Re: [cayugabirds-l] BirdNet App

Thanks Pete - BirdNET has been successful for me with Eastern Towhee, Yellow Warbler, Song Sparrow and Scarlet Tanager. It dipped on a still unidentified warbler from last week--possibly a redstart, but the song seemed too long. I've also tried to fool it into thinking I'm a White-throated

I didn't post about it ay thet time, but I had one in Trumansburg Village on Thursday evening (5/20), near intersection off Congress St and Seneca St. It was calling repeatedly, and doing some drumming on a metal pipe. Marc Devokaitis On Sat, May 22, 2021, 1:19 PM Christopher Sperry wrote: >

[cayugabirds-l] Pipits in Hanshaw fields

About an hour ago I parked at Freese Rd Community Gardens and walked along the Monkey Run rim trail until it comes out on the back of some of the Hanshaw Rd fields to the east of Freese Rd (at most 1/4 mile). Not far from the treeline were around 30 well-camouflaged and very active AMERICAN PIPITS
