Hawthorn Orchard, Tompkins, US-NY May 9, 2014 7:27 AM - 9:41 AM Protocol: Traveling 0.5 mile(s)
Comments: Really good morning and enjoyable to witness the continued daytime stream of nocturnally migrating warblers, calling as they flew overhead. Early on, most birds were in willows and ravine just North-Northeast of the softball field. Later, birds were along North ravine edge and at scattered points throughout the Hawthorn Orchard. The Hawthorns are not anywhere near blooming yet, but some apple trees were in full bloom. Shaping up to be a nice spring.

There were many more overhead that I am sure I missed (I could hear them). Those which were seen were low to mid-height. Even after 10am, I heard and saw some individuals migrating mid-height while I was walking through a parking lot. Many of these had very short "seet" flight notes, suggesting Nashville, Parula, Cape May, etc. All visible birds were generally flying in an Easterly direction, with South-Southeast winds this AM.
