Hi all, Myers Point was disappointingly quiet this morning despite nice rainy conditions. Orchard Orioles were around as usual, as well as Willow Flycatcher, Scarlet Tanager, and the other usual landbirds. Probably the most notable bird was a MOURNING WARBLER singing from the woods just across the railroad tracks from the end of the driveable area at Salt Point.
The Wilson Trail at Sapsucker Woods was surprisingly active just now, with multiple Blackpoll, Tennessee, and Magnolia warblers, American Redstarts, single Blue-winged, Yellow-rumped, and Chestnut-sided warblers, the continuing immature male Orchard Oriole (seen this time) singing along the edge of the pond, Yellow-throated, Blue-headed, Warbling, and Red-eyed Vireos all singing, and Least and Alder flycatchers (and Willow was reported at the Sherwood Platform earlier as well.) At home in Northeast Ithaca this morning I saw a late RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET in my all-but-flowerless apple trees that often yield interesting warblers when they are in full flower. -- 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/ --
