I didn't think there would be much migrating in last night but some
birds showed up here (SW corner Town of Ovid, Seneca Basin). Best was a
male Rose-Breasted Grosbeak who spent 45 minutes first thing this
morning gleaning the oak tassels and ignoring our sunflower feeders, and
hasn't been seen since. Also a mob of White-Throated Sparrows, we've
had a few this past week but as of today they are everywhere singing
their hearts out. A couple Red-Breasted Nuthatches (uncommon on our
property) and the barn swallow contingent has gone way up in numbers.
Still have a lot of Yellow Rumped Warblers, but as of today they are
joined only by a couple of Palm and one Pine Warbler.
Don't recall ever hosting a RB Grosbeak ahead of our first Baltimore
Oriole before. Birds like to mix it up.
