[cayugabirds-l] PALM WARBLER, Sapsucker Woods, Owen's platform boardwalk
Hi everyone, I had a rather surprising first-parulid-of-year-in-Sapsucker Woods just now: a PALM WARBLER. I saw the bird in the clump of alder shrubs/trees through which the boardwalk cuts, leading to the platform over the water to the south of Kip's Barn (the big white barn north of the Lab of O building). I only briefly saw the bird, seconds after my attention was drawn to a warbler chip note. The bird flew up at about eye level and while I only had maybe 2 seconds of clear view (half of that wasted while my brain processed the fact that I was not looking at a Yellow-rumped Warbler), I'm reasonably confident that it was a brown-form Palm Warbler. I think that I heard the bird chipping nearby subsequently just to the west of the boardwalk, so it might linger in this general area for a while.

[cayugabirds-l] Swamp Sparrows SSW
Numerous singing SWAMP SPARROWs in the field/marsh east of 3rd parking lot. They were sitting high so easy to see their fresh plumage in the rising sun. I heard some ‘quarter-clicking’ and low grunty sounds but could not say if it was a Rail or not. It was near me and made many of the grunts but no clear resolution of what it was in the time I had to spend. __ Chris Pelkie IT Support Assistant Bioacoustics Research Program Cornell Lab of Ornithology 159 Sapsucker Woods Road Ithaca, NY 14850 -- 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/ --

[cayugabirds-l] Fw: Cayuga Bird Club Meeting and speaker dinner Mon., April 14
A last reminder about tonight's : Cayuga Bird Club meeting at 7:30 at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, with cookies and conversation at 7:15. Saw-whet Owls: The Cute Factor Aids Science: 206,000 Birds Banded by Insomniac Banders Reveal Migration Patterns and Regional Reproductive Success Speakers: Dr. John L. Confer, Biology Department, Ithaca College; Dr. Leann Kanda, co-analyst, Biology Department, Ithaca College The Northern Saw-whet Owl is widely distributed, and an intensive banding effort provides a data trove for this tiny raptor. Banding records combined with GIS analyses reveal exceptional detail about migration patterns in eastern and central North America . This, with the ability to determine age classes by plumage, allows analysis of temporal/spatial patterns of reproductive success for breeding populations in different portions of North America. Dr. Confer will talk about his own banding effort and how his data, combined with that of other banders, has helped answer many questions about this little owl. And there is still room for any members who would like to come to dinner with John and his wife Karen before the meeting at 5:30 at Taste of Thai Express. I'll be calling to make reservations at 3 pm this afternoon. See you all soon. Colleen Richards Correspondence Secretary Cayuga Bird Club Old School Yearbook Pics View Class Yearbooks Online Free.

[cayugabirds-l] Chipping Sparrow and others
Our first Chipping Sparrow showed up at the feeders this afternoon. It was scratching around under the sunflower seed feeder. Not long after, a Sharpshinned Hawk cruised thru the yard but made no attacks that I could see. This a.m. a Flicker flew away as I drove past the barns. In other news, things in bloom include Lenten Rose, Scylla, and one daffodil that may pop at any moment. Snowdrops and croci are on the way out, having served their purpose of announcing the arrival of fine weather. A few minutes ago, the fine weather blew hard thru here with a big dump of rain.

Especially interested in places within 10-15 minute drive from the Lab. Individual birds that enjoy 30 degree weather and high winds and sleet are preferred.
