[cayugabirds-l] OOB Acadian Flycatcher in Caroline

There was an Acadian Flycatcher singing just a bit out of the Cayuga Lake Basin near the Finger Lakes Trail west of Coddington Road this morning. To hear it, follow FLT west of Coddington (park in designated lot on Ridgeway, not Coddington). Stay on FLT, which is through private land. The FLT

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Changing bird names/Armitage Rd this morning

I'm not familiar with specific proposals by the AOS, but two ornithologists wrote an op ed in the Washington Post a few days ago that seems to call for the elimination of all eponymous bird names.  Th

Re: [cayugabirds-l] New Michigan State Forest Chenango Co. Red Crossbills, probable singing Bay breasted Warbler

I did some atlas work in New Michigan State Forest Chenango co. this morning. There were several flyover small flocks of Red Crossbills. I was able to get a couple of poor recordings as they were flying birds. I had a total of 13 RECR. Not sure of type. I sent my recordings to Matt Young. On Schwa

[cayugabirds-l] Not the birds please
