RE: [cayugabirds-l] Painted ladies

The species has an almost worldwide distribution, and is famous for their migrations, but they're irruptive and irregular (another way of saying we don't fully understand when and why it happens, I think). Haven't noticed any American Painted Ladies among this lot; they're harder to tell apart from above, easier from below (four small eyes instead of two big eyes). I'm using this opportunity to get familiar with the few upperside patterns that distinguish them from American.

[cayugabirds-l] still hearing Old Sam Peabody
We've been hearing White-throated Sparrow song since sometime in May when they were migrating through. We are still hearing this song, and it's always coming from the same area, a thicket along Cascadilla Creek in Ellis Hollow. I assume there's a nesting pair. How unusual is it for White-throated Sparrows to nest in this area?
