There are obviously lots of migrants grounded around Ithaca by this weather -- dominated by an almost unprecedented number of Tennessee Warblers. When I went for a walk with the dog around 6 PM in our neighborhood, I was greeted by 2 singing TENNESSEE WARBLERS near my driveway, and just on my short block I had 2 more feeding TENNESSEES (in flowering trees), male BLACKBURNIAN, CHESTNUT-SIDED, MAGNOLIA, and COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, plus an EASTERN KINGBIRD. The most unusual bird, though, was a female NORTHERN HARRIER cruising over my house -- my third "yard" sighting this spring of a species I often miss for the year.
