An ACADIAN FLYCATCHER was singing in its usual gorge on Ford Hill Road in Lansing this morning. We also had Louisiana Waterthrush, Northern Parula, Blackpoll Warbler, Tennessee Warbler, Hooded Warbler, and Magnolia Warbler there. Myers Point was pretty quiet and lake levels have drastically reduced shorebird habitat there. A male ORCHARD ORIOLE was singing from the tall spruce as you cross the railroad tracks, mostly in adult plumage with chestnut breast and belly but with greenish sides, so perhaps a second-year male.
Not too many migrants around Sapsucker Woods this morning either, but I did hear Blackpoll, Tennessee, Magnolia, and Wilson's warblers, and Brad had a Canada Warbler at the powerline cut. A YELLOW-THROATED VIREO was being very vocal on the Wilson Trail, and the immature male ORCHARD ORIOLE is still singing constantly from the same spot as yesterday. -Jay -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology jw...@cornell.edu -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
