Join the Montezuma Audubon Center this Saturday, May 20 from 1:30 p.m.– 4:00 p.m. for a relaxing 2-mile paddle to explore the Seneca River around Howland’s Island. The water is up and the weather is warming which should make for perfect conditions to explore the largest population of breeding

First for me this year, several EASTERN WOOD-PEWEE singing on Hoyt-Pileated. Also saw NASHVILLE at power line cut, NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH(es) at Woodleton, heard singing BROWN CREEPER (still), numerous Common Yellowthroat and Ovenbird. Followed HAIRY WOODPECKER to the underside of a large high

Just photographed a low close silently foraging swainson's thrush in the hawthorn orchard's "crossroad piazza" along the north trail. It was moving south. Earlier had an uncooperative singing hooded which I think I saw fly away into the distance, and I can hear tennessee, alder flycatcher,

[cayugabirds-l] Pewee, Alder and Scarlet Tanager

Thought this AM would be heavier, after viewing the radar loop, but in addition to the more common species we had our first Eastern Wood Pewee and Alder Flycatcher at around 7 followed by a very loud Scarlet Tanager. New warblers were nil. -- John and Sue Gregoire Field Ornithologists Kestrel
