I was at my friend's house on Skaneateles Lake and heard my first
catbird of the year. Now I'm waiting for mine to appear. She also had
a pair of red-breasted nuthatches. At home I heard a rufous sided
towhee singing "Drink your te". I've had white throated sparrows
for several days
Some Highlights from Sapsucker today included WINTER WREN (East trail),
CAROLINA WREN (northeast side of the pond), YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER (near the
90 degree bend in Sapsucker Woods Road), and PALM WARBLER (same place). Also
lots of RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS and two very busy YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKERS
Hi,
Talking around Sapsucker Woods this evening, I heard a Warbling Vireo near

Best, Ann Mitchell

White-throated sparrows arrive every spring at this time around my
house in Scipio. They scratch the leaf-litter, explore the ground

Thursday while on horseback near ponds off West Genesee Street Road/
Short Road, Aurelius, we disturbed three trumpeter swans that had
been on the pond bank. They circled and headed back towards the
refuge. Thanks to the Lab of O, I identified them this morning by
their calls. I remember rea

I spent almost 3 hours combing the Dryden Lake Trail for new migrants this
morning. No warblers at all. 41 species total, but nothing new. While
watching 2 N. FLICKERS copulate, I saw the female turn her head around
toward the back, while the male leaned forward and to the side, and they

Today a Ruby Crowned Kinglet was singing from the spruces in my yard. I could
hear him from inside the kitchen even through my closed doors and windows. His

with visuals his red crest fluffed up and the tan spot behind
I heard one NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH on Friday morning east of the Woodleton
Boardwalk in Sapsucker Woods. This waterthrush sounded like a typical
Northern Waterthrush -- not one with the "Woodleton accent" (dip in pitch in
the middle, then emphatic at the end -- very distinctive in 2001-2003, less
About three or four years ago I found similar differences in songs of Northern
Waterthrushes. All in the same location, that is Sapsucker Woods on the Dryden
side of the trails.
Initially, I distinguished them by sound, then I recorded them and looked at
the sonograms. I was surprised that my
