All, Livia I walked around Sapsucker Woods and back this morning from around 6:00 to 8:30. The Wilson Trail was quiet on the way out but had picked up substantially by 8:00. Only completely new species we saw was a TENNESSEE WARBLER foraging with two NASHVILLE WARBLERS in the flowering maples high over the inner leg of the trail, viewed from along the pond by the feeder blind. Other warblers here included BLACKBURNIAN, PALM, YELLOW, YELLOW-RUMPED, BLACK-THROATED GREEN, BLACK-THROATED BLUE, AMERICAN REDSTART, COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, and OVENBIRD. A PRAIRIE WARBLER sang once near the Filler Wetlands early and once by the footbridge later, but we never saw it. An ORCHARD ORIOLE was singing briefly from near Fuller Wetlands as well but quickly disappeared. No sign of the Orange-crowned on the east side, but a MAGNOLIA WARBLER was singing from the pine grove near the shelter.
LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS continue at the south end of the lake. Several were on the red lighthouse jetty and on the lake last night and this morning, and we counted seven in a gull feeding frenzy along the inlet near Cass Park two nights ago: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S23250804 -- 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/ --
