[cayugabirds-l] Errata

For those with nothing else to read: My post from earlier today mentioned Bay-breasted Warbler twice. It should have been "2 CAPE MAY WARBLERS doing the same”. And “Sudan” Danskin. I don’t think so! (Thanks Stu) Bob -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCO

On Saturday, I led two walks at Finger Lakes Land Trust preserves in the southern Skaneateles Lake watershed, both less than an hour from northeast Ithaca. At the Bahar Nature Preserve in Niles, our group of ten birders found a fine mix of passage migrants and presumed summer breeders, including o

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard Monday

I got there a bit before 7 this morning, immediately ran into Stu Krasnoff and shortly thereafter Sudan Danskin, Laura & Ton, and Marjolein (sp?). Together we observed and listened to a wonderful variety of migrants: multiple Tennessee Warblers, 3 Bay-breasted Warblers foraging in a group, 2 Bay

[cayugabirds-l] Really cool wind map

This one is even cooler than the one I sent last year: https://www.windyty.com Check it out, birdy weatherwatchers! Be sure to note that you can choose the altitude of interest and you’ll find amazing differences. For example, last evening, surface winds were very mild and non-directional. 3000

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods migrants

Hi all, Migrants of note this morning include a Swainson's thrush on the inner leg of the Wilson trail, Eastern wood pewee, multiple Tennessee warblers, and a Blackpoll warbler singing on the north side of the building. Brad -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/Cayugabird
