Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: Worm-eating Warbler

For anyone interested in trying for the bird, it seems to be sticking to the north "ravine" area right on the trail. I walked towards the rec way and didn't have luck, but on my way back to the car the bird was right over the trail foraging very low and singing sporadically. It was mostly giving

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: Worm-eating Warbler

From Brad Walker: "The worm-eating is now singing and foraging very low over the path near where it was originally reported. Foraging and singing an alternate song low in a Hawthorn.” Sincerely, Chris T-H On May 12, 2022, at 10:06 AM, Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes mailto:c...@cornell.edu>>

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard and East Ithaca Rec. Way, May 19, 2019

Chris, Hopefully it is a cyclical thing. One of our best spots in Broome Co King Street Town of Barker has had more migrants than I have seen in several years. Diversity and numbers are up for most warblers and other neotropical migrants this year. I also have noticed in a few other spots in the

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: May 17, 2016 - 16 Warbler Species

I can add to Chris’s Hawthorn list 2 Wilson’s warblers and 2 bay breasted warblers. One of the Wilson’s warblers was called in by Chris’s spishing in the brush in the Southwest section (at least I assume it was Chris - I didn’t actually see him); the other was in the ravine in the northwest

In addition to the birds Bob and Chris saw this morning I can add Indigo Buntings, Common Yellowthroats, Magnolia, Blue-winged Warbler and one Lawrence's Warbler singing a blue-winged song. Gary On May 13, 2016, at 11:36 AM, bob mcguire wrote: The area was

I noticed on radar that the bird echoes dropped of after sunrise (which is typical) and THEN the rain came. So there was no major grounding of birds that occurred overnight. On Fri, May 13, 2016 at 11:34 AM, bob mcguire wrote: > The area was fairly quiet when I

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: May 10, 2016

Cool observation of the White-crowned Sparrows. Below is the BNA excerpt describing something similar. Since these birds aren't on their breeding grounds, this must be practice? Maybe the two males you saw are actually good buddies travelling together and its kind of like a sparring match at the

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: 15 May 2015

I stayed longer than other birders and got drenched by the shower, but afterward I heard a persistently singing (but hiding) MOURNING WARBLER low in the vegetation in the north central area. Earlier I may have also heard a NASHVILLE WARBLER north of the ravine, which others reported. Here's my

Hi Bob, you wrote: I almost forgot - we got good looks at a single Blackpoll Warbler. This normally signals the end of spring migration. How many days do we have left?? The trouble with the Blackpoll benchmark is that at least a few Blackpolls pass through here early (10th of May!), though

It was our first trip to Hawthorn this year and very worthwhile. In addition to Chris' list we heard a BLUE-WINGED WARBLER repeatedly in the NE corner of the orchard before he arrived. Also we say a GREEN HERON as we arrived around 7AM. ...Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard

Susan Danskin and I had a similar experience in the Hawthorns this morning. When we walked in along the north trail, everything was quiet (except for the ever-present Catbirds). All of a sudden we began to hear TENNESSEE WARBLERS from some 100' south of the trail. When we got to them, we found

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard this morning

I can add to this list a single Great Crested Flycatcher calling to the NW of the Hawthorns and a single quiet skulking Brown Thrasher just at the SW corner. There was a flock of 4-6 White-throated Sparrows working the bushes along the stream to the South of the Hawthorns and a single Swamp

I'm confessing that I officially love the Hawthorn Orchard during migration ! I've only been able to get there in late afternoon yesterday and today, but still had 46 and 51 total species with 15 different Warblers. I missed some warblers, like Orange-crowned and Ovenbird, so 20+ warbler

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard, May 3:

Not to detract in any way from the spectacularly magnetic Hawthorn Orchard, but I too found 15 warbler species today, without moving more than 1000 feet from my house, and probably could have made it 20 without leaving the greater West Danby area. There are lots of birds around! -Geo --
