This morning I climbed to the top of Sorry Hunter Hill (1,920 summit, West
Danby). I encountered a number of Scarlet Tanagers along the way. Hooded
Warblers and American Redstarts are also back in force. Lady slippers are just
peeking out of the leaf litter.
Without looking for it, I
I went back to the creek to see if any of my regular residents had returned. I
heard the Warbling Vireo and Yellow Warbler who has right now come close enough
to the house to hear him singing. I could also hear the Catbird. Returning to
the house I spotted an Eastern Kingbird in the birch
Having hung the hummingbird feeders yesterday, I was delighted to see one
having a late brunch about a minute ago.

Good morning!
I stopped by the Hawthorn Orchard this morning a tad later than yesterday.
Ran into Nancy, Holly and Tom, and Jackie and Phil.
Dynamic, relatively quiet, got quieter as the sun got higher and the heat began
to intensify. Northeast corner around maple treetops seemed most active.
Hi all,
Matt Medler and Dan Lane found a WILSON'S WARBLER foraging very low and
very cooperatively on the Wilson Trail directly behind the photo
blind/feeding area, while on the inner leg. It was still there shortly
after they found it, but it was being silent and foraging low.

Hi all,
Livia and I took the morning off to check around Montezuma, hoping to find
the reported Little Blue Heron. We were unsuccessful in that regard, but
had a lot of nice birds.

Willow flycatchers are back on my road this AM. Now I know it was safe to
remove the snow tires! (Usually I'm not convinced until the lilacs arrive but
they're not out yet...)

It was our first trip to Hawthorn this year and very worthwhile. In
addition to Chris' list we heard a BLUE-WINGED WARBLER repeatedly in the NE
corner of the orchard before he arrived. Also we say a GREEN HERON as we
arrived around 7AM.

For the past couple days we've had a RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD with ORANGE
EPAULETS --- no red whatsoever. Have others noticed this in this
species before?

At this time of year, there are many yearling (hatched in 2014) males who are
not yet in full color. Having orange epaulets is not unusual for this age
group. I know of one orange-epauleted male that actually bred with orange
epaulets, but there were complex reasons he got a chance.
There is

I went looking for birds on Friday morning at the Salmon Creek Bird
Sanctuary, a Finger Lakes Land Trust preserve in Lansing (6:10-7:00 AM).
This 33-acre preserve used to host as many as 48 breeding pairs of Cerulean
Warblers as recently as 1998, but today as in other recent years, the

I was out front of the house just now, looking for BATS. At 2047, 2 appeared
flying in tandem. In the next fifteen minutes, they flew over 8 times, always
in tandem, from 1' to 4' apart. They moved very quickly; this was not typical
foraging behavior. It looked to me like a synchronized
