Hi all, I was planning on taking a walk on East Ithaca recreation way till Game Farm Road, but at the last moment decided, I will go to Hawthorn. So I entered from North-western side, where there was a PILEATED WOODPECKER banging on tree and making his presence known. Then I came across a

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Audio Challenge

Hi All, I just posted a clip of about 7 minutes recoding of birds I recorded while standing in one location in Hawthorn Orchard on May 11 2013 around 8.oo AM. Where birds moved around, at least some of them (not catbird) and some sang two different songs for the same species. Also some of

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard Park Preserve

We spent about an hour migration watching from between the Hawthorn Orchard and tennis courts on the east side this morning and had a few birds. Highlights included Eastern Kingbird, Rose-breasted Grosbeak and some nice patch birds like Purple Martin, Chimney Swift, Red-brested Nuthatch and

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard Park Preserve

I can add to this list a single Great Crested Flycatcher calling to the NW of the Hawthorns and a single quiet skulking Brown Thrasher just at the SW corner. There was a flock of 4-6 White-throated Sparrows working the bushes along the stream to the South of the Hawthorns and a single Swamp

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: *Thursday* AM

I realize this is a bit late, but wanted to get this out there anyway, in case anyone wanted to go see some Fox Sparrows that may still be in the area. Yesterday morning from about 7:30am to 8:30am, there were still 5+ FOX SPARROWS in the brambles section down in the North ravine from the

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: Fox Sparrows

This morning, I birded the Hawthorn Orchard (Northeast Ithaca, up on East Hill, just to the Southwest of the intersection of Pine Tree Rd., Ellis Hollow Rd. and Mitchell Street, behind the Reis Tennis Center) from about 7:30am to 8:30am, kind of hoping for something unusual or really

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchards: Public Meeting on UNA Designation

Hawthorn Orchards (and Salt Road Fen) to be designated Unique Natural Areas. This announces a public meeting. I don't know much about it, but looks like this is an info session for the public rather than one at which the public speaks. Perhaps someone can add more details? Sandy Podulka

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard - 21 May 2012 - Quiet

Another quiet morning at the Hawthorn Orchard. I was there from 5:30am to 7:15am Highlight was a single migrant Alder Flycatcher singing its re-beeer song. This bird was down in the Western portion of the middle of the Hawthorn Orchard. Also, at 5:30am, a single Cooper's Hawk came flying across

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard - 18 May 2012 Very Quiet

I birded the Hawthorn Orchard area this morning from about 7:45am to 8:30am. It was another quiet morning there. Only one likely migratory individual, a female Black-throated Blue Warbler. As evidenced by the foraging behavior of this individual, the food resources in the Hawthorn Orchard are

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard - 16 May 2012 - Quiet - Ad. Male Orchard Oriole

This morning, I was at the Hawthorn Orchard, giving it a little more time, from 7:30am to 8:45am. It was dreadfully quiet; however, a single singing adult male ORCHARD ORIOLE made up for that. This bird was frequenting the trees and bushes along the West side of the South Rugby Field (West of

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard - 15 May 2012 - Very Quiet

This morning, from about 7:30 to 8:00am, there was very little activity, except from local birds. Possible migrant arrival Common Yellowthroats. I'm fairly certain that the Wood Thrush has departed from the site. Female and male American Redstarts were in the North ravine. At least five Common

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard - 13 and 14 May 2012 - Devoid of Migrants

The past couple of mornings, the Hawthorn Orchard has been devoid of migrants. It was unnervingly quiet today and yesterday. It certainly appears that most migrants in the area have moved on and have not been replaced by anything new coming in from the South. The Wood Thrush that was holding an
