Yesterday I got two male Rose Brested Grosbeaks who’ve also been here today.
Then this morning I got two male Baltimore orioles. A while later the Catbird
showed up. The special surprise was a male Indigo Bunting! What an exciting
bird day!

I’ve had a few new migrants. Today there was a White Crown Sparrow.
Interesting since I usually get White Throats first. I had a Dark Eyed Junco a
couple of days ago. I do not have them all year like some around here do. My
favorite was the Red Breasted Nuthatch who stayed several days eati
I had a lovely little flurry of migrants this morning. I had two Whited
Throated Sparrows, two female Purple Finches, and the a Red Breasted Nuthatch.
I hope they stick around. My Cooper’s Hawk has been around a lot so even my

Hi all,
Lots of migrants in our yard on Hunt Hill Road today, and yesterday. This
afternoon we had 2 bay-breasted warblers, a blackburnian, black-throated green,
redstart and common yellowthroat warbler. Just now, 6:15ish, a Swainson's
thrush popped up to eat the berries of the red-osier dogw
Yesterday we were entertained by a busy Brown Thrasher and a female
Flicker. A Ruby Crowned Kinglet made a brief stop.

Hi all,
This evening between 5:30 and 7 pm there was a large migrant flock moving
around our yard on Hunt Hill Rd, east of Ithaca. They went back and forth and
generally stayed in the vicinity, which I found unusual and wonderful. As
always, they were moving fast from spot to spot, hiding behind
Last Friday I had a Red Breasted Nuthatch for one day. It was unbelievably
tame and came within a foot of me. It’s only the second time I’ve had one
here. I haven’t seen it again, unfortunately.
I have four White Crowned Sparrows. One is an adult and the other three are
first year Birds.
I’ve had two White Throated Sparrows the last three days. I’ve also had a few
Yellow Rump warblers coming for the bayberries. I had so many last year they
stripped the bushes clean. Not this year. My only other warblers were a
juvenile Yellow Throat which do nest in my yard, and a female Red
I went out at 5:45 for the pre-dawn chorus. The temperature was 32 degrees F.
From my place on Tupper Road I walked a few hundred yards over to Beech Hill
Brook in the Lindsay-Parsons Preserve, hoping for some Hermit Thrushes. On my
way I passed several Eastern Towhees that were exchanging "chew
All,
The word fallout has been thrown around liberally on this list this spring,
but this morning was the closest to a landbird fallout we have had so far
this year. Our northeast Ithaca yard boasted 14 species of warblers,
including NORTHERN PARULA, NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, MAGNOLIA, BLUE-WINGED,

While standing at our bay window looking at the birds, I noticed
movement out of the corner of my eye. As I slowly turned my head to
look, I was wonderfully surprised to see a resplendent PINE SISKIN
feeding at our window feeder. Our FOY --- for a couple of years! We
also had our FOY PURPLE
New in my 'yard' this morning were more singing Fox Sparrows, a lone Chipping
Sparrow, several Golden-crowned Kinglets, and one or two singing Purple
Finches.
Turkeys are gobbling, Ruffed Grouse are drumming, and I'll be on the watch for
returning Hermit Thrushes.

Migrants are still moving through. I've been out 5 minutes, just walking around
my yard this morning, and I've already got Mourning Warbler and Yellow-bellied
Flycatcher.

Had 4 Cowbirds yesterday. Just found 3 Grackles on the feeders. The Bluebirds
have been here daily in the early morning. The feeders are busy as would be
expected with this storm.

After seeing the big push of migrants last night that lit up the Binghamton
radar, Jessie and I took a walk around Monkey Run. Nothing particularly
unusual, but several new local arrivals including Spotted Sandpiper, Bank
Swallow and Pine Warbler. Also good numbers of both kinglets, a singing Wi
New to our yard for the year today are a couple of robins, and also two Turkey
Vultures. And slightly out of basin, I heard a Killdeer through our open
sunroof as we drove back from Two Goats in Hector. A springy day indeed!

Birds of note this morning include
a late Least Flycatcher in the hawthorns in front of the entrance to the
Lab of Ornithology
continuing Marsh Wren at the Lab, today very cooperative in the marsh

two Cape May Warblers in spruces on Sapsucker Wood
Today, I could not resist the temptation to be lazy, watch for migrating
raptors, test out my new camera, and visit with my parents. I stopped by their
place at Vine Street in the City of Ithaca on East Hill and started watching
skyward for migrating birds, sometime around 10:45am. I continued a
Radar images early this morning suggested "fallout" conditions
in the southern tier of NY. There were fairly heavy radar bird echoes
across PA with much less returns in NY...especially
north of Binghamton. A cold front dropped south last night
and migrants eventually encountered northerly winds
Lots of warblers seen today. I toured around to lots of spots around the
Ithaca area throughout the morning. I started at the Dodge Rd spruces, where
there was BLUE-WINGED WARBLER, CAPE MAY WARBLER, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, COMMON
YELLOWTHROAT, YELLOW WARBLER, WILSON'S WARBLER, and in the field

Hi all,
Today morning from 5 to 5.40 am I listened to migrant birds and recorded some
of the calls. Based on the calls and the spectrogram, there were several
groups of VEERIES that flew overhead. There were also some ROSE-BREASTED
GROSBEAKS and at least one WOOD THRUSH. I also heard somethi
