On the way home from birding the Montezuma area yesterday afternoon, we saw a
white wing Turkey Vulture over the DEC check station. It drifted low over the
station, so we were able to get an excellent look at the white pattern. It
eventually moved north and out of sight.

Hi all,
I've been away for the last while, and so I'm not sure if people have had
their fill chasing BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS, but at about 8 AM this morning I saw a
flock of 90 perched in the trees a bit to the west of the white barn (Kip's
Barn) in Sapsucker Woods. As far as I could tell with my
As of about 10 minutes ago, these birds flew off over the woods along the
powerlines/parallel to route 13. But they seem to like that spot, so it's
worth checking every so often.
Other birds of note in that spot include singing PURPLE FINCH and FIELD
SPARROW, along with several Phoebes.

I came upon an EASTERN TOWHEE Sunday morning in the shrubbery along the Frank
J. Ludovico Sculpture Trail which is on the south side of the Erie Canal in
Seneca Falls. Dark-eyed juncos were singing away! Here is my eBird report.

I checked out the east side of Dryden Lake park this morning. A Ring-necked
Pheasant was calling loudly, and spring peepers AND woodfrogs were chorusing
too. A female Hairy Woodpecker was drumming. Tree Swallows have arrived in
force, and the local Eastern Bluebirds (who still have no nest) now

It was a gorgeous day outside, so decided to take a walk in Mundy.
It was very sweet to hear Chickadees doing "phoebeee". Then there was real
Phoebe doing his non-stop "phirbee". From the creek I heard an incessant
chatter of a Belted Kingfisher for long time. No mergansers on the creek, but I
Despite stiff winds all day, our SFO day trip group to Montezuma NWR, led by
Bill Ostrander, saw a total of 58 species on our way around Cayuga Lake (eBird

We started in Stewart Park where we were treated to numerous waterfowl,
starring a NORTHERN PINTAIL, a PIED-BILLED GREBE

Yesterday afternoon I had 3 PHOEBE at Upper Buttermilk, as well as a

HI all,
For my photo projects this spring/summer, I am looking for White-breasted
Nuthatches nesting, Downy Woodpeckers excavating, Black-capped Chickadee
nesting in a nestbox, territorial Mockingbirds, and nesting Eastern Phoebes.
I'll be on the lookout for other things as the season progresse
Many Bohemian Waxwings feeding in a tree just over the inland spur of the
Wilson trail. Very low, some in the water drinking. It's a photographers dream!

Flock of Bohemian Waxwings -- about a dozen birds, as far as I could see -- in
some berry-bearing trees on the north Wilson Trail. Very cooperative (not to
mention beautiful)! I was there at around 4 PM.

The waxwings are all still there at 5 PM, so it's not too lateŠ. Cloudy so
the light isn't as good, but lots of folks have them in view right now.

Update (5:30): The Bohemian Waxwings are gone for now. A large flock
(100+) of Bohemian Waxwings came over fairly high from the north (airport

took off and joined the large flock heading south. All except for 1 bird
