I had occasion to be in the neighborhood, so I took a walk in Sapsucker Woods even though it was mid-afternoon and about 80°F, therefore very quiet in terms of birds. It was so summer-like that I heard my FOY Bullfrog calling, "Wawaron" (or "Ouaouaron," which is the Québécois term for the critter,

Yesterday evening and then again today (2 May) there was a blackburnian
warbler off of Eastman Hill Rd. south of the intersection with Heisy Rd.

I think I'm the one who omitted mention of a location today, so for the benefit
of new readers, the one known regular breeding location for Worm-Eating
Warblers in the Cayuga Basin is Thatcher's Pinnacles (Danby State Forest,
overlooking the upper Cayuga Inlet valley at West Danby).

Hi all,
In my wanderings this morning, I cam across a Warbling Vireo newly arrived at
the Cornell Plantations Arboretum, in a river birch at the end of the wooden
bridge over the pond, the same spot where they have nested in the past. Later a
second WAVI landed in a different tree, was joined b
I can add to this list a single Great Crested Flycatcher calling to the NW of
the Hawthorns and a single quiet skulking Brown Thrasher just at the SW corner.
There was a flock of 4-6 White-throated Sparrows working the bushes along the
stream to the South of the Hawthorns and a single Swamp Spar
Thanks Laura ... I've often thought the same thing. Help others. Also remember,
when forwarding someone's post, please delete all the Cayugabirds info at the
end as well as non-pertinent info.
I side-tracked to Mud Lock this a.m. & saw the ospreys at the former eagle
nest. We saw no fewer than
Hi all,
It would be really great if we could all remember to mention the location
when we are posting sightings to this listserve. We all become so familiar with
the area that we sometimes forget, but we must remember the new people to this
list and to the area who might not be able to benefit
Hi all,
A noon-1:15 pm walk on the east side of Sapsucker Woods Rd., in SSW was mostly
quiet but did reveal a few nice birds.
There were 3 NORTHERN WATERTHRUSHES singing off the Woodleton Boardwalk, 2 on
the north side and one on the south. Near the small pond in the along the East
trail, on t
I did a quick check for Worm-eating Warblers at 10:00. They don't seem to have
arrived yet. The chestnut oaks are not yet unfurling their leaves, so on that
basis I think it may be a couple more days. I did find quite a few
Black-throated Green Warblers and one Black and White Warbler. I also pa

We spent about an hour migration watching from between the Hawthorn Orchard and
tennis courts on the east side this morning and had a few birds. Highlights
included Eastern Kingbird, Rose-breasted Grosbeak and some nice patch birds
like Purple Martin, Chimney Swift, Red-brested Nuthatch and Pine
About 4 days ago, Shirley put some chunks of fresh orange on the feeder to
attract orioles and today her efforts bore fruit. (Sorry, but I couldn't
resist that.) Male Baltimore Oriole about 9 am, might have been there
earlier but no one was up to see him. Before today, a Red Bellied WP had

Alicia (& all),I looked at the radar last night shortly after you wrote, but didn't have time to respond. I know a little about radar, but unfortunately I was locked out of Dave Nicosia's lecture, so maybe others know more. Short answer: It looked like bird migration to me, but as Suan mentioned I
