[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, N Feeder area Hopping this am
Hi all, I'm lucky enough to have a direct view from my office on the north feeders and the edge of the woods at the Lab of Ornithology. This morning, from my office between 9 and 9:45 am (and still going), I've had great looks at: Wilson's Warbler (nice male with dark black cap) Yellow rumped Warbler Magnolia Warbler Blue headed Vireo Phoebe White Throated Sparrow Song Sparrow (LOTS of these around) Chipping Sparrow Cardinals Grackles Red-winged Blackbirds Mourning Dove Titmouse Chickadee White breasted Nuthatch Red breasted Nuthatch House Finch Goldfinch Cedar Waxwings And things still keep popping up. Mary Winston at the front emailed that a Grey-cheeked Thrush just hit the window of the observatory. Nice morning!

[cayugabirds-l] FW: eBird Report - Wise Acres, Sep 27, 2012
I had a wonderful walk around our hillside this morning with my dog, and found many birds (with many more hiding and whispering in the leaves). I was especially excited by a clear view of a Swainson's Thrush, because just a week ago I studied my first one, on Monhegan Island with Jeff Wells and the Audubon camp! It was also interesting to have both young Purple Finch and RB Grosbeak near each other for comparison. My eBird list follows.

[cayugabirds-l] Hummer in Mecklenberg
Just one more sighting to add to all the others. I've been hearing from a woman in Mecklenberg who still has a young male Ruby-throat coming regularly to her feeder and she's got the photos to prove it.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hummer in Mecklenberg
As of yesterday morning we had a female coming to our feeder too. I think our breeders departed on 9/12 but beginning again on 9/23 we've had one daily, with the exception of today (could have just missed seeing it this AM). I suspect this latest bird is a migrant that has chosen to stop and refuel for awhile. It is a noticeably chunkier looking than the birds seen earlier this month. Don't know if it is fluffed up due to the temperatures or if it has added fat in preparation for migration. David McCartt Tubbs Hill Rd. Richford --- On Thu, 9/27/12, Anne R.

[cayugabirds-l] Common Gallinule at Hog Hole
Hi all, Apologies for the late post. I enjoyed a splendid morning of birding at Hog Hole, highlighted by an immature COMMON GALLINULE in the channel below Rt. 89. Because of the flocks of sparrows, kinglets, and warblers along the way it took me an hour just to reach the north shoreline.

[cayugabirds-l] lunch hour migrants (+Common Tern)
I enjoyed a late lunch hour on my back deck (1-2 PM) today -- birds were definitely moving on the north winds. I saw at least 6 high-streaming BROAD-WINGED HAWKS (I'm sure I missed many), plus a migrating AM KESTREL, a low imm. BALD EAGLE, and a very high v of 30 CANADA GEESE. Anyone at Mount Pleasant today?? Also in the yard were 2 WINTER WRENS, 2 YELLOW-RUMPED and 1 BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER. Yesterday morning, an imm. COMMON TERN was flying around and landed on the red lighthouse jetty off Stewart Park -- sorry for this late post.

[cayugabirds-l] siskins now - great egret night flight calls tonight - DDT then now
Greetings birders: Right now there are a few siskins feeding in cedar trees on Green St. adjacent to Agway. The timing and conditions look good for hearing great egret night flight calls tonight. My past experience suggests that 8:30-10PM is the window to hear egrets, presumably individuals originating from the southern Lake Ontario marshes. I’m unable to go up to Mt Pleasant tonight for a listen but perhaps others can – should be a great night for listening with lots of migrants aloft! Today is the 50th anniversary of the publication of Rachael Carson’s Silent Spring. For a reflective read, check out the article Insecticides and Birds, which was presented orally to the National Audubon Society in November 1958, later published in Audubon Magazine (Jan-Feb 1959), and reprinted in the WI Ornithological Society’s Journal: The Passenger Pigeon (linked article). The article details how a serendipitous American Robin study on the University of Michigan campus in Lansing, MI documented the decimation of the local breeding American Robin population due to spraying of DDT over the campus to treat Dutch Elm Disease. For an excellent recent reflection on DDT, Rachel Carson, and our modern toxic stew, see Paul Ehrlich’s piece linked below: http://www.environmentalhealthnews.org/ehs/news/2012/commentary-paul-ehrlich-on-rachel-carson -Bill E -- 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/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/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/ --
