Hi all,
This morning sounded like spring in our yard. MANY Ruby-crowned kinglets
singing, 1 blue-headed vireo singing, several white-throated sparrows and a few
robins also in song. There was also a flock of 5 or 6 yellow-rumped warblers
accompanied by one Nashville warbler. And I'm sure I

Dear Cayuga Birders:
OK. So there are male Red-winged Blackbirds at Montezuma in mid January.
That means we should be seeing phoebes by February, and a big wave of
warbler migration by late March, right? Should be a an interesting year...
And what better way to bear witness to the the wild
We've had Fox Sparrow singing around our feeder since 1 March, and this

song. Spring is absolutely marvelous. Just pay attention to the
