I don't have much to add to Mark's list but I had at least 3-4 Ovenbirds and several Hermit Thrushes. I can also add my FOY Great-crested Flycatcher but I can't remember the name of the trail (between Wilson Trail and Sapsucker Woods Road). Drew --- Drew Fulton Drew Fulton

Taking advantage of the warm weather, Larry and I went up the lake today to verify directions to certain birding spots for the soon to be updated Birds of Cayuga Basin Guide. After reading all of the posts, I think we should have stayed in town and done some local birding! However, we

Yesterday afternoon around 5, I was yard-birding, essentially trying to chase down the loudly calling PILEATED WOODPECKER, one of several that we have had resident for years. He was circling his territory, which is roughly our 2 acres plus woods beyond to the east and west. He did a great job

I was just about to post details when Jay's message came in. There is only a bit that I can add. First, there are now some sticks on the ground pointing to the trail where the vireo was last seen. It appears to be moving around a bit, so be patient and listen carefully. In addition to

Hoping that a few of the VERY early spring arrivals might trickle through my yard, I was out during the sunny period early this morning -- it was fairly quiet except for the songs of PURPLE FINCH, WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS, and KINGLETS. As usual, there were a few interesting flyovers -- a pair
