[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma complex

Yesterday I had delightful looks at the prothonotary warbler near & going into the nest box on the west side of Armitage Road (across canal). Lots of other birds there too, including a veery. Later at Mays Point I saw 2-3 black terns & 2 pretty yellow-throated vireos, among other birds. Later

Yesterday I visited two Finger Lakes Land Trust sites near the Danby/Ithaca town line. The non-warbler passerines took an unexpected turn on center stage, delivering charismatic, genre-bending, intimate, and utterly endearing performances for me, a rapt human audience of one. * WINTER WREN

[cayugabirds-l] Howland Island question

I’m contemplating a trip to Howland Island tomorrow, but have never been before and am wondering if anyone has any tips. Are there specific routes that are better for birders? Do you recommend a driving loop or walking? Thanks for any insights you can offer. Best, Sandra Babcock Ithaca --

A search this morning from the top of the hill where the worm-eating warblers breed did not yield the worm-eating for my friends and I. We heard song several times but after seeing an eBird report from Lindsey at the base of the hill about the same time we were at the top which said they were able

This afternoon, about half way along the driveway leading down to Cayuta Lake’s public boat launch, I inadvertently started a “conversation” back and forth between one of Merlin’s recordings of a Worm-eating Warbler and something that sounded very, very similar, but remained successfully

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Howland Island question

If you park and cross the bridge at the south end (Howland Island Road), follow the trail and take the right fork to Lost Pond. That area was dripping with warblers on my first visit there many years ago with Spring Field Ornithology. I think I got 4 or 5 life birds that day. On Wed, May 20,

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Howland Island question

Howland Island once had farms, and there is an old network of dirt roads, now crisscrossing between recently created dams. So, mostly one can just walk along those dirt roads, starting from either of the 2 access points, which is as far that one's car can go, and see the woods, the fields,
