[cayugabirds-l] Birds are moving via radar
Even with north winds aloft the birds are coming. Its getting to that point where they just need to get where they are going. see https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/radar_lite.php?rid=bgm=N0R=1110=yes Its not the heaviest migration but it is a sign that the birds are going regardless now. Tomorrow night should be even more. I suspect a lot of our later migrants will arrive en mass. Blackpoll, wilson's warblers, Canada warbler, willow/alder flycatchers, and the first push of semipalmated sandpipers, maybe even a few white-rumped, ruddy turnstones, etc. I know I left out a bunch.

[cayugabirds-l] Carncross shorebirds
This evening there are lots of shorebirds at Carncross Rd. Dunlin in breeding plumage, semi-palmated plover, least sandpipers, lesser yellowlegs in breeding plumage dowitchers ( we think short billed, based on whitish belly and less humped back, but we’re not sure). Also, 8 caspian terns.

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club Trip: Hawthorn Orchard and East Ithaca Rec. Way (May 12, 2019)
This past Saturday, I lead a group of intrepid souls who turned out for a special Cayuga Bird Club birding trip to the Hawthorn Orchard, and for what was destined to be a very cold and wet (and relatively birdless) morning. I think the temperature barely topped 42º while drizzling almost the entire time. Thanks to the ~20 folks for surviving!!! ;-) Sincerely, Chris T-H Hawthorn Orchard and East Ithaca Rec.

[cayugabirds-l] Dryden Rail Trail: Freeville to George Road Section (May 11, 2019)
Before this totally escapes me, I want to first thank our three Cayuga Bird Club field leaders for assisting in leading a chilly early morning bird walk along the Freeville to George Road section of the Dryden Rail Trail. This was part of the grand opening celebration by the Friends of Dryden Rail Trail for the newly opened section of rail trail. Thank you, Ken Kemphues, Bob McGuire, and Laura Stenzler! We didn’t know how many people to expect: a total of 17 (all-inclusive) birders braved the cold to make the best of what turned out to be a perfect day for an opening celebration. Below is the complete eBird checklist that was maintained by Bob McGuire and reviewed upon our final stopping point at the George Road Crossing. When you walk this new section of trail, please use the newly created eBird hotspots to report your bird sightings using the free eBird App: “Dryden Rail Trail—Freeville to George Rd,” Dryden Rail Trail—George Rd Crossing,” or “Dryden Rail Trail—George Rd to Springhouse Rd.” Thanks again and good birding!

[cayugabirds-l] Fwd: eBird -- Hawthorn Orchard and East Ithaca Rec. Way -- May 17, 2019
It was a relatively quiet day today. Most of the migrants could be seen and heard passing right overhead well into the morning. The few that stopped in were silent or gone by 10:30AM. Initially birded alone, then was joined by Asher Hockett for a bit, followed by Reuben Stoltzfus, after which I was joined by my colleague Dave Winiarski. Saw several other birders there as the morning progressed. But, it was disappointingly quiet, given the weather and time of year. Highlights are in bold, below. Not sure what the next few days will have in store for us. It’s very muddy in there! Good birding!
