Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn this morning
Ann Mitchell & I were at the Hawthorns from 7:30 to 10:30am. We missed the Philadelphia Vireos and Cape May Warbler, much to Ann's disappointment, and the Magnolia Warblers, but we did hear and see CANADA WARBLER and see YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER and BAY-BREASTED WARBLER in the middle and hear (and Ann saw) WILSON'S WARBLER in the south central hawthorns. We also heard a WOOD THRUSH and saw a BROWN THRASHER among others. The Yellow-bellied Flycatcher was silent and briefly seen but beautiful and easy to ID: all yellowish green with more green above and more yellow below and no gray/white anywhere nor any contrast at edges of throat. Even the complete eye-ring and double wingbars were yellow instead of white. --Dave Nutter On May 20, 2014, at 11:27 AM, Anne Marie Johnson wrote: > We were at Hawthorn from 8:00 until 9:30 this morning.

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn this morning
We were at Hawthorn from 8:00 until 9:30 this morning. The birds seemed more active than when I was there last week, but we didn't find any new species than others have reported in recent days. TENNESSEE WARBLERS and GRAY CATBIRDS were singing everywhere pretty much the whole time we were there. Highlights included a BLUE-WINGED WARBLER often singing in the open on the east edge near the northeast corner, several vocal and active BLACKPOLL WARBLERS in the northeast and southwest corners; and two active and somewhat vocal PHILADELPHIA WARBLERS readily visible in the Hawthorns near the main path in the northeast corner. Two MAGNOLIA WARBLERS were very vocal early on but more difficult to see as they seemed to stay on the other side of dense leaves. I had a brief look at silent CAPE MAY WARBLER, and we glimpsed at least one silent SWAINSON'S THRUSH.

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn this morning
This morning Tim and I went to Hawthorn expecting to find little and were pleasantly surprised. The numbers were low, but we found a nice mix of warblers, all in the NE corner, mostly down the slope of the ravine, and all singing persistently: Canada, Northern Parula (2), Nashville, Tennessee, Common Yellowthroat, Magnolia (further west along the ravine), and Yellow. We were able to get great looks at all except the Yellow and Common Yellowthroat, which we didn't try to track down. Further along the ravine we found a Black-throated Green. Others we ran into said they found a Black-throated Blue. We heard Wood Thrush, Least Flycatcher, and Red-eyed Vireo but found no other thrushes, vireos, or flycatchers.

Gin & I birded in the hawthorn orchard this morning, starting at 7:30am. Some of the notables: --Tenessee warblers singing everywhere, finally got our sights on some in the dense foliage. The best views I had was in the open at the south edge of the woods, looking in from the field. (This is where there are some reliably every year). -- Blackpoll warblers, everywhere, lots singing. !0 in one big tree. -- Canada warblers, heard several, saw one finally, in the company of Bob McGuire, Dave Nutter, Susan Danskin, and others, near the middle. -- Bay-breasted male & female, again near the south edge. -- Magnolia male, near the south edge. -- Blue-winged warbler -- Willow flycatcher (heard) -- Two Least flycatchers (heard) -- etc. Pleasant morning -- squish, squish...

When I arrived at 8:00, the orchard was hopping, but I didn't come across anything new. Interestingly, I heard no Black-throated Green Warblers. Most of the activity was along the eastern edge today. Here are the highlights: Yellow-rumped Warblers--still lots of them Northern Waterthrush Nashville Warblers--at least 3 Tennessee Warblers--at least 2 Common Yellowthroats Yellow Warblers Northern Parulas (singing a variety of songs)--at least 2 Black-and-White Warbler--1 American Redstart--1 Magnolia Warbler--1 Black-throated Blue Warbler--1 Blackburnian Warbler--probable, heard only Black-billed Cuckoo--called frequently over the hour I was there Wood Thrush--sang once briefly Anne Marie Johnson -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
