Hawthorn Woods should be a great weekend for birding. If you happen to come
across a Honda car key, please let me know. I lost it somewhere in the
middle where the horse jumping equipment is. I walked up one side and down
the other. I had much better luck seeing birds, than searching for the key.

I have not seen this on the list-serve, but this afternoon at 4:18pm I got a
Rare-Bird-Alert text message from Jay McGowan saying that Richard Crossley
reported an adult LITTLE BLUE HERON which flew from Mays Point Pool across I-90
towards the Main Pool at the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge
Since I was in the area, I decided to take an evening stroll through Yellow
Barn State Forest, from Yellow Barn Road to Tehan Road. First bird I saw was a
Blackburnian - a propitious first bird - one of two countersinging high in the
trees. Other warblers include redstart, black-throated blue, o
I saw Jay and Livia this morning in Sapsucker Woods, but missed almost all
of the bird species that they found. To their fine list, the only passage
migrants I can add are a BLUE-WINGED WARBLER along the road and a HERMIT
THRUSH along the Wilson Trail South. I spent a couple of minutes trying to

We also have a pond with many (>100) breeding American toads, and we've
noticed crows lurking about, though we haven't actually observed predation.
One possible reason for the crows' preference for the liver is that the
parotid glands and skin of the toad produce bufotoxin, which may be
poisonous,

I'm a couple of miles from Skaneateles Lake. I just watched an Osprey snap a
couple of branches off the top of a tree across the road on rt. 20, then fly
toward toward the lake. It's a new "yard bird" for me. Now I've got to see
where it might be building a nest. awesome!

Around my yard, Common Yellowthroats, Black-throated Green Warblers and
Chestnut-sided Warblers are more numerous today. There are plenty of Wood
Thrushes and Veeries and Ovenbirds, Catbirds and Towhees and Rose-breasted
Grosbeaks and Purple Finches and so on, but just a single Indigo Bunting. I
I've been watching the gull feeding frenzy the last several evenings. They
are definitely catching something.
I drive that way every day and cannot recall this happening before and
especially not so many days in a row. Anyone care to speculate on what they
are feeding so frenzily on?

All,
Livia I walked around Sapsucker Woods and back this morning from around
6:00 to 8:30. The Wilson Trail was quiet on the way out but had picked up
substantially by 8:00. Only completely new species we saw was a TENNESSEE
WARBLER foraging with two NASHVILLE WARBLERS in the flowering maples high
I just watched a House Finch displaying for a lady. They were both on the edge
of the birdbath. He was talking away. He'd bow and flutter his wings, raise
his tail up high. She didn't act too impressed and slipped off the birdbath.
Another male came along and they went at it fluttering stra
Hi all,
I spent an hour in the Hawthorn Orchard today. It was very quiet except for a
few species.
South-end had a few Nashville Warblers and a Meadowlark singing. Somewhere in
the middle of the orchard there was a new arrival - Common Yellowthroat and
then there were three Rose-breasted Grosbe

This morning I played the song from my Merlin app just twice. He flew around me
and checked it out. Then he not only answered but practically landed on my
head. What a cute little bird.

Our late populating South Danby elevation has an added voice this morning -
a Wood Thrush singing his incredible suite of joy.
