Yesterday morning at Myers I noticed the first significant movement of Blue Jays I have seen this fall, with several hundred moving south along the east shore. The only other bird of note was a COMMON TERN flying north up the lake against the strong winds.
This morning I walked around the Durland Preserve in Ellis Hollow. Highlights were two LINCOLN'S SPARROWS near the entrance (first of the fall, although at least three other people saw Lincoln's Sparrow this morning too!) and a male HOODED WARBLER. At the compost piles, the 2nd or 3rd cycle LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL was still present. Finally, I walked around the community gardens on Freese Road, where I saw dozens of Song and Savannah sparrows, Field Sparrow, Indigo Bunting, and two PALM WARBLERS. -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology [email protected] -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
