[cayugabirds-l] Incubating Dryden Merlin - fairly photogenic

2016-05-06 Thread John Confer

Hi Laura, I was at Lindsay-Parsons today too. Can't add much to your list: Hermit Thrush, Blue-headed Vireo, Blackburnian Warbler and Louisiana Waterthrush. No Worm-eating yet. From the looks of things, it may be a couple of days yet. One thing that interested me was a very vocal Yellow-throat

Andrew Dreelin found the Cornell Arts Quad Clay-colored Sparrow this morning in the same area as last year. The flowering trees on the south side of Goldwin Smith Hall and associated walking paths. Chasing Chipping Sparrows with loving intentions possibly. Active late this afternoon even with th
