In addition to the usual breeding warblers and other forest birds, exploring around Summerhill so far this morning has turned up a continuing CLAY-COLORED SPARROW singing from the middle of the Christmas tree farm on Lick Street just north of 90 (audible but mostly not visible from the road), and a flyover calling RED CROSSBILL, most likely Type 1, at the same spot. Lots of butterflies and dragonflies as well.
Yesterday Livia and I visited Texas Hollow and Rock Cabin Road in Schuyler County. It was a hot afternoon and we were more focused on insects, but a singing ACADIAN FLYCATCHER at Texas Hollow and coots and Marsh Wrens in Queen Catherine Marsh were a nice backdrop.
