Acting on this, I went outside at 2100. Even with stiff competition from
several SPRING PEEPERS, I heard 4 SWAINSON'S THRUSHES. Alas, this was not

It depends on how much you love chasing birds and if you think it is worth $250

Otherwise we can resort back to phone tree or mass texting or emailing as now a
If the textmarks service really is disappearing, I will set up a group on a
similar service and send out a notification of how to sign up. We will know

Does anyone know what this Black-capped Chickadee is eating in my photo:
It looks like the seed capsule of some kind of agrimony (Agrimonia sp.). We've
got several species around here.

it but a large bird flushed from near the edge of the cornfield which looked to

Grosbeak in the previously reported area, flushing from the edge of the
cornfield -- it spent the great majority of time hidden in the corn,

Blue Grosbeak, arriving once just after it was spotted and waiting an hour for
it not to reappear, and twice leaving just before it was re-reported. But

I went up to Seneca Falls early this morning to check out Dave Kennedy's
hummingbird. It didn't take long for the bird to appear, and although it
was wary of my presence, as Dave has noted, it came in to the feeder
