[cayugabirds-l] Lawrence's Warbler, Ellis Hollow

I just found (and still have in view) possibly the most beautiful warbler I've ever seen, an adult male LAWRENCE'S WARBLER. It is at the Durland Preserve off Ellis Hollow Creek Road in the first hedgerow on the right after you take the first right at the big field after the entrance path.

[cayugabirds-l] Great Horned Owl - Juniper Drive

I heard a Great Horned Owl hoot briefly this morning at 0530 h. It was probably in the vicinity of the gate at the end of Juniper where it meets the South Hill rail trail. I have observed much concerted crowing of crows down there over the past 10 days and have wondered if there was a big owl

[cayugabirds-l] Glossy Ibis continues at MNWR, +phalaropes Rte 89 overlook

The Glossy Ibis continues at Mays Point in the Montezuma NWR. From the overlook on Rte. 89 (or behind the hunter check station), 3-5 phalaropes were seen in the distant mud flat. The closer ones were Red-necked; farther ones I did not have an opinion on given the distance. Plenty of
