Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard Friday
In addition to the birds Bob and Chris saw this morning I can add Indigo Buntings, Common Yellowthroats, Magnolia, Blue-winged Warbler and one Lawrence's Warbler singing a blue-winged song.

Apparently there was no major fallout last night - but there were still a few good birds around.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard Friday
I noticed on radar that the bird echoes dropped of after sunrise (which is typical) and THEN the rain came. So there was no major grounding of birds that occurred overnight.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard Friday
There are two birds I need to add to this morning's Hawthorn list. All of the morning's birds were in the NE corner or along the northern edge of the Orchard. I never got out south into the tangle. NASHVILLE WARBLER 2 BALCK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER This guy was foraging in the flowering trees at the edge of the ravine. It was notable because he was singing both the primary and alternate songs in rapid succession. He sang continuously, for over 15 minutes, while foraging. And the song was muted, almost like a "whisper" song. At first I thought it was two birds, one singing each song.

The morning began quietly, with an occasional Tennessee Warbler song, a few yellows and yellowthroats. By 7 - 7:30 the pace picked up markedly. There seemed to be Tennessee Warblers everywhere. Here are the highlights: GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER in the NE corner, foraging with a Magnolia Warbler and others on the edge of the ravine BAY-BREASTED WARBLER: at least three in one group, and I heard reports of another group of 4 males and 1 female. NE corner TENNESSEE WARBLER X Magnolia Warbler - at least 4, likely more Chestnut-sided Warbler - at least 5 Blackburnian Warbler1 Wilson's Warbler1 Black and White Warbler 1 Canada Warbler 1 Black-throated Blue Warbler (female)1 American Redstart X Yellow Warbler X Common Yellowthroat X YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER 1 There were several Least Flycatchers present giving the "chebeck" call. The Yellow-bellied never vocalized, but several of us got good enough looks at it to confirm the ID. YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO It first began calling from the north section of the orchard around 9 AM.
