Reports of rare birds (including those within range but early or late by the calendar) do not get incorporated into eBird's database so that they can be searched by species until they are reviewed and deemed credible, which can take a few days. But you can see rare bird reports before they are reviewed by subscribing to eBird's Rare Bird Alerts for any county or state.
The reports that I saw were by Chris Wood seen & heard along the old railroad grade east of Monkey Run Road (south), and by Brad Walker heard between the Woodleton Boardwalk and Sapsucker Woods Rd. Chris heads up the eBird program and I believe is one of the reviewers for Tompkins County. He also provided a detailed description of the bird's plumage & song so that any reviewer would recognize it. Anyway when he gets around to it, it will surely be added to the database. Brad, another expert birder who works at the Lab of O, included a description of the song he heard which was also enough to ID the bird. --Dave Nutter > On Apr 21, 2017, at 8:12 AM, Alicia Plotkin <[email protected]> wrote: > > Was wondering where these lucky folks were birding?
