For those keeping track of first arrivals, there was a single COMMON YELLOWTHROAT singing along this same Larch Meadow trail on Saturday, April 24. Nothing else new yet today....

It's a cool area, with some big trees and flooded areas reminiscent of the woods at the south end of the lake as well as an overgrown marsh and adjacent steep wooded hillsides. Highlights were LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH, NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, 10+ SWAMP SPARROWS, and family of CAROLINA WRENS including four fledglings with short tails and bills but capable of respectable flight. The rest of Sanbank had nothing of note, but a NASHVILLE WARBLER was singing on Jersey Hill Road and a male BOBOLINK was displaying on West King Road. Good birding, Jay McGowan ********************************************** Ken Rosenberg Director of Conservation Science Cornell Lab of Ornithology Ithaca NY 14850 Phone: 607-254-2412 cell: 607-342-4594 [email protected] www.birds.cornell.edu -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
