A large, loose mixed flock of warblers is around the middle of Tareyton
Drive in NE Ithaca this morning, maybe some of the same birds as yesterday,
including 5+ singing CAPE MAY WARBLERS, 2+ singing BAY-BREASTED,
Blackburnian, Nashville, and Yellow-rumped. Some are in spruces, others are

Most birds were in NE corner and in any tall oak trees in the area.
Good birding!!

Yesterday I heard a song, a thrice repeated ascending arpeggio, roughly a
musical perfect 4th between each: g c f, g c f, g c f (just to give an
idea). This was downtown, S Albany St a block north of the traffic circle.
They are whistling or piping sounds, quite musical. Fairly easy to imitate

Mark Scheel, Tilden, and I went to the Tareyton/Rosehill intersection in
northeast Ithaca on Friday morning to follow up on Jay's 7 AM report. By
7:55, the greatest bird activity seemed to be in Tareyton Park at the north
end of Tareyton Drive, on the sunlit edge of the woods. Here we saw male

I've also heard White-crowned Sparrows do roughly these intervals.

Pitchwise yes, but the call I heard yesterday featured 3 distinct and
separate and slower tempo tones, not the glissed over middle tone on the
recording you referenced.

Yesterday at Lindsay-Parsons Preserve, West Danby, I heard a Baltimore
Oriole singing just three loud, piping, ascending musical notes that might
also fit your description. LNS # 112697 has some that resemble it.

Hi Everybody,
The LNS 112697 that Don refers to here is a recording archived at the
Macaulay Library (of Natural Sounds) at the Lab of Ornithology. You can access
this recording by going to macaulaylibrary.org. Next to the field 'Search
recordings by species', click on the '+' (ie the plus
I have them regularly over the yard, Slaterville/Burns Rd., and am sure they're
nesting close by. The local crows never miss a chance to gang up on them this
time of year.

I think May 17th is an early but possible date for Raven fledglings. If you're
around the area frequently, their loud begging calls should give them away. In
fact they get pretty darned loud even before they leave the nest. You can often
hear Raven nestlings from several thousand feet away.
We haven't found the Stilt Sandpiper but found a Wilson's Phalarope in breeding
plumage at Benning marsh.

Folks have suggested C Wren and B Oriole, but don't think so. This bird was

In our quest to look for the Stilt Sandpiper, and finding instead the

we don't have it. Most likely it fell off at Benning Marsh, or

I have been surprised to see a Common Raven a couple times this spring along major roads between Ovid and Seneca Falls, which I hadn't figured on being their habitat, (but neither did I think Pine Tree Road in Ithaca was). I also saw a possible Northern Goshawk thereabouts, but perhaps it was
