As the sun climbs above the morning mist down in the Cayuga Inlet Valley, I can
hear Black-billed Cuckoos calling from several directions, and now from the
gulf comes the Yellow-billed Cuckoo's slow, deep Kowp... Kowp... Kowp

Hi all,
There were a few migrants around on my walk today, but the highlight for me
was a very cooperative MOURNING WARBLER singing and foraging in the open
with a CANADA WARBLER and a MAGNOLIA WARBLER on the Future Road between
Sanctuary Drive and Salem Drive. The bird was on the north side of
Tilden and I found no epic or even modest fallout in Sapsucker Woods on
Wednesday morning (7:30-8:05 AM), but did have several rewarding birding
encounters.

I stopped at Myers this morning at ca. 0720h. I didn't see any migrant
shorebirds. An Osprey was on the snag at Salt Pt. and the expected residents
were about including both Common and Hooded Mergansers with brood.
I also want to add a vocal Canada Warbler to Mark and Tilden Chao's list from
Stewart Mandl has informed me that he heard an EASTERN WHIP-POOR-WILL in
Danby after dark on Sunday night, May 19.

A couple of additional migrants in Sapsucker Woods this morning...
I heard and briefly glimpsed a SWAINSON'S THRUSH singing softly along the
trail between the Wilson Trail and SSW road at about 8:45.
Along the wood chip path in the power line cut on the east side of SSW
road, I had great

Hi all,
I posted last Sunday that I heard a call which I could not recognize. Here it
is. It was in a pine and mixed hardwood woods. To me it sounded that the bird
was feeding in the middle layers of the woods and moving. I did not spend time
to track it down as my friend's kids wanted to see
Sounds like the alternate song of a Hooded Warbler.

I agree with Jay. I heard this song for the first time earlier this week and
had no idea what it was until I tracked down the singer. The version I heard
had a ringing metallic quality to the finish. It sounded very strange and I
recorded it. When I figure out how to post I will.

Thanks Jay, Gary and Alicia!
I was thinking either it was a weird Redstart or a Hooded and that is what I
posted on Sunday. The last two phrases do sound like Hooded. I had never heard
of this version. Now I would like to track it down sometime when I get time.
Now one more song to remember!
Hi Meena,
Here's a similar good example from Xeno-Canto:
http://www.xeno-canto.org/50435 – Hooded Warbler alternate song.
This was my best guess for species, as well, because of the timbre of the call.
The rich ringing quality of the song in your recording is what tipped me off.
Hooded
Hi Chris,
Thanks! The recording has some similarity, but the bird I posted is doing
slightly different but it is close. I found one on Audubon's bird app too,
which was similar to Xeno-Canto example.
I do use Xeno canto and have uploaded quite a few recordings there and yet to
do many more.
This morning, I started listening and recording in Etna, NY, just after
midnight, following the passage of a line of thunderstorms and rain showers.
Predominant species for the ~5 hours of recording was SWAINSON'S THRUSH.
Probably a good two hundred or more calls were produced in between the

Yep, that's a Hooded Warbler. There are a number of adjacent Hooded Warbler
territories down below my house, and I hear this song all the time. Sometimes
it's just one voice in a round of countersinging, sometimes several birds will
be singing this song, and I've even watched one bird switch
For those interested in more about Hooded Warbler songs, the Birds of North
America account describes two singing modes in Hooded Warbler: repeat mode
and mixed mode:
Territorial males sing during the breeding season; males have several
song types that differ in frequency range and number of
I took a quick walk along the Wilson Trail at Sapsucker Woods this evening (22
May 2013). Things were relatively quiet bird-wise, but I did hear and then
briefly see a migrating Common Nighthawk flying in a rather direct manner to
the northwest. The other highlight was seeing Gary Kohlenberg
