I have posted some photos of the White-eyed Vireo yesterday and the American Avocet today on my Picasaweb site, starting here: https://picasaweb.google.com/111137855303614931880/Summer2012#5764318833869508722
With a good vireo here: https://picasaweb.google.com/111137855303614931880/Summer2012#5764318841363986850 And the avocet starting here: https://picasaweb.google.com/111137855303614931880/Summer2012#5764681747165003778 The vireo yesterday was singing right at the parking area at the Roy Park Preserve on Irish Settlement Road in Dryden when we arrived, and after moving around a bit, it headed back into the preserve. Tom Johnson and Chris Wood refound it a little while later, still singing intermittently, along the woods edge at the western-most part of the park (essentially the northwest corner, just south of the trailer/house at the northwest corner). It was moving around a lot and singing only in spurts, so although several people tried for it and failed yesterday afternoon, it may well still be in the area. The avocet was being cooperative on the jetty this morning. The view was pretty distant from Stewart Park, but was better from the white lighthouse and should be great from Hogs Hole in the afternoon. Other birds included 33 CASPIAN TERNS on the jetty and 5 PURPLE MARTINS overhead. -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology [email protected] -- 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/[email protected]/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/ --
