Re: [cayugabirds-l] W-C sparrow-yes, today

“MY” white-crowned sparrow turned back up this morning, after I neglected to 
fill feeders Fri and Saturday, but refilled them midday Sunday.  I have had one 
since late winter, got up to four recently (and thought I could tell the one 
apart by crown and also confident way it moved around the feeder area).  I 
think this is the same one from winter.

Surprised this a.m. to see a White-crowned Sparrow scratching around in the
hedge.  I thought they had moved on by now.  Are others still around?

[cayugabirds-l] Newman Municipal Golf Course and lighthouse woods, Sun/Mon 5/15-5/16

2016-05-16 Thread Mark Chao 
I visited the Newman Municipal Golf Course and lighthouse jetty woods
yesterday afternoon and again on Monday morning.



* Two YELLOW-THROATED VIREOS together in the shrubs by the utility building
(Monday).  One of these vireos, who sang and sang in the sunshine, was a
life bird for Sandy Wold.  For me it might have been the first time I’ve
ever seen two Yellow-throated Vireos together, and was surely my best-ever
viewing of this species (more than 15 minutes, sometimes less than 5 meters
away).



* Silent male BLACKPOLL WARBLER and BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERS (Sunday) and
loud male TENNESSEE WARBLER (Monday) in this same area, both also offering
unusually good viewing.  I also heard a NORTHERN PARULA (Sunday) and a
NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH (Monday).  Breeding AMERICAN REDSTARTS are abundant
and very cooperative all along the path.



* An EASTERN WOOD-PEWEE hawking insects at the interface of the woods and
grass (Monday).



* One adult and two fledgling GREAT HORNED OWLS (Sunday), in the same area
where people have been reporting them recently.  I could see the owls only
by advancing past the metal plate in the path, to the first stretch with a
completely open view of the inlet on the left.  Even with help from 24
angry crows, it took me a very long time to see the owls.  I found the
fledglings first by scanning the dense woods under magnification and barely
seeing the owls’ tan down.



* One adult and two very young, endearing white hatchling RED-TAILED HAWKS
in the nest in the middle of the golf course (Sunday), with a second adult
circling and calling close by.



* Three SPOTTED SANDPIPERS at the base of the concrete jetty (Monday).
Sandy told me she saw four sandpipers before I arrived.



My full Monday checklist and a couple of photos are here:
