Pair of crows building a nest in big silver maple right next to my house. I 
think they started 2 days ago. Have had several busy periods in that time. I 
hope they stick with it.



I need to plant some tiny tree seedlings under the drip line of that tree. Hope 
it won’t disturb them too much.



Sheffield Road, Ithaca/Enfield town line.

Hi Mona,
Being conservative about that assumption is probably wise. It is worth noting 
that in eBird, the breeding code "S" has been changed to "Singing bird" to 
reflect our changing understanding of this behavior. If you're not seeing that, 
you may need to update your app.
 
Cheers,
Jay

this problem as well and it does affect the reporting of breeding codes as all 
singing birds would have to be seen and sexed to report “singing male.”  Any 
thoughts?

I just had my FOS Song Sparrow.  I also had a surprise, a Redpoll! It was only 
my second one this season.  The Grackles and Red Wings have been here for many 
days.
