[cayugabirds-l] Cape May Warbler, Yellow-bellied Flycatcher on Sapsucker Woods Road
Not in the same league as yesterday's warbler of the day*, but this morning I had 2 Cape May Warblers at the Frog Barn (91 Sapsucker Woods Road) - foraging at mid heights in the open bit of woods between the barn and Sapsucker Woods Road. Farther south, on lower Sapsucker Woods Road, was a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. Good birding, tss * which I never saw! -- Thomas S.

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods at Noon
Sapsucker Woods at noon, for me, was rather quiet. At the point where the Wilson Trail north divides I encountered a Red-eyed Vireo and a Blackpoll Warbler. The main pond had several Eastern Kingbirds and a fly-by Green Heron. The rest of the Wilson Trail was quiet. I ran into a small foraging flock at the edge of the pond behind the frog barn: Magnolia Warbler, Pine Warbler, calling Wood Thrush, and what I took to be the resident Common Yellowthroat.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods at Noon
I also did not see many migrants in the late morning around Sapsucker Woods. However, on my way out of work this evening around 5:30 I encountered a couple nice flocks, the first an almost completely Oreothlypis-based one of 4+ TENNESSEE WARBLERS (a couple drab adults and a couple bright greenish-yellow juveniles) and several NASHVILLE WARBLERS moving around in the alders and nearby trees at the east end of the Fuller Wetlands. Then I walked the powerline cut on the Dryden side, where I found 2 MAGNOLIA WARBLERS, 1 male WILSON'S WARBLER, American Redstart, Ovenbird, and a fairly drab YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER. Warbler migration is already in full swing. As far as I can tell, at least 22 species of warblers have been seen in Sapsucker Woods in the past week or so (Ovenbird, Northern Waterthrush, Blue-winged, Black-and-white, Tennessee, Nashville, Kentucky, Common Yellowthroat, Hooded, American Redstart, Cape May, Magnolia, Blackburnian, Yellow, Chestnut-sided, Black-throated Blue, Blackpoll, Black-throated Green, Pine, Yellow-rumped, Prairie, Canada, and Wilson's), and another two (Northern Parula and Bay-breasted) nearby. On my way home this evening I also stopped by the SPCA fields off Hanshaw, and sure enough, the juvenile WHIMBREL is still there. -Jay On Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 2:10 PM, bob mcguire bmcgu...@clarityconnect.com wrote: Sapsucker Woods at noon, for me, was rather quiet.
