Now on pole nest near Rice Rd & Cayuga View Rd, T-burg. We think he has been
around for almost a week but positive ID today.

[cayugabirds-l] Yellow rumped warbler

2017-04-10 Thread Michele Mannella 
We took an evening stroll at Sapsucker Woods this evening.
Aside from the deafening but delighfful spring peepers which were our
reason to go, highlights were 2 phoebes, one yellow-rumped warbler, one
very busy beaver and two huge turtles trolling in the shallowy mud.  It is
beautiful there.
