Hi all, Chris's e-mail reminded me of the morning. Today morning around 5.30 am, I heard a single call of Black-bellied Plover flying overhead and a few seep's of warblers. Meena Meena Haribal Ithaca NY 14850 http://haribal.org/ http://meenaharibal.blogspot.com/ __

Just a heads-up that there may be a notable movement of birds southward from Canada and other areas to the North of us. If anyone wants to try for it, there could be a good thrush descent between about 5:40am and 6:00am, with the bulk occurring around 5:50-5:55am. As the thrushes descend from mi

I got there around 1:30 or so and walked part of the Wilson Trail. I was rewarded by a foraging flock of warblers on the trail by the pond and past the blind and feeder. The warblers in order of appearance were Bay-breasted, Blackburnian, Chestnut-sided, Hooded, Nashville,and a spectacular look

Hi all, I birded Mundy during lunch time. Birds were hard to come by. But I did see in one spread out group where I saw a single specimen of each a Magnolia, Red-eyed Vireo and a Philadelphia Vireo along with chickadees. Slightly apart from this group was a single young Tennessee Warbler. All ne

Birding along the Wilson Trail North in Sapsucker Woods was quite excellent on Thursday morning. By moving rather quickly and making one repeat pass, we found ourselves among seething flocks several times. Highlights, shared mostly with Stuart Krasnoff and Lynn and Frank Roman, include the follow

Out walking with a friend this morning around about EcoVillage & neighboring Plantation woodland, came across a bird party - lots of chickadees. So stopped to check it out in case any migrants were hanging out with them. I put my glasses onto what I thought was a chickadee or nuthatch and found

Hi all, There was a nice variety of birds along the Wilson Trail north this morning between 7:50 and 8:50. A low foraging BAY-BREASTED Warbler greeted me along the path to the Fuller Wetlands. At one point it flew down to the ground at my feet! A bit further along was a MAGNOLIA WARBLER. All
