I don't usually find Cape May Warblers at home, but this morning there are
several feeding and singing in the tops of the spruces.

After a discussion about Cape May Warblers I decided to stop at the Ithaca
City Cemetary to check the tall spruces. I didn't get that far. Just below
the Stewart Ave. entrance there's a short road that goes off sharply to the
north and over that road and up toward Stewart Ave. stands a

I did the same thing too! And found Merlin singing away! I also went to Green
hills cemetery and except for the Red-Breasted Nuthatch, Chipping Sparrow and
Great Crested Flycatcher no body was there.

I've been to the cemetery several times this spring, but haven't heard or
seen the Merlin yet. Tim and I had a Merlin flying around Cayuga Heights
(as seen from Sunset Park, looking south) on Friday. Maybe this is the same
bird?

That's a good one, Meena--a cemetery with no body in it.

I hope everyone else also had a great laugh with my previous mail!
I meant nobody else was there. My brain moves faster than my fingers and adds
whatever words it feels like adding. As Marie suggested, anyway even if there
were bodies, I could not have seen as they were probably buried years
This morning Tim and I went to Hawthorn expecting to find little and
were pleasantly surprised. The numbers were low, but we found a nice
mix of warblers, all in the NE corner, mostly down the slope of the
ravine, and all singing persistently: Canada, Northern Parula
Migrants have all but deserted Sapsucker Woods this morning. The only
non-resident warblers I saw were 2 YELLOW-RUMPEDS. Non-warbler birding was good
though, with 53 species. List below.
Good birding,

I watched a pair of ORCHARD ORIOLES foraging this evening at Salt Point. Saw
no clue as to nest site. I watched the female vocalize once- she gave the
typical whistled note that usually accompanies the chuck calls, and then two
upslurred notes, something like: se shooee shooee. The Male was
I've been sitting the last hour here in the cemetary, watching a (presumably)
female merlin hanging out on the highest naked snag atop a pine, calling
regularly and making frequent flycatcher-style forays. Then, a moment ago, a
slightly different call signaled the arrival of a (presumably) male
This morning, I met up with Katy Payne, who joined me for a couple of early
morning hours of birding. We birded the relatively quiet but peaceful Hawthorn
Orchard from about 5:45am to 7:45am.
Best bird was a single adult male ORCHARD ORIOLE that sang one explosive song
just as we were getting
This morning, after a stop at Agway, I decided to bird the Renwick Wildwood
Sanctuary (located South of/adjacent to Stewart Park in the City of Ithaca), in
hopes of locating the Yellow-throated Warbler seen there for the past week.
Despite my efforts, I did not encounter any Yellow-throated
I'm thrilled the Merlins are back in the cemetery. After Stuart's post I
stopped by and had terrific views of the female on the bare treetop. As with
Suan, the male and female would call and respond several times then he would
swoop in, copulating, then off again. They did this two times with a
