Brad Walker, Livia Santana, Matt Medler, Emma Grieg, and I had a COMMON NIGHTHAWK at Stewart Park last night around dusk (8:20?). Brad first spotted it over Jetty Woods, and it eventually flew right over our heads on the shore of Stewart Park and headed up towards Ithaca Heights.
This morning I drove around the Ithaca Airport. Nothing too exciting, but lots of the expected species, including NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, BLUE-WINGED WARBLER, BLACKPOLL WARBLER, TENNESSEE WARBLER, ALDER FLYCATCHER, WILLOW FLYCATCHER, EASTERN TOWHEE, EASTERN MEADOWLARK, SAVANNAH SPARROW, and FIELD SPARROW. Here at Sapsucker Woods, I just saw and heard a singing WILLOW FLYCATCHER near the platform at the Fuller Wetlands north of the building.
