There were two eBird reports of Nelson's Sparrow sighted this morning at Hog Hole (SW Corner of Cayuga Lake), but I've not seen these posted to Cayugabirds-L.
As a reminder, for a bird such as Nelson's Sparrow, although predicable in location and timing of migration, I'm sure there are dozens who would appreciate receiving notice of something like this sooner in the day via Cayugabirds-L or the CayugaRBA. If you hear of something like this, but are not the original finder, please don't hesitate to post a "heads-up" message to the list and/or CayugaRBA – don't worry about stealing the thunder on rarities; it's more important to get the word out. Thanks!
