Though outside the Basin, I thought this Eaton Birding Society field trip report deserved sharing with Cayuga Birds.

Reuben had said 7-9pm was the best time. Reuben called me that afternoon to say his wife was in labor with their 4th child, and they wouldn't be there, but we we welcome and could have the run of the place. Most of us met at the Geneva Welcome Center and car pooled. A few met us at the farm. We walked the farm lane, watching and listening. There was a red-tailed hawk being very vocal. We were about half way down the lane when Reuben called to say they had a healthy baby girl, Ella, and he would join us in a half hour. By the time he arrived everyone had had good scope looks at a Savannah sparrow carrying food. Reuben found a grasshopper sparrow with food sitting up and chipping. Everyone got good looks, a year bird for most and a life bird for some. We weren't so successful with the vesper. Congratulations to Reuben and his family on the birth of Ella and a huge thank you to Reuben for opening his farm and leading us to the birds on such an important family day. And thanks to Lyn Jacobs for recording and reporting.
