While doing some sound recording training at Hammond Hill State Forest, we had a fairly low flyover TYPE 1 RED CROSSBILL at the top of the Yellow 1 trail (the Mourning Warbler clearing). It happened pretty quickly but I was gratified that all three of us were able to record it (albeit not amazingly)! One of the not-so-amazing recordings can be heard here: http://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/31405691 Also nearby were family groups of Magnolia and Blackburnian warblers, as well as a calling Canada Warbler and other typical denizens of the area.
Chris Wood and Brian Sullivan had a flyover Red Crossbill at Summerhill last week, and several people have had flyovers or small groups in some of the state forests in Cortland County this summer.
