Again I was a little overheated when I posted just now. Cape May was the SECOND most abundant warbler species of my walk today, after Yellow-Rumped. I'll try to be more deliberate in upcoming posts (but I can't promise you that I'll succeed if the birding continues like this).
Mark From: Mark Chao [mailto:markc...@imt.org] Sent: Saturday, May 10, 2014 7:42 AM To: 'Cayugabirds- L' Subject: Sapsucker Woods, Sat 5/10 Last night's winds seem to have dispersed and turned over yesterday's fallout birds, but there is still plenty to see today in Sapsucker Woods. I had six CAPE MAY WARBLER sightings on my circuit of the Wilson Trail (6:00-7:00 AM) - two males and a female together by the footbridge over the outlet stream, a female at the Wilson/West intersection, and a male and female together near Ruth Davis's arbor south of the feeder garden. Cape May was the most abundant warbler species of my walk!! (If you are new to this species and want to find it, focus especially on spruces and flowering trees - especially the pair near the footbridge cited above.) Chestnut-sided, Blackburnian, Black-throated Blue, Black-throated Green, Northern Parula, passage-migrant Northern Waterthrush, and other warblers are still around. I also heard a BROWN THRASHER singing in the power line cut. Mark Chao PS. Yesterday Jay McGowan found ****98**** species of birds in Sapsucker Woods! One of these, a Prairie Warbler, brought yesterday's warbler tally to 24 species for the sanctuary. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
