A few interesting birds are finally showing up around the Ithaca area this
week. Last night, John Garrett found a very dull female-type AUDUBON’S
YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER along the trail on the north side of the water
treatment plant just east of the Farmers Market. Checklist here:
If anyone would like an uncharacteristically good (for Ithaca) view of a
male Long-tailed Duck, there is currently one sleeping next to the docks at
the Johnson Boat Yard, close to the dock at the north side of the farmers
market, with a good view across from Cass Park as well.
