I spent over an hour in and around the community gardens on Rt 13 this
morning, accompanied some of the time by Dave Nutter and Paul
Anderson. We did not re-find the Orange-crowned Warbler. Here's hoping
that it took advantage of a calm evening and managed to escape south.
In the area, though, I scared up a Carolina Wren, Northern
Mockingbird, and Song Sparrow.

I'm sorry for not posting the details on this bird earlier, but
yesterday during the Ithaca CBC, I found a fairly bright ORANGE-
CROWNED WARBLER in the Community Garden south of Farmer's Market in
Ithaca. I flushed it initially with a flock of juncos from the south
end of the garden on the east side of the entrance road -- the
garden still is (was) pretty green with vegetable leaves and weeds.
The bird sat up in the brush pile just south of the garden boundary,
and then flew off to the south. Later in the afternoon, Tim Lenz
relocated the warbler along the weedy edge of the field to the south
of the garden, closer to the CITGO station.
This was a first record for the long-running Ithaca CBC, but exactly
the kind of bird I was hoping to find with the lingering warm
weather and greenery. Good luck to anyone hoping to re-find this
bird, especially as the first cold blast of winter weather is
approaching....
