A surprise in the yard this morning was a late migrant BLUE-HEADED VIREO -- 2 singing SCARLET TANAGERS, and 2 lingering a WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS were also nice, but still no warblers.
On an early morning cruise behind the Ithaca airport, new "patch" birds included a singing BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO on Etna Rd. (@6:45 if first of year), E. WOOD-PEWEE, another singing WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW, and a few shorebirds in the back pond on Neimi Rd -- 1 LESSER YELLOWLEGS, 2 SOLITARY SANDPIPERS, and 3 LEAST SANDPIPERS.
