I had a couple hours to kill today in the Ithaca area so I got
a little birding in.
Highlights: CERULEAN WARBLER singing in Jetty Woods. Also
present were several AMERICAN REDSTARTS, BALTIMORE ORIOLES,
WARBLING VIREOS, and 1 YELLOW-THROATED VIREO.
At Stewart Park, nothing out of the ordinary. There was 1 DOUBLE-CRESTED
CORMORANT perched on the red lighthouse. also had a pair of
COMMON MERGANSERS.
At Myer's point, no unusual gulls found. I did get 1 COMMON TERN
migrating up the lake. There were 2 SPOTTER SANDPIPERS on the spit, and many
many swallows migrating (mostly BARN with some TREE
and a few ROUGH-WINGED). I also found 1 COMMON LOON
in breeding plumage out in the middle of the lake.
On the way up to Ithaca, I saw a flying GREEN HERON as I was
driving on route 79 in Caroline.
