Hi John, There is a calling bird (pair?) at Myers Point Park in Lansing as well— I think they were there last year.
The “Tareyton “ bird may be nesting again near the east end of Sycamore— a female perched in a tree there giving some softer, different calls.

South Hill near Oak Manor, Fairmount Ave. near Elmwood, Gimme Coffee, Tareyton Rd/Murial area, Dryden west of Agway, Freeville, just west of Yellow Barn Rd. near Rt. 38, The Parkway near school, Trumansburg, Jennings Pond, and a possible pair near Christopher Lane and Brandywine. That is 11 pair, but I haven't found any nests yet. The females should be incubating now and the pair is less vocal. With noisy time in the last two weeks of nestlings and shortly after fledging in about 6-8 weeks, we may well match last year's county high of 12 pairs. Any information appreciated.
