7:30 pm. Multiple Hermit Thrushes. I'm sitting on a rock right on the Danby/Newfield town line, which corresponds to the boundary between my woods and the westernmost extremity of the L-P Preserve. Hard to say how many Hermit Thrushes are singing down by the brook, as I'm 100 yards up the bank. The brook is quite noisy... Ooh! There's my first Louisiana Waterthrush! :-) Anyway, as I was saying, the number of Hermit Thrushes is hard to tell, but they're definitely here in force. And so are the ticks! Here's one crawling up my shirtsleeve. And here's another on my dog, Sandy.
What a beautiful moonrise! I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's lunar eclipse (c.2:00 am) -Geo Kloppel -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
