Enjoyed watching a male yellow-bellied sapsucker work his way around some trees in our back woodlot in Danby this morning. A huge raven flew southwest over the creek while a couple cowbirds perched nearby and a white-breasted nuthatch picked its way head-first down a snag. Dave -- Cayugabirds-L

I got a rarity to my yard this morning- a fox sparrow! I’m still getting one White Throat. I have been getting a few Pine Siskins. No Evening Grosbeaks yet. I’m lucky to get any birds here with the roofers here many days. They finished yesterday so maybe those Grosbeaks will finally show

Have had some interesting birds at our feeders recently. We've had a CHIPPING SPARROW every day since Thursday. Yesterday a first-winter male ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK stopped by briefly. This morning there was a juvenile male RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD feeding on the ground with the other birds.

I made the most of being grounded today. When I went outside for gardening instructions, the first thing I heard was a vague warbler song from the mature spruce tree in the neighbors' yard. Forty-five minutes of procrastination yielded one second of view of a new bird for the cumulative yard

This morning I've got multiple CAPE MAY and BAY-BREASTED WARBLERS (both sexes) in my spruces on Tupper Road (West Danby). Hard to count, but maybe 10-12 individuals between them. Tennessee Warblers continue too. -Geo -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

Reviewing records for my yard I realized that in early years I'd been lax about including dates, that this year I'd made far too little effort there, and that there were some good candidates missing altogether. So late yesterday morning I spent some quality time in my yard. Not only did I add

I looked out the window at my feeders at about 2:15 to find a Sharp-shinned Hawk sitting on one of our platform feeders about 6 feet from the window. It sat for almost 30 seconds then noticed my movement and flew up into the nearby cedar when I tried to move to a different window. Very cool view!

My neighborhood 'rain crows' - both Black-billed and Yellow-billed Cuckoos - have really been living up to their nickname! Along with all the rain, hailstones have rattled the roof for several days running. And they're likely to do it again today, if the Cuckoos are to be believed. It's

Wow. I was hoping that with all the activity in nearby Sapsucker Woods, I would get at least a trickle of warblers in my yard -- but no. A few migrants have stopped by, including a che-beking LEAST FLYCATCHER, briefly singing SCARLET TANAGER and RED-EYED VIREO, and 2 WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS

Just before sunset I added a MAGNOLIA WARBLER. Hoping for more warblers ahead, as many of the fruit trees are just now coming into flower. Expecting Cuckoos any day now! Might get one tonight for the price of going outside to listen (if only the toads would shut up! - their annual pool

On Saturday, Susie I had brief yard visits from our first-of-year YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER and NORTHERN SHRIKE. The latter was a bit surprising as I had thought they had all gone north. While working, I watched the sky in the afternoon, but saw only a few locals. Apparently Ken and Derby Hill
