Highlights at the Durland Preserve this morning were two YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHERS, one LINCOLN'S SPARROW, Hooded Warbler, Nashville Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Blue-headed Vireo, and my first RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS in Tompkins County this fall. I check the plowed fields on Stevenson and Game Farm roads. Lots of Killdeer, but the only other shorebird was a PECTORAL SANDPIPER in the second field on the west side of Game Farm south of 366.
Yesterday after a slow morning at Myers, Scott Haber, Brad Walker, and I walked the Freese Road garden plots. Sparrows are already in good numbers there, and we found 60+ SONG, 20+ SAVANNAH, 1 CHIPPING, 1 FIELD, 1 SWAMP, and *4* LINCOLN'S SPARROWS. -Jay -- 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/ --
