Re: [cayugabirds-l] at least one migrant left

[Kenneth Victor Rosenberg]

There are still migrants passing through my yard, so at least some birds are 
still moving. Yesterday I heard a singing YELLOW-THROATED VIREO (third one this 
spring), and today I had singing MAGNOLIA WARBLER, SCARLET TANAGER, and 
RED-EYED VIREO (none of these nest in my neighborhood). Last night I heard 
several SWAINSON'S and GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSHES, and a loud CANADA WARBLER flight 
call.

A Gray Catbird just outside the staff gate was singing a complex song that 
included a nearly perfect Alder Flycatcher song.  I was fooled for a while 
until I realized the flycatcher only sang when the catbird did, and it was in 
the wrong habitat.  I watched it sing and confirmed that it was the catbird.  
Very strange tonal shift in the middle of the song.  I tried to get a video.  I 
have the vocals, but not the visuals, I think.
