Yesterday, May 1 I heard a Prairie Warbler and a Chestnut-Sided Warbler at the Cornell Plantations in the area of the overlook with the gong. Also this morning I work to the sweet song of Wood Thrush, but I think I live slightly out of basin on Michigan Hollow Rd in Danby. Happy Birding! Beth

They must have moved north quickly. My new bird feeder migrants have kept pace with Ithaca. I also have 5 W TH Sparrows. I didn't get the huge fallout others did. I still have a few Juncos. Yesterday the Purple Finch was back. Looks like I better get my Oriole feeders out.

I was surprised that it was quite high up in the tree and was not foraging in bushes, probably just arrived. Also a brief look at a Yellow Warbler. Luckily I had my binoculars with me as I sat swinging in a hammock -- pretty hard to grab and focus on these birds at all while swinging!

By last week nearly all the males seemed to have their new plumage. This morning the yard was alive with a swirl of new arrivals: their molt was noticeably less complete than that of our winter residents. Many were clearly unused to the feeder, though they caught on quickly. At least 20 at one point during the day. Really hard to count!
