This morning at 6:30 it was just 50 degrees F. in Michigan Hollow, but an
Acadian Flycatcher was still singing in the usual spot (42.29919N 76.48335W).
The road just there is about 16' above the stream, so the bird is often below
you.

Talking about Chjpmunks, recently, I also had similar experience with the
Robins, Robins had fledglings in my yard and the chipmunk was trying to go
about its business, but the robin gave it a hard time. I am glad it did.

I'm not too up to date on this species's breeding status in the basin, but
I can't recall any nearby nesting sites.

We've been hearing White-throated Sparrow song since sometime in May when they
were migrating through. We are still hearing this song, and it's always coming
from the same area, a thicket along Cascadilla Creek in Ellis Hollow. I
assume there's a nesting pair. How unusual is it for White-thr
Uncommon, and typically in the higher forested areas, such as Hammond Hill,
Summer Hill, & Shindagin Hollow.

Hello all,
I was not going to bird or ode as I want to finish my garden work, but could
not resist this beautiful weather. So I headed to my favorite Spencer Marsh to
look for Northern Bluets. I was not disappointed as I saw quite a few of those.
Plus I believe I saw an Emerald Spreadwing, wh
Today around 12:30pm as I stepped outside (in Eastern Heights, Ithaca) the call
of red-tailed hawk caught my attention and I quickly spotted it circling
overhead. As I grabbed my binoculars, I soon realized that it was a very
unusual red-tail (at least very different from the one’s I’m used to s
During a short visit to the Newtown Battlefield State Park yesterday for
unrelated purposes, I noticed some birds in the vicinity of the Sullivan
Monument, including Brown Thrasher, Great-crested Flycatcher, and
Yellow-throated Vireo.

I am NOT an authority on raptors, but that has never stopped me from commenting
before, so here's my guess:
I think the first blurry photo looks like a dark type of Red-tailed Hawk more
typically found out west.
I think the second and third photos are of a different bird with a feather

Another place to find breeding White-throated Sparrows is along Miller Creek in
the Danby State Forest.

Looks like a Zone-tailed Hawk. The first photo seems to show some reddish, but
the third seems to show a typical Z-t pattern. There have been records in MA
and the maritime a in Canada recently.
Yet another would-be basin bird that this out-of-basin will miss.

I agree with Dave regarding a Broad-winged Hawk. Ann Mitchell

I couldn't reconcile the red tail of photo 1 with the black and white stripes
of photo 3, even though I have seen various effects of looking through backlit
feathers. The reason I didn't say Red-shouldered Hawk is that the white
tail-band appeared too wide to me (but this may be a focus issue, o
The photos seem to demonstrate barring on the primaries, more so than I would
expect on even a dark phase Broad-wing. The molted out feather allows this
characteristic to be seen somewhat well. This bird's proportions seem to weigh
against B-wing too. The wings seem long and narrow, with only
