A morning walk around Lindsay Parsons yielded many field sparrows, at least two prairie warblers, seemingly ubiquitous singing from invisible towhees and black-and-white warblers. An adult bald eagle sat on a branch over the northern side of Coleman Lake, unfazed by my presence. Approaching the woods before the railway tracks was a chestnut-sided warbler song that refused to stay put and took much patience to visually confirm, eventually. Also heard were bursts of thrasher and yellow-rumps, while above a handful of chimney swifts chattered away. Near the railway tracks were two phoebes and two kingfishers.
Earlier at the fire house pond, a great blue heron sat low on its nest while two others stood preening in the same tree in close proximity: family group? Suan PS. Pine siskins continue to sing from the trees outside my house in Commonland. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
