[cayugabirds-l] Cornell Siskin Flock

Walking up to Cornell campus today, I was distracted by a din of calling birds near the Cornell Bookstore. Getting closer, I started hearing distinct buzzy calls that made it clear the din was from a fairly large flock of PINE SISKINS in the trees to the E of the campus bookstore, near Day Hall. I

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Cornell Siskin Flock

I had a similar experience on campus yesterday and encountered three separate large groups: One at Balch Hall on North Campus, one on the Arts Quad and one at Wee Stinky Glen near the Cornell Store. The third group was the lowest and spent a lot of time in the small stream at that spot. - Brad

[cayugabirds-l] eBird -- Hawthorn Orchard -- May 15, 2013

Very difficult birding the Hawthorn Orchard today. Cool blustery Southeast winds followed by rain showers. Most birds were vocal by calls only, and very limited song. Largest Yellow-rumped flock seemed to prefer Western interior of Hawthorn Orchard. Highlights: male HOODED WARBLER at NE

[cayugabirds-l] Wilson's Warbler, Yellow-bellied FC, Sapsucker woods

Hi 1:45 today (Wed) there was a Wilson's Warbler and a probable Yellow-bellied Flycatcher in the evergreens near the main entrance to the Lab of Ornithology. The Flycatcher was very yellow underneath, wingbars and an eye ring. I haven't seen enough of them to be 100% sure. Then they

[cayugabirds-l] More Wilson's on Wilson's

Three first of years on this afternoon walk at Sapsucker: I found a nice male WILSON'S WARBLER right down low in plain sight a few feet in front of me, just off the pond where Wilson's Trail turns up the small rise before the footbridge also around 1330 today, so maybe a different bird than
