I was at an Organ Concert when I read the email alert of the Tricolored Heron
on my phone during intermission. This is not the place you want to be when you
get one of these but since I was with someone and more interested in the second
half I stayed. I decided I might have a better chance in
Tom Johnson and I spent the morning birding a few areas in the Finger Lakes.
Here's a quick summary of our birding along with links to eBird checklists,
many of which have photos, more comments , and links to a map of the location.
We started birding at Island Park on the north end of Owasco Lak
My first visit to the woods and jetty road this year found them dry,
compared to last year when I had to wear boots. I did not find much
variety of migrants. Many singing YELLOW WARBLERS and WARBLING VIREOS
but a single BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER and AMERICAN REDSTART.

Andrew, Emmett, and Stewart Berryhill joined Betsy Darlington, Tilden, and
me on a walk early on Sunday morning at the Park Nature Preserve (Irish
Settlement Road, Dryden). Twice, we had long, very close views of a singing
PRAIRIE WARBLER along the first straightaway. As in past years, this

I took a leisurely late morning walk in the woods, fields and thickets uphill,
east side of Lansing Station Rd. in Lansing, and it wasn't too birdy, but I
heard or saw:

YELLOWTHROAT (singing a lot), SWAMP SPARROW (in a little s
These strange blue skies and steady warm but light breezes do not seem to be

arrivals continue to trickle in, but many local birds are still missing. An

Thursday I saw a GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER at SSW at Lab of O, on north side of
Severinghaus Trail. Then a couple hours later I saw a pair of them, with bright
yellow breasts and bellies at the open field as one enters Salt Point across
Salmon Creek from Myers Park in Lansing, NY.
This morning I
Not the usual easter egg hunt, with migrant warblers bejeweling the trees, but
the local breeders do continue to trickle in. A group of three or four Hooded
Warblers arrived at my place just this morning. They haven't even had time to
spread out yet - they're all singing in one little area.

We had a Blue Winged in our trees this morning...its the first time we have

Like others, I found rather few migrants and nothing very surprising in
Sapsucker Woods on Saturday morning. But I did meet Susan and Howard Finch,
who gave a compelling account of how they saw a VIRGINIA RAIL taking flight
briefly from the east edge of the Fuller Wetlands, just after the footbrid
