I found a few migrants, possibly new arrivals, in Sapsucker Woods on
Thursday morning (6:45-7:30 AM).
* ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK above the puzzling stop signs at the bend in the
road by the main building;
* BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER along the Woodleton Boardwalk;
* NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH
The fall out here included a rare spring Yellow Palm Warbler as well as Yellow
and
Yellow-rumped. The first Eastern White-crowned arrived yesterday along with an
unusual tween the lakes flyover of 23 Cormorants. Tree Sparrow and Fox still
with
us.

I heard and then saw a beauty of a Blackburnian (aren't they all ;) singing
from our treetops this morning.

I was a half hour behind Mark, I guess: from 7-745 I walked the northern end of
Hoyt-Pileated, finding 3 BLUE-HEADED VIREOs, 2 of whom were interacting vocally
and by chasing each other through the treetops, while the other was some
distance away singing. Numerous BROWN CREEPERs in full song;
I walked the Wilson Trail from 7:45 to 8:30 and found some variation to what
others saw earlier. Most of the activity was from the Fuller Wetlands to the
Sherwood Platform. Mixed in with the LOTS of Yellow-rumped Warblers and a few
Ruby-crowned Kinglets along this stretch were two PALM
I had time for a brief walk in Cass Park and along the railroad grade behind it
(is it officially the Black Diamond Trail yet?) and met another part of the
ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK wave, first heard singing, then a male seen. Also a
NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH sang a couple times from a wetland, and
Finally an Ovenbird this morning. Far western Lindsay-Parsons Preserve, along
the Newfield-Danby town line. Ruby-crowned Kinglets everywhere. 3 Blue-headed
Vireos. I'm still hoping for some Warblers to pipe-up as the treetops warm in
the bright sunshine...

Had our first one this morning too. I take it as a good sign for more warblers
to show up soon!

A male Indigo Bunting was sitting silently on the power lines in the
cleared area at the north end of the Hoyt-Pileated trail at Sapsucker Woods
this morning. Another new arrival was a Black-throated Blue Warbler that
was singing very intermittently along the Wooldeton boardwalk.

I just found my FOY Baltimore Oriole in a large tree by the Johnson Art Museum
at Cornell. I heard its simple, yet rich sounding, song as I was sitting on
Libe Slope. I went to investigate, and found a bright orange splash at the top
of a larch (or whatever the NYS version of a larch is)
A walk around the Goetchius Preserve this morning turned up the following:
3 Eastern Meadowlarks flying around as a group, several times, with lots of
dt calls. Sometimes appeared to be chasing. Singing also heard.
Wilson's Snipe heard winnowing briefly a couple of times.
American Kestrel
Here they all come! Whoopee!

Every spring I suffer from what i call migrant envy. Today it is really
strong - there are loads of reports, especially from Sapsucker Woods, of
migrants showing up while here on Hunt Hill Rd, east of Ithaca, town of Dryden,
the dominant species are still Pine Siskins, Purple Finches, Juncos,

I guess this is the day for returning R-b Grosbeaks as they showed up at
our house in Caroline Center this morning as well as everywhere else it
seems. We are often a few days behind other locales when it comes to
returning migrants so it seems like they showed up en mass last night/this
morning.
Mine too! They must have arrived en masse last night.

Late this afternoon in the mouth of Fall Creek between Jetty Woods and Stewart
Park (Ithaca), there were dozens of immature Herring and Ring-billed Gulls (the
adults having migrated off to breed) circling around low and occasionally
dropping briefly to the water. Every time, the gull would fly
