Last night, around 1:00 a.m., I stepped outside to check the moon, and was
greeted with a lot of different birds singing. Somewhat taken aback, I thought
this was a bit too early for the dawn chorus, and further reflection indicated
that MOCKINGBIRDS often sing at night. I haven't heard our
Several years ago at Salt Point I heard a Brown Thrasher include Whip-poor-will
in its repertoire. I wondered if the mimid had heard the nightjar at that
location. Similarly last year (I think) where a Whip-poor-will had earlier
called near The Strand in Lansing, a Gray Catbird give a similar
Hi everyone,
It's a bit strange, but not unprecedented: I heard a LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH
singing for about 5 minutes in a low area of vernal pools in Sapsucker Woods,
on the east side of Sapsucker Woods Road. While I first heard the bird from
the Woodleton boardwalk, I tracked the sound to
Still pretty quiet around my place, though the trillium, blue cohosh,
toothworts, hepaticas and trout lilies are blooming. Most notable bird on my
morning walk was a Winter Wren visiting a previous year's nest site inside the
upturned root ball of a huge cucumber magnolia (visible from Maple
Our barn swallows arrived yesterday during the morning hours, 3 in total.
Many more than that left here last fall, I always wonder if some of the
others succumbed to the stress of the trip or moved elsewhere. It looks
like there is enough insect activity for them.

Jay McGowan, Livia Santana, and I saw the two baby GREAT HORNED OWLS and
their mother out of their nest in a neighboring tree at the Newman Municipal
Golf Course in Ithaca on Wednesday morning. One young owl appears much
bigger than the other, but I think that impression arises from retained
FOY brown thrasher here a mile north of Taughannock Falls SP. Perched atop
the tallest tree in our yard for about 20 minutes, softly singing a long
song about love in the springtime.

I walked all around the Baldwin Preserve (aka Park Preserve, South Unit) this
morning. An observation: following the path from the parking area along the
small creek, ALL the bird songs emanated from the scrubby unmanaged area across
this creek, to the north. I heard nothing from the
On Mon., 4/27/15, Kathy Strickland I played hookey journeyed to the
Rochester suburb of Irondequoit to look for the female Varied Thrush.
After about 15 min., thanks to the quick eye of Jim Tarolli of
Baldwinsville, we got to see it, a lifer for the three of us!
Several people had been
Seems our BARN SWALLOWS finally arrived last night, about a week or more
later than usual. There are at least 3 of them in the barn and few flitting
about, a great welcome to a sunny spring day!

Saw my FOY BROWN THRASHER singing heartily. Also my FOY HERMIT THRUSH.
