[cayugabirds-l] more yard birds

Some more yard birds in my backyard in Northeast Ithaca so far today. The male BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER (still singing) was chasing another warbler, which turned out to be a female BLACKPOLL WARBLER. A few raptors are apparently migrating over -- a subadult BROAD-WINGED HAWK and a high circling fema
