I have seen them do this several times. On each occasion, as they jump in
and out they exchange something. I have seem them do this with berries and
two weeks ago watched a pair exchanging a little bundle of leaf bud. You

outside the open bedroom window. It went on about 20 times, in slowly measured
toots of equal length and spacing, then took a break and tooted some more. The

Since Sunday, May 2, we have had a RUBY THROATED HUMMINGBIRD coming to our
feeder. I tried to send this out on Sunday but it bounced back. Thanks!!

Treman Bird Garden and a SPOTTED SANDPIPER. Also seen on the Wilson
I think this is the first time I have been to the Hawthorn Orchard in
spring and not heard a single Wood Thrush. A multitude of
Yellow-rumped Warblers and one Red-eyed Vireo sang persistently,
though. Most activity today was in the Northwest corner. Other birds
found between 8:00 and 9:00
There was a whip-poor-will calling outside our back door on Ross Road in
Lansing last night at about 8:00 PM. It was in a small, overgrown gully, not
50 ft from our porch. Great sound!

Hi All,
On Sunday, about 6pm we had our 15th new bird species of the weekend, a
BROAD-WINGED HAWK. Like Geo, our pond was/is hosting many mating American
Toads. The hawk took advantage of the easy pickings. I digi-scoped some
rather poor photos in low light from about 300 feet. If you're

Warblers.

While I was pulling garlic mustard vicinity raspberry bushes, two
Baltimore orioles enjoyed the blossoms of our apple tree. Overall, a
pleasant evening.

We have a pair of RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDS and 2 TUFTED TITMICE eating our
apple and wild cherry blossoms. I wonder how many other species eat these
petals?

Re. birds eating petals, I have seen Northern Cardinals and House Finches do
this too. Red-winged Blackbirds have been feeding in my apple tree in addition
to the Baltimore Orioles. Having watched this behavior in orioles a lot, I'm
convinced that the orioles are probing for insects as much as
I had a couple hours to kill today in the Ithaca area so I got

Highlights: CERULEAN WARBLER singing in Jetty Woods. Also
present were several AMERICAN REDSTARTS, BALTIMORE ORIOLES,
WARBLING VIREOS, and 1 YELLOW-THROATED VIREO.
