Starting at 8:00 this morning, I worked my way along Shindagin Hollow Road
in my car, stopping to get out frequently. I walked about halfway down the
steep, curvy descent. I walked from just past the marsh/beaver pond at the
bottom to where the Finger Lakes Trail crosses the road and up the FLT to
the right for a short distance. There were lots of singing birds the whole
way, but most of the activity was along the bottom of the hollow near where
the FLT crosses. The marsh was surprisingly quiet compared to a few days
ago, and amazingly I saw or heard no Yellow-rumped Warblers or Yellow
Warblers in my 2 hours there. Here are my highlights:
Broad-winged Hawk--saw 1 several times above and along upper portion of
steep descent
Wood Thrush--heard only
Hermit Thrush--heard, glimpsed
Yellow-throated Vireo
Least Flycatcher--heard only
Baltimore Oriole
Black-throated Green
Black-throated Blue
Ovenbird--heard everywhere but never saw
Redstart
Common Yellowthroat
Canada Warbler
Northern Waterthrush--heard only
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Blackburnian Warbler--singing what I was sure was the Nashville Warbler
song until I finally found him
Magnolia Warbler
Blue-winged Warbler
Probably also heard a Nashville Warbler and a Louisiana Waterthrush, but
only heard once or twice.
