[cayugabirds-l] George Rd Great Egret
A few minutes ago I had a GREAT EGRET foraging with a couple of Great Blue Herons in the western shallows of the wetlands along George Rd, west of Dryden. The egret was visible from Hart Road looking SW, but not from George Rd.

Conditions when we were here somewhat better with temp 78-83F (still hot for this early)! Calm wind. Clear. Most bird song had ended with only a few warblers singing the odd song. Highlights included a singing male CERULEAN WARBLER, a NORTHERN PARULA and a WORM-EATING WARBLER!!

Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia) 3 Chestnut-sided Warbler (Dendroica pensylvanica) 17 None showed any sign of green to upperparts yet. One male in particular was only slightly worn, appearing more like a bird in early June. Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle) (Dendroica coronata coronata) 1 Cerulean Warbler (Dendroica cerulea) 1 **Rare/local in summer in Tompkins County. A male sang twice from the woods on the west side of the two main ponds, which we heard from about 150 meters away. We walked over and eventually saw this male. We never heard it sing again, but it did call several times. This is the first Cerulean Warbler for the main portion of Lindsay Parsons in eBIrd. Chris T-H and Martjan had one 14 June 2009 at Thatchers Pinnacles in the same location where they and Utami found a breeding pair (and nest) atop Thatcher's Pinnacles, just SW of the main Pinnacle in 2007. Black-and-white Warbler (Mniotilta varia) 4 American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla) 1 Worm-eating Warbler (Helmitheros vermivorum) 1 *Local/Rare in summer. This bird was NOT up the far hillside (!!), but along the main trail system right where the trail crosses the railroad tracks. First detected the bird by high thin tssi-tssi flight notes. Also called several times, a sharp hard dchik. We had exceptional views of the bird which foraged at eye level for several minutes. The bird was in very fresh plumage and appeared to be a first-year based only on the very clear plumage (all other adult warblers we saw today except for one Yellow were either molting or fairly worn).
