Coming out on my porch in the village of Trumansburg at dawn this morning the 3rd I was greeted by the wheep call of the GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER. Further down Bradley there was a GRAY CATBIRD song coming out of the forsythia. Down off of Salo Dr there was the first BALTIMORE ORIOLE male calling. Overall on the dawn walk there were 4 Catbirds, a small flock of PURPLE FINCH, with some singing, and two WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS singing in the same vicinity off of Salo. Could not come up with a single warbler. Jared Dawson T’burg
ps, there have been several people posting results from their homes; I imagine most of the regulars recognize the birders’ names and know the whereabouts of these posts, but I’m still fairly new to the area and would appreciate if people posting would at the minimum put their town or village name in as part of their signature.
