Livia and I checked Myers Point this morning as we have most mornings. The
only birds of note were two COMMON TERNS on a piece of driftwood out on the
lake to the south. Monday, a young BONAPARTE'S GULL was on the spit. No
shorebirds to speak of since the weekend. A little later I ran out to the
The Terns that roost in Union Springs weren't visible Sunday when Dave, Ann and
I checked. We also looked in Cayuga without success.

I was watching an adult male Orchard Oriole singing along the circle at Myers
Point Park this morning, and I noticed something I hadn't before. When the male
sang, his black throat turned WHITE. When he sang some parts of his song the

At noon, I heard a YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO do 3 series of 6-8 single coo’s from
the exclosure area just south of the covered shelter on Wilson.
I was close enough by the third series to ensure myself it wasn’t a squirrel,
though the pacing and separation of series had already indicated that.

In light of an offline conversation with T-H, I want to amend my observation to

single call series in the past, whereas I thought they were usually double

There is a newish cedar waxwing nest just outside the lab of o main entrance,
above the earlier active robin nest, directly across from the building ledge
with the mourning dove nest (that was built on top of an old robin nest). The

Hi All,
I have a friend who has been watching a cedar waxwing nest. The nest is in a
cavity. He can see some moss and the birds have young. I guess I was thinking
they were late nesters. Wondering if one or both things are unusual.

I went to check on the bird a bit after four. As I drove there I wondered what
a heron was doing down in an apartment complex. But when I found building seven
