Winter wren was there, singing and popping up briefly to be seen by some of the ~20 participants of today's CBC field trip. Some also saw the mourning warbler. Nearby was one of at least three Blackburnians seen in various spots along our hike. Other highlights of the trip include looks at magnolia, yellow-rumped singing two-part song that I initially thought was nashville, black-throated blue; a broad-winged hawk that flew in close and landed in a tree for a while; a ruffed grouse observed by some flying away; and to cap the day echoes of "who cooks for you" from the woods to the east, with hints of a more distant response from another barred owl.

Excellent. That would be Trail Y-1 in the area of a blowdown a number of years ago. Canada warblers and winter wrens should be there also.

It is on the yellow marker trail that starts on Hammond Hill Rd.? next to visitor parking lot. About 500m up the trail. We got great views, only one individual.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler at Hammond Hill
This is interesting. First of all, where is your "usual spot"? I spent several hours atop both Star Stanton and Hammond Hills yesterday. My "usual spot" for mourning warblers is on Star Stanton Hill--go up Star Stanton Hill Rd. (labeled), up the rough, abandoned part to the crest. Over the crest 100 yds. and to the right is a road called "Truck Trail", which is, or is an extension of, Canaan Rd. The first part of the Trail is where I have found mourning warblers for years. Yesterday I heard, in the distance, what sounded like the song, but a little odd. So I tracked it down. It turned out to be a female PURPLE FINCH doing a quite passable mourning warbler imitation. Also heard a rapidly singing BLUE-HEADED VIREO, which made me think red-eyed. I walked about on Mt. Pleasant (Town of Dryden, State of New York, U.S.A.) for some time this morning. Lots of SAVANNAH SPARROWS. No bobolinks, horned larks, meadowlarks, vesper sparrows. In despair, and only 50 yds. from my vehicle, I caught movement in a worked-up field at the corner of Mt. Pleasant and Mineah Rds. and watched 2 AMERICAN PIPITS foraging. The day was saved.
