Our group ran into Greg in Savannah yesterday evening around 7 PM when
he informed us of having recently had the godwit fly over at the
Visitor's Center. We drove there straight away, checked the Visitor's
Center pond and the new shorebird ares along the wildlife drive - to
no avail.
The Wilson Trail in Sapsucker Woods today reminds me of Ithaca on the Monday
after reunions. The vast majority of visiting revelers have moved on to
resume their busy lives. A certain few travelers (female YELLOW-RUMPED
WARBLER and a couple of singing BLACKPOLL WARBLERS) have stayed behind
Not much new around my house this morning, except for one Alder
Flycatcher (we-BEE-oh), so I walked over to the Beech Hill ridge in
the L-P Preserve. In this breezy location the lady's slippers and
even the diminutive fringed polygala were all nodding northward, but

Thanks for alerting everyone about the Red-headed Woodpecker. We easily
saw it this morning where described, flying back and forth across the road a
few times. It landed deeper in the grove of trees in the south east corner
of Rte. 90 and Poplar Ridge Rd., and then more than once flew back
Credit for this discovery goes to Stuart Krasnoff and Paul Anderson. I was only the messenger. They were in the second of 2 cars of birders headed north. In the lead car Bob was driving and I was riding shotgun. As we turned from the north end of Lake Rd back onto NYS-90 entering the Village of

I watched the CLIFF SWALLOWS flying about beneath the rte 96 bridge
over the Susquehanna River. I estimate there are 30 jug nests on the
bridge, many of them directly below the sidewalk that crosses it. One

I'm getting some very different behavior from my resident oriole. I have grape
jelly feeders hanging from my deck. I no longer need to start them at the
woods and slowly move them to the deck. My House Finches. Catbirds, and
Orioles come right to them when they return each spring. The male
Red-headed Woodpeckers were regularly seen on the Wells College golf course
many many years ago, so there is a history of them in the area, for sure.

Perri and I went up the lake today to take a look at the Red-headed

side of Rt. 90 just south of Poplar Ridge. One bird was calling frequently
