I keep thinking about the migrant Marsh Wren I discovered in its temporary
home, a tiny remnant of Cattails in Newman Golf Course. I’m accustomed to
seeing and hearing Marsh Wrens only during the breeding season and in huge
Cattail marshes like we find in parts of the Montezuma Wetlands
On Mon., 5/4/20 I thought I saw a chimney swift but wasn't certain.
Today I saw 2 over the campus of Union Springs Academy but didn't have
time to watch for more. Swifts have nested in the tall chimney of the
girl's dorm off & on for at least 10 yrs.. I have seen them flying over
here & down
FOY veery in the woods here by Six-Mile Creek, hopping around silently
checking out the large tree that fell over the winter, allowing for a great
unbinoculared view of its spotless front and reddish upperparts. Also FOY
for me Yellow Warbler down near the second dam.

On Tuesday morning, I visited the Finger Lakes Land Trust’s Goetchius
Wetland Preserve. I found a satisfying subset of the species that others
found this past weekend (no Sedge Wren), plus one unexpected new visitor.
Here are some highlights.
* PEREGRINE FALCON overhead, speeding northbound
A “first summer male” yellow w/ black throat, eating jelly at feeder near my
kitchen window!
Meanwhile, 1 of adult males is back at 2nd jelly feeder in back yard, taking
turns w Baltimore oriole male.
What a treat!

Cayugabirds-L List Info:
Not one, but two male orchard orioles just came to my jelly and orange feeder
in back yard!
First ever I have seen Orchard orioles here, not to mention they are my first
of year for these birds.
This was just after a female and a male Baltimore oriole ate the grape jelly
and orange.
