At 7:10AM this morning, Chris Wood reported a flyover CATTE EGRET on Warren Road south of Rt. 13, heading SE. Livia and I drove around Bluegrass Lane and the Game Farm/Compost area in hopes of relocating it a little later in the morning, but we were unsuccessful. Keep an eye out, though, and let everyone know if you happen upon this bird!
Lots of gulls at the compost, but nothing out of the ordinary. We walked around the Freese Road gardens afterwards. The cold front has increased sparrow diversity slightly there, with 2 LINCOLN'S SPARROWS and 2 SWAMP SPARROWS joining the throng of SONG SPARROWS, as well as a continuing handful of SAVANNAH SPARROWS and FIELD SPARROWS. We had 2 WILSON'S WARBLERS, 1 YELLOW WARBLER, and a NASHVILLE WARBLER in the hedgerow on the east side, and INDIGO BUNTINGS are still present in the fields as well. Good birding. -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology jw...@cornell.edu -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
