosbeak would show. Still, Indigo Buntings are great birds. Thanks for sharing the photos. Chris Wood eBird

I led a group of four students on today's trip to Arnot Forest. If you have never been there, it offers a good variety of habitat in over 4,000 acres. There are mature hardwood forests, hemlock groves, logged- over and second growth woods, open fields, ponds, and a major stream. A full day

Hi all, Came down from Rochester today to help lead bird walks at the Cornell Lab's Migration Celebration. The event was great and we had some great birds to show visitors on the bird walks. Highlights at Sapsucker Woods on both the bird walks and while I was birding for about 20 minutes
