This morning's bird of note was a Lincoln's Sparrow in the open, brushy swale on the west side of Sapsucker Woods Road, just south of the trail heads. It's getting late for Lincoln's Sparrows in our area. Good birding, tss -- Thomas S. Schulenberg Research Associate Cornell Lab of Ornithology

[cayugabirds-l] northeast notes: YTVI in Sapsucker Woods

I was surprised to find a very late Yellow-throated Vireo working along the north edge of the small pond at the "Frog Barn" (91 Sapsucker Woods Road) this morning. I think the latest previous record in eBird is from 25 September! Less exciting birds around the same pond included a Gray Catbird

This morning while walking the dog I found a Nelson's Sparrow somewhere other than Hog Hole. I doubt if the bird can be relocated, but then, who knows what else may be in the same location? There is a field of tall grass (switchgrass?) along the west side of the northern portion of Bluegrass Lane

A few observations this morning from northeast Ithaca and adjacent areas: Pectoral Sandpiper: 2 in the usual field along Hanshaw Road, just west of the mouth of Sapsucker Woods Road. These are the first I have seen here since Sunday (16 October), when there were four present (before a dog walker f

The field along Hanshaw Road, near the mouth of Sapsucker Woods Road, can be productive for shorebirds when wet (as it is now!). I just had four Pectoral Sandpipers in this field, in the shallow grassy "pan" that has been full of Killdeer for the past couple of weeks. Yesterday, there were 3 Grea

Our joy of bedroom window birding this week has been the two male orioles visiting the hummingbird feeder. The hot coffee early in the morning adds to the pleasure. Tom Vawter On May 20, 2011, at 8:43 AM, Nancy W Dickinson wrote: > Our alarm went off at 5 a.m., and a minute later a l
