Hi Folks, Sorry this is so late. I truly have been birding too much with not much time to post things. Anyway, I apologize. There were 11 of us - Judy, Donna, John, Stephanie, Sara Jane, Larry, Sidney, Klaus, Stuart, Paul, and me on the Lindsay Parsons Cayuga Bird Trip. We met at 7:00 am at Wegmans and carpooled to Lindsay Parsons. We saw a total of 73 species (maybe). At the parking lot at Lindsay Parsons, we first heard a PRAIRIE WARBLER and a YELLOW-THROATED VIREO. A male NORTHERN HARRIER flew overhead. We heard a FIELD SPARROW, and a possible fly-by DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT. (that is the questionable bird. It looked more like a duck to me). If one of the field-trip folks really had a good look at the bird, please pipe in. The beginning of the walk, we had RED-EYED VIREO, AMERICAN ROBIN, we saw both SPOTTED and SOLITARY SANDPIPERS at the ponds. Green Heron was not seen. Where are they?? Continuing on, we heard and had great looks at a BROWN THRASHER in the field. A CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER and an INDIGO BUNTING (which we had killer looks at) were seen before the RR tracks. There were also BLACK AND WHITE WARBLERS there. At the railroad tracks, we heard a MOURNING WARBLER calling. Judy saw it for an instant. Young eyes are great! Thank you, Judy! Heading towards Celia's cup, you can either go straight or to the right. We went to the right. That was when we first heard the BLUE-WINGED WARBLER. Everyone had great looks at a HOODED WARBLER. Some of the guys stayed back and eventually heard and saw a BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO. BLACK-THROATED BLUE were heard and seen. Some of us "hangers-on" from the bird trip went up Station Road. We walked into a very steep area to try to hear Worm-eating Warbler. It was too late in the day to hear it. We did hear or see OVENBIRD, BLACK-THROATED GREEN and BLACKBURNIAN WARBLERS. Those birds breed there. Good Birding, Ann
