I apologize for the delayed post to Cayugabirds-L, but I did want to relay on this eList—to those who are not actively engaged with the CayugaRBA GroupMe alert app, or who have not set up an eBird RBA notification for hourly rare bird sightings in Tompkins County—there was a shy adult male

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: Worm-eating Warbler

For anyone interested in trying for the bird, it seems to be sticking to the north "ravine" area right on the trail. I walked towards the rec way and didn't have luck, but on my way back to the car the bird was right over the trail foraging very low and singing sporadically. It was mostly giving

From Brad Walker: "The worm-eating is now singing and foraging very low over the path near where it was originally reported. Foraging and singing an alternate song low in a Hawthorn.” Sincerely, Chris T-H On May 12, 2022, at 10:06 AM, Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes mailto:c...@cornell.edu>>

I haven’t yet seen this posted here, and I’ve not had time to go birding much at the Hawthorn Orchard, but today a WORM-EATING WARBLER was found by Jasdev. The bird was seen foraging in the Northeast corner/area and singing periodically. This was posted to the GroupMe CayugaRBA by Jay McGowan.

This morning, I birded for a short while with Melissa Groo, before doing more exploration of the area alone. I ran into Jay McGowan for a bit, plus another individual whose name I didn’t get. Early on, there was a single Veery near the entrance by the softball field, and part-way into the

Saturday morning (5/22), Scott Anthony and I birded the Hawthorn Orchard for about 2-1/2 hours. The best bird was probably the worst seen: an extremely distant Great Egret in flight over the valley, headed South. It turns out this was a new species seen from this location, which brings the
