[cayugabirds-l] Renwick/Fuertes

I just had this message from my old friend Bob Budliger, currently living in Vermont: Saw the conversation about names used in Stewart Park. When I was first at CU in 1953-55 we birded the hell out of Stewart Park (everybody was limited to a daily walking radius in the day). Renwick was the

[cayugabirds-l] NE Ithaca, Wed 5/9

This morning, my short walk with my son from Simsbury Drive to Northeast Elementary School revealed more migrants than I've ever found before in hundreds of trips along this route. I had no optics (stupid of me), but I heard a CAPE MAY WARBLER, a few BLACKBURNIAN WARBLERS, a BLACK-THROATED GREEN

[cayugabirds-l] Renwick mourning warbler

Hi all, Tim and I just spotted a male mourning warbler singing briefly and moving about the wooden walkway at Renwick Woods. We also had two LINCOLNS SPARROWS at the swan pen and a TENNESSEE WARBLER earlier with Ken Rosenberg. Brad -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

[cayugabirds-l] Mulholland G.H. Owl

Walking to work today via 6-mile-creek/Mulholland, I found a great horned owl, my first ever unassisted owl sighting in the east (OK, assisted by a pair of crows). Other highlights of the walk were a pair of pileated woodpeckers, my FOY pe-o-weee, a scarlet tanager singing and chick-breeing

Forgot to mention . Mon. evening (5.7.12) I was thrilled to see FOY CHIMNEY SWIFTS flying overhead. Didn't get back outside to see if they went to roost in the tall chimney of the girl's dorm at US Academy where I had seen them last fall ... so much hoped they would decide to return this
