Last evening, Susie & I noted a large handful of CHIMNEY SWIFTS flying over
the Firehouse Diner in downtown Candor, NY.
And for years, we have watched another bunch of them over the ice cream
stand in Richford, NY. (not every day, of course)

I just saw a briefly cooperative, green-backed, yellow wing-barred,
tail-flicking, "chew-wee"-calling Yellow-bellied Flycatcher in the
mid-NW portion of the Hawthorn Orchard in NE Ithaca. More details of
the AM later today. Good birding! - Chris T-H

I did a walk through Shindagin Hollow this morning. It was probably one of
the best walks I've had there in years, birdwise, especially for warblers.
Soon after starting I encountered a large feeding flock of the little guys.
I stood, literally, in one spot on the road and identified 13 species in
Today, from about 9:00am to 11:30am, I spent time wandering around the
Hawthorn Orchard in search of migrants. The wind made it difficult to locate
individuals, but I managed to see and hear a few birds. Below are the
details of what was there this morning:
1 Belted Kingfisher (flyover)
1 YELLOW-
Geo,
Over this way Hoodeds prefer Maple forest with medium understory. No morels!
However, under those old apple trees is the real connection.;-)
Have also founded Hooded nesting in dense second growth - similar to Chat
habitat.

Hello all,
I'd like to thank the near 20 people that joined me for this morning's Lime
Hollow bird walk --for you
Basinites out there, 90% of LH is in the Cayuga Lake Basin. :-) Lime
Hollow bird walks take place
throughout May every Saturday at 7:30. While things weren't amazing this
morning,
Matt Medler and I spent the day checking through the many hundreds of
shorebirds currently at Montezuma, in addition to a few spots closer
to Ithaca. Despite the very windy conditions, we managed to find a
surprisingly list of species!
We started the morning by checking the Fort Hill Rd (La
Interesting. These old orchards adjoin maple forest - including one
block that we call the "sugar bush", where there's no understory to
speak of beneath the maples. Walking from the sugar bush into the
orchard you hit a wall of dense shrubbery that's nearly impenetrable
except where we mai
Hi all,
It was the last class of SFO and we spent time in Arnot Forest.
I think this is one of the best trip I ever had in Arnot. Now we can predict
almost where what residents could be seen. Almost all the birds we saw we got
fantastic views of these birds except for CANADA WARBLERS and LOUISI
My SFO group also stayed at Arnot Forest from 7am-4pm, but we were slower paced
and did not try to go to the top, so we missed several of the field and early

BILLED CUCKOOS well, and a couple of us had a great
I too heard the Barred Owl, but thought it might have been the person
leading the kids group that was in proximity to Mark and Alicia, so now I am
thinking this was a bird rather than a human calling. I faintly heard a
reply from deep in the dryden side forest, but only once. While on the
