Hi all,
My yard Song Sparrow has returned today! Last three or four years dates have

Hi all,
I just had two low, calling CHIMNEY SWIFTS fly over my yard near the Lab of

Back in 1999 some of the local birders who were doing the David Cup held
a survey amongst themselves to determine which birds were predicted to
show up for the first time in the basin. The top ten predictions were

I went chasing Chris T-Hymes Fox Sparrows late this morning - and come
up empty - but was rewarded by a low-soaring Broad-winged Hawk over
the soft ball field.
I was headed downtown to do some errands and stopped off at Stewart
Park to check the lake and swan pen. The trees/shrubs around th

early this morning. He and his wife looked through their field guide and
concluded it was a Yellow-headed Blackbird. It feasted for about 10-15
minutes before flying off.
This was at 70 Murfield Road. The feeder is at the ba
Four Tree Swallows showed up this morning checking out the nest boxes in our
field. The one they seem to want the most already has House Sparrows

Both birds have white rumps,
This morning, I birded the Hawthorn Orchard (Northeast Ithaca, up on East Hill,
just to the Southwest of the intersection of Pine Tree Rd., Ellis Hollow Rd.
and Mitchell Street, behind the Reis Tennis Center) from about 7:30am to
8:30am, kind of hoping for something unusual or really interesting

Thought others would like the refresher.
So I have recorded the winnowing rapidly-descending angular-winged and
long-billed silhouette I saw as my FOY Wilson's Snipe (on Monday).

The recent south winds swept our Fox Sparrows and 95% of our Juncos

airport this morning. I first heard it when still on the main road, then
