[cayugabirds-l] thrush fallout this am

Over my section of south Danby, it turned out to be a pretty thin flight of Swainson's (no Gray-cheekeds) in the fallout this morning -- perhaps 100 calls from less than 20 individuals, just guessing, with most of the action between 6AM-6:15AM. Bill -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

[cayugabirds-l] Thrush migration

Greetings Birders, Should be a nice fallout of thrushes in the morning -- lots of Swainson's with Gray-cheeked's in the mix -- especially from about 5:30AM to 6:15AM; perhaps the best thrush flight call listening of the season. They are moving over now but are higher up and the calls are

re: [cayugabirds-l] CayugaRBA GRAY KINGBIRD Van Dyne

Astounding! That's about 3 miles from the location where a Gray Kingbird was found around this time of year in 1987 (23 years ago), and under similar circumstances. I recall former basin birder Dick Evans telling me that someone had reported one and none from local birding community followed
