I haven’t yet seen this posted here, and I’ve not had time to go birding much
at the Hawthorn Orchard, but today a WORM-EATING WARBLER was found by Jasdev.
The bird was seen foraging in the Northeast corner/area and singing
periodically. This was posted to the GroupMe CayugaRBA by Jay McGowan.
This morning, I birded for a short while with Melissa Groo, before doing more
exploration of the area alone. I ran into Jay McGowan for a bit, plus another
