The buds have been stalled for days here in the cold shadow of Beech Hill, Seeley Hill, and 1920' Sorry Hunter Hill, but finally today a warmer start and some new birds: Nashville Warbler, Black and White Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, Common Yellowthroat, Yellow-throated Vireo, Scarlet Tanager. Ovenbirds galore now (my first was last Thursday).
I just located a female Rose-breasted Grosbeak from her "pik" calls. Three males have been at my sunflower feeder for a week. I keep that going through the summer for the pleasure of seeing the parents bring their fledglings in. A Chickadee excavation looks complete, but no lining yet. I should have a couple broods of Tree Swallows at the pond this year. Already there are several eggs in one box. -Geo Tupper Road, West Danby -- 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/ --
