[cayugabirds-l] Warbler that sounds like Golden-winged
After birding in the Hawthorn Orchard this morning, where the highlight for us was a good close look at a quiet Gray-Cheeked Thrush, Ken and I decided to go out to Michigan Hollow. There were so many warblers and other passerines along Michigan Hollow Road that it took us quite a bit of time to travel 3 miles of the unpaved section. One of the first warblers that we heard, but never located, had a song that exactly matched that of Golden-winged Warbler in the Sibley app. There were also Blue-winged Warblers singing in this area, so we didn't know if the bird was really a Golden-winged, or a hybrid that sang like a Golden-Winged. It quieted after a few minutes and we never found it. We hope that someone else might have better luck with this bird. The spot is just after the Beagle Club on Michigan Hollow Road, where the road becomes unpaved. A few miles further up the road we got to see the Acadian Flycatcher singing; an unseen Winter Wren was singing from the same area.

[cayugabirds-l] OOB Greensprings Cuckoos
After this morning's half-day SFO visit to Arnot (highlighted by a good number of scope warblers), I stuck around Greensprings Cemetary to photograph bobolinks, and presently witnessed three black-billed cuckoos involved in a chase (presumably 2 males with a female observer) around the same island of trees behind Carl's Bench. This was followed by prolonged calls (up to 40 verses uninterrupted): a serenade of the victor? Thanks to this singing, I was able to get good looks and passable photos of the bird in various spots around that island.

[cayugabirds-l] New bird
Well better late than never I guess. I had a Pine Siskin, finally. There may be two of them, but I only saw one.One was on the feeder and I thought I heard another vocalizing not far away. The first time I ever had one in my yard was at this time of year. My White Crown Sparrows, 4, are still here. Another one of my resident birds has shown up, a Willow Flycatcher. I never saw him, but heard him fitz-bew. I also am hearing the Yellow Warbler and Yellowthroat. It was a great morning to be out. The traffic on rt. 20 is less, thus it's quieter, and I can hear more birds. The Warbling Vireo has been singing all day so far. I can hear him on the sunporch.

[cayugabirds-l] RTH - Stout Road, Seneca County
Contrary to a post earlier this month, it appears that the Red Tail Hawks who nested last year near Stout Road in Seneca County haven't deserted the area after all. This morning we were spotted by a stunning adult as we came around a bend above the ravine. S/he took up a station in one of the tallest trees and proceeded to cuss at us in no uncertain terms. S/he flew to the opposite side of the tree and took up the refrain, only stopping when we moved on and were out of sight. With the trees in full foliage, as opposed to last year's earlier nest sighting, it will be next to impossible to spot a nest, but I look forward to further lectures from one or two parents. -- 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] Arnot forest and the wierd Prairie warbler
?Hi all, Today my group spent the time in Arnot forest. We did hear the Prairie warbler Dave Nutter described yesterday. First I thought I am listening to a Savannah Sparrow with weird additional note. Then saw pure yellow on its belly and then we realized this was the Prairie described by Dave Nutter. I managed to get a recording of its song, I will post it a little later. Other highlights were a beautiful pair of Canada Warbler male and female, lots of Chestnut-sideds singing variety of songs, first two notes of one was reminiscence of Northern Waterthrush. A raven and Broad-winged circled in the sky giving us good looks at them. And many other neat birds but most striking misses were no Eastern Wood Peewee. Neither any Hairy or Downy Woodpecker or any nuthatches. Did anyone hear a Peewee?

[cayugabirds-l] Glossy ibises at Montezuma
Hi all, In spite of the fact that there seemed to have been a major flight out of the area as south winds and clear skies pushed migrants north last night, Ton and I decided to proceed with our planned big day To see as many species as we could in a day. As feared, many migrant warblers and shorebirds had left. Yet we were still able to tally 22 warbler species (but fewer than 10 shorebird species). One big surprise was a couple of GLOSSY IBIS, seen from the east end of Towpath Rd around 7:30 pm. Our species total was 133, which is kind of average for us. I wonder what our total would have been if we had done this a few days earlier. Oh well, it is what it is. We had loads of fun. Our first bird was a spontaneously calling BARRED OWL, at 2:30 am as we were packing up our breakfast. How cool is that! Cheers!

[cayugabirds-l] Eastern Wood Peewee
On Friday while walking the trails near Flatrock, I heard my first of year Eastern Wood Peewee. Also hear Wood Thrush, Veery, Yellow Warbler, American Redstart, Common Yellowthroat, and others. A few days ago, on the same trail, I heard an owl calling from up the hill somewhere. It sounded most like a Great Horned Owl but it was very faint so I couldn't be sure.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] New bird
We never got any White-throated Sparrows this year. Did get a couple of White-Crowned. We have a loyal population of Pine Siskins due to the thistle feeder I put up. They started hear when there was just sunflower seed but they really seem to love thistle seed. A moment ago I thought I heard an Eastern Meadowlark singing from our front yard. And I'm finally consistently hearing Bobolinks from the adjacent field. On a picnic with my dad at Filmore Glen I enjoyed observing the Barn Swallows and their nests inside the First Aid and Lifeguards building.
