[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Th 5/17

Linda Orkin and I visited the Wilson Trail North in Sapsucker Woods on Thursday morning. We found no new migrants at all (and no May 17 Mourning Warbler), but we did see the ORCHARD ORIOLE singing above the wet wooded patch amid the parking lots. We also heard a NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH by the pond

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Yellow-throated Warbler song question

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Yellow-throated Warbler song question

It is interesting to note that Dave's experience appears to differ from the BNA (Birds of North America) description of Yellow-throated Warbler's song. This is not the first time that I have found the BNA description of sounds to differ from field observations. Have others noticed a

This morning I arrived (8:30am) at Stewart Park to try find the Yellow-throated warbler on Pier Rd. next to the golf-course. I looked at all the sycamores along the edge but there was no warbler. Luckily I persisted because at 9:15am I heard the song faint but distinct. After a while I found
