[cayugabirds-l] spring like morning

[Laura Stenzler]

Hi all,

 This morning sounded like spring in our yard. MANY Ruby-crowned kinglets 
singing, 1 blue-headed vireo singing, several white-throated sparrows and a few 
robins also in song. There was also a flock of 5 or 6 yellow-rumped warblers 
accompanied by one Nashville warbler. And I'm sure I missed others in that 
flock.

The bird is still present this morning along the southern shore of Salt Point, 
working up and down near the creek but often hard to see.

Tom Schulenberg reported a Dickcissel in the NE corner of the Freese Rd 
Community Gardens a few minutes ago. Town of Dryden a quarter mile south of 
Hanshaw Rd, east side.

All:

The Freese Road gardens situation isn't as dire as it sounds. I have a plot 
there so I have received emails about it from the organizers. 
Here's a snippet from one:

Unfortunately there has been no success at finding an alternative spot for us 
gardeners. A location on Dodge Road was identified, but it needs work for 
drainage and a road and there is no money to pay for it, so until we can return 
to Freese Road, the club will be on hiatus.

As a birder and a gardener, I am doubly saddened by the loss of this spot, but 
I am hopeful that we might get it back in a couple of years. 
And who knows? Maybe it will continue to be a good spot for fall sparrows 
regardless.

It's a bit worrisome that there isn't even an alternative site for the interim.
I wonder what the effect of the hiatus will be.
Will the demand for garden plots dissipate
