Tennessee Warblers have certainly arrived. Only male Tennessee Warblers were seen/heard today, singing vociferously throughout the Hawthorn Orchard. I did not locate any definitive females.
Hawthorn Orchard, Tompkins, US-NY May 15, 2014 7:32 AM - 8:48 AM Protocol: Traveling 2.0 mile(s) Comments: Overcast, some sun. Blustery Southeast winds. Most hawthorn crown flowers have opened. As a result, birds have become more evenly distributed and not so much concentrated in the ravine as they were earlier this week.
