Sometimes a very common bird simply steals the show and that's what
happened today at von Engeln Preserve at our Thursday Birding Meetup.
Sixteen of us watched a Common Yellowthroat carrying food and doing its
thing right from the parking area. A busy little bird, beautifully captured
by Inbal Ravreby

We saw 29 species
including a chickadee also carrying food and a gorgeous close flyover of a
great blue heron. Thanks to Tracy McLellan for keeping our ebird list. This
preserve also offers fantastic botanical viewing with pitcher plants,
orchids, ferns and much more green loveliness amidst the glacial terrain.
Nine of us enjoyed a patio breakfast at the Corner Brew in Dryden after
this beautiful birding morning. Curious about our Thursday adventures? All
birders are very welcome to join us at 7:00 am on Thursdays as we explore
widely across the Cayuga basin, all within 25 minutes of Ithaca.
July 17 Thursday Birding Meetup: Sims-Jennings Preserve at Cayuga Cliffs.
From Ithaca, take East Shore Drive for six miles north to turn left on
NY-34B North/Ridge Road. After four miles, the preserve will be on your
left.
