A jaunt from East Hill along the rail trail to Monkey Run and back through the Botanic Gardens produced a number of warblers and other birds this morning including:
Chesnut sided, blue-winged, yellow, common yellowthroat, overbird, hooded (calling on the north side of Fall Creek near the expiremental hemlock plot), redstart; orioles are everywhere, red-eyed vireo, scarlet tanager, rose-breasted grosbeak, wood thrush, kingfisher, green heron, GBH, amongst the usual year round inhabitants. I did not hear any veery, which usually nest around that stretch of Fall Creek. Closer to home in Freeville, a lone adult female Evening Grosbeak was at our feeder station yesterday afternoon and again this morning. A white crowned sparrow was present yesterday as well. Lastly, I picked up a dead blue-winged warbler and wood thrush outside the Vet Research Tower this morning that I will bring by the lab. Enjoy spring! -Andrew Miller -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
