I'm not sure where in "Cayuga land" is the best place to find these but the prettiest bird songs to me are the Veery, and the Wood Thrush. Both sing songs no human can come close two. To me, they sound like several tunes at the same time.

As a musician who is often out late and also struggles with a sleep disorder I am not able to be an early riser very often. If I can manage to get out of the house of a morning, can you recommend some places where I might get the most birding bang for my precious morning buck? My favorite things are beautiful songs and breathtaking plumage. I love thrushes, warblers, and mimics especially. So much do I love a pretty song that Song Sparrows are actually one of my favorite species. I know some hardcore birders probably call them "trash birds" since they are so easy to find, but I find their song very beautiful and uplifting. And the first time I laid bins on a Blackburnian I wept. Now that you know what floats my birding boat, if you have a gem of a place or places that you can recommend I would be extremely grateful for your generosity! Thank you for your patience!
