[cayugabirds-l] Fun and (minor) tragedy at SSW

Unfortunately almost the first bird of the day was a BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER who sang once as I stepped out the back door of the lab, then flew up from a perch probably on our BBQ grill a couple feet from the windows, smacked it, broke his neck and fell to the ground. I picked him up hoping

My addition to the hawthorn reports is a (the?) yellow-throated vireo which sang from a tall tree across the recway from the SW entrance, flying a couple times but not staying put long enough to get my binoculars on it before flying off. Also a green heron calling from the small pond. I saw a

I found this breeding plumaged Ruff at Larue’s Lagoon on the drive at MNWR. I watched it for awhile. Then Mark Miller showed up and he took some more photos. I posted it with BirdLog NA. I called others to come and look but the bird flew off to the north.

[cayugabirds-l] More on SSW today a question about the BirdCast forecast

Usually 11 warblers on May 10th isn't so exceptional, but this year it felt like a jackpot! Late in the morning there was a (live) BLACK-THROATED BLUE hanging out with two or three BLACK-THROATED GREENS at the northeast corner of the Hoyt Pileated Trail. Initially he sang a weird song partway

[cayugabirds-l] R-T Hummer

Just had a Ruby-throated Hummingbird at the azalea by our front porch on Savercool Rd off Rte 89. The initial attraction seemed to be a small hybrid lilac blooming nearby. It did not stay long, probably due to two large critters sitting within a yard or two. Bill and Shirley McAneny, TBurg --
