A few observations this morning from northeast Ithaca and adjacent areas: Pectoral Sandpiper: 2 in the usual field along Hanshaw Road, just west of the mouth of Sapsucker Woods Road. These are the first I have seen here since Sunday (16 October), when there were four present (before a dog walker flushed all the birds in the field).
Orange-crowned Warbler: 1 at the "Frog Barn" (91 Sapsucker Woods Road), in the mix of goldenrod and shrubs between the barn and Sapsucker Woods Road. Black-throated Blue Warbler: 1 male at home (Hanshaw Road); might be my last for a while. Good birding, tss -- Thomas S.
