The bird popped up in response to pishing in thickets near Salmon Creek. Along the main gravel trail at Salt Point, halfway between the railroad tracks and the point. Grayish-white bird, with yellow on cap and a smudge of yellow on its breast. Seen briefly but well before it disappeared back into the shrubbery. Nice to see this neat hybrid.
Also Least Sandpipers and Semipalmated Plovers on the gravel bars in Salmon Creek, and a Philadelphia Vireo in a titmouse/chickadee flock. -- Benjamin Freeman Ph.D. candidate Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Cornell University Ithaca, NY, USA benjamingfreeman.com -- 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/ --
