This morning the first male Rose-breasted Grosbeak appeared at our feeders.
Looking at some past records, I noted that last year on 5/2/10, there
was a crowd of SEVEN male RBGrosbeaks feeding peacefully at our feeders!
We have usually had two pairs breeding in our yard or somewhere close,
Birded Hawthorn around noon today. Only bird of special note was a very
attractive YELLOW-THROATED VIREO singing its sore throat song. Also
spotted a wad of pink fiberglass insulation draped around a branch of a
tree.

A couple of Pine Siskins just dropped in at my place too, to join the
Goldfinches and Purple Finches.

We believe the Eastern White-crowned Sparrow Nancy had over winter in
Mecklenburg
ended up here, a couple of miles uphill. It was a nice young brown bird (SY)
until a
couple of weeks ago. On the 24th (if I remember the date correctly) we banded an
EWCS that was all black and white
Susan, Ann, Stuart and I birded around Ithaca yesterday. Starting at the Swan
Pen the only new bird was COMMON YELLOWTHROAT along with Palm Warbler,
Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Yellow and Yellow-rumped Warblers that I think have been
all reported earlier.
We tried walking around to Jetty Woods but
My wife, poor thing, is confused. Substitute BOBOLINK for B. oriole. I did
hear a B. ORIOLE in the yard yesterday, however, which got her very excited.

Take time to enjoy the trillium as well as the birds in Shindagin. In fact,

The temperature was very cool up in West Danby's traditional Worm-
eating Warbler habitat this morning: apart from a querulous Hermit
Thrush and a couple of Chickadees, the place seemed almost deserted.
Between 9:00 and 9:30 small groups of apparently migrating Blue Jays
flew past below me
After my walk this morning on Mt. Pleasant, where I found no pipits, I had
just energy enough to walk around the Baldwin (nee Park) Preserve. Coming
in, I heard 4 songs of a PRAIRIE WARBLER, coming from the small pines on the
private property just to the north. Did not see it. Continuing, I had

Brown Creepers and Ovenbirds seemed to be singing everywhere in Sapsucker Woods
this morning from about 8:30-9:30. At the Woodleton I saw the northside
Northern Waterthrush and heard the southside half of that duelling pair. I
then ran into an incredible profusion of Yellow-rumped Warblers
Hello everyone,
I was leading the 7 AM group today (Sunday) on the Spring Field Ornithology
trip to the banding station at Braddock Bay. While not strictly speaking an
all-birding trip (many uncountable birds in the hand...but really nice looks as
a result), it was a very enjoyable time
