Andy Johnson, Scott Haber and I birded around Ithaca this morning, but saw very little of note. Two of the most interesting birds were before I picked up Scott, a singing NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH in a yard on Hanshaw Road just west of Blackstone, and a HOUSE WREN singing near the Pleasant Grove Cemetery. We saw a singing Louisiana Waterthrush and Blue-headed Vireo at Lick Brook, and Brown Thrasher and Savannah Sparrows on West King Road. A walk around the swan pen didn't produce much besides Yellow Warblers and a Swamp Sparrow, although Andy got a brief look at a WATERTHRUSH (likely Northern) that disappeared before Scott and I could see it.
