I didn't get to Leonard Road until 8:00 am this morning, and I didn't find
the Acadian or any other flycatchers, but I did hear a Mourning Warbler
singing for a while at the edge of the woods, in the area where the creek
first goes under the road. Walking up the road after that creek crossing, I
saw and heard a Louisianna Waterthrush and a Chestnut-sided Warbler, and I
heard two Nashville Warblers, as well as a number of other birds singing,
including a couple I could not identify. The ones I could identify are in
the eBird list below.
For those unfamiliar with Leonard Road, it is a dirt road in Caroline
(south of Ithaca but still in the Cayuga Lake Basin) that leads from
Central Chapel Rd up, quite steeply at times, to Bald Hill School Road. The
second half of the road passes through the northern edge of Shindagin
Hollow State Forest.
