[cayugabirds-l] Little Gulls, Union Springs

[Jay McGowan]

This evening I drove up to Union Springs to study the gull and tern
congregation off Frontenac Harbor Marina. I was not disappointed: Common
Tern and Bonaparte's Gull numbers were at an all-time high, with the
breakwall resembling a tern colony in its concentrations and sound. Besides
the Commons, at least two FORSTER'S TERNS joined the throng. Before long I
spotted an immature LITTLE GULL foraging over the bay to the north, and it
eventually came closer and landed on the breakwall. At some point it was
joined by a second LITTLE GULL in very similar plumage, and although it
took me some time to confirm, I finally did get photos showing both birds
in the same frame. Most of the flock took off and headed out onto the lake
when some fishers got too close, but will undoubtedly return.

List with photos:

[cayugabirds-l] Lansing Station Rd birds

[Donna Lee Scott]

I continue to hear WOOD THRUSHES singing in the woods up and down the road. 
WHITE THROATED SPARROW heard in trees yesterday (Monday). Warblers are mainly 
YELLOW, YELLOW RUMPED, & AMERICAN REDSTART.
RUBY THROATED HUMMINGBIRDS are here at feeder while the GRAY CATBIRDS & BLUE 
JAYS, along with the B. ORIOLES, continue to eat grape jelly. ORIOLES still on 
oranges and suet is disappearing rapidly; there seems to be a lot of B. ORIOLES 
along this road in the tall trees. Some of the non-birders mention hearing them 
sing, so they are good ambassadors for birds. Two neighbors have oranges and 
suet out, too.

Have seen N. FLICKERS, & DOWNY & HAIRY WOODPECKERS. Heard the E. PHOEBE that is 
nesting at the barn south of here, as well as a SCARLET TANAGER singing nearby. 
A calling KINGFISHER zoomed over the lake. Have not heard the C. Loons for a 
couple of days, but may have missed them calling while I was inside. CAROLINA 
WRENS call outside and tend their nest under the porch roof.

Sunday's afternoon treat was running across a nesting WILD TURKEY way up in the 
woods; she ran off as we approached and luckily my old, 13 yr. dog did not see 
her. I studied the nest and its 11 buff-colored, light-brown spotted eggs. (Dog 
was nearby doing her favorite woods thing: eating deer poop, but she loves 
eggs, so I kept her well away). Nest is just a big depression in packed-down 
dead oak leaves at the top edge of a 5-foot embankment, in the crotch of a 
downed tree. I sent phone pix of the nest and eggs to Robyn Bailey at the Lab 
of O.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Yes to White-Crowned Sparrow

[John and Sue Gregoire]

Bill, Larry, et al,

Eastern White-crowned Sparrows (EWCS formerly WCSP) remain here although numbers
drop day by day to where we have only a half dozen in the feeder area.
White-throated Sparrows are now mostly gone although a few were here through 
Sunday.

In the 30 years we banded here EWCS have been an annual treat spring and fall. 
With
only one exception in the early 90s, they stopover here for about a month in 
both
migrations.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] WC Sparrows & RB Grosbeaks

[Lee Ann van Leer]

Rose-breasted Grosbeaks breed in this area so you will be able to find them 
continuing throughout the summer. 

I have seen White-crowned Sparrows since May 2nd  throughout Tompkins County.  
There is one singing outside my window at this moment.

[cayugabirds-l] West Hill migrants

[Caro]

Today we've had a very active SCARLET TANAGER (lots of chip-burr notes between 
serenades), a busy CAPE MAY WARBLER doing a few different variations on his 
song, and some BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLERS among the clouds of YELLOW-RUMPED 
WARBLERS. The BALTIMORE ORIOLES are eating both oranges and suet. No hummers 
here yet but I've got the feeder up and it's looking hopeful.

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Tues 5/17

[Mark Chao]

Here are some highlights from Sapsucker Woods on Tuesday morning.



* A pair of BLUE-HEADED VIREOS close together along the East Trail, near
the green Lucente building.  One of these birds had beautiful intense
colors, with yellow sides and a dark head, while the other appeared only
gray and white.  I saw the duller vireo carrying a fecal sac away, but did
not find the nest.



* Thirteen warbler species, including:



WILSON’S WARBLER (three males along Wilson North – one seen singing
normally by Fuller Wetlands, one seen foraging silently at the same time,
and one singing an atypical two-part song ending in a short smooth trill by
the green pond across the trail from the Sherwood Platform)

BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER (1 M, 1 F along power-line cut and
Hoyt-Pileated Trail, respectively)

BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER (1 M, Hoyt-Pileated)

MAGNOLIA WARBLER (Wilson North, Hoyt-Pileated, and East)

YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER (parking lot)

CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER (at least one vociferously defending territory under
power lines). Thanks to Jay McGowan, who tipped me off about good warbler
diversity on the east side.

BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER (silent M, Hoyt-Pileated)

NORTHERN PARULA (singing alternate multisyllabic song, East Trail)



(I missed Brad’s BAY-BREASTED WARBLER and also a PALM WARBLER found by
Nancy Brooks.  So the warbler species tally today is at least 15.)



* WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW under the power lines on the east side



* PINE SISKIN calling by Lucente building



* A pair of WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCHES at an apparent nest hole in a tall
tree, East Trail

[cayugabirds-l] Basin Big Day Saturday

[Jay McGowan]

Brad Walker and I toured the Basin on Saturday as part of eBird's Global
Big Day (http://ebird.org/ebird/globalbigday). Our goal, in addition to
seeing a lot of birds, was to attempt a Media Big Day, gathering audio
recordings or photographs of as many species as possible. While the morning
conditions were excellent, strong winds and several bands of thunderstorms
made for challenging conditions during the day. Still, we were able to
tally 181 species for the day, six higher than Livia's and my effort last
year. We're still in the process of editing and uploading the media, but it
looks like we should have media documentation for 170 species.

Here are some of the highlights:
–Good night birding with a few nocturnal migrants and all three common owls
–The continuing HENSLOW'S SPARROW singing well in the middle of the night
–A surprise EASTERN WHIP-POOR-WILL flushed off the side of the road on Bald
Hill Road in Danby
–AMERICAN BITTERN and ACADIAN FLYCATCHER at Michigan Hollow before dawn
(just outside the Basin but on the way)
–A nice morning at Lindsay-Parsons and vicinity with most of the usual
breeders plus migrant BAY-BREASTED and CAPE MAY WARBLERS, NORTHERN PARULA,
and PHILADELPHIA VIREO
–A late male AMERICAN WIGEON on Jennings Pond
–Continuing cooperative CLAY-COLORED SPARROW on campus
–A few lingering ducks at Stewart Park, including LESSER SCAUP, BUFFLEHEAD,
and RED-BREASTED MERGANSER, as well as Palm and Blackpoll warblers at the
swan pen
–GRASSHOPPER SPARROW in Lake Road fields
–Crazy numbers of COMMON TERNS and BONAPARTE'S GULLS at Frontenac Marina,
as well as one FORSTER'S; others also had HORNED GREBES here
–Late male COMMON GOLDENEYE off Mud Lock
It was windy and rainy by the time we reached Montezuma, but we were able
to pick up most of what we needed, including
–Five LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS along with DUNLIN, SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, both
yellowlegs, Least Sandpiper, Solitary Sandpiper, and Spotted Sandpiper at
Tschache Pool
–Continuing PROTHONOTARY WARBLER at Armitage Road
–UPLAND SANDPIPERS at Lott Farm in Seneca Falls
–Three SURF SCOTERS found by Matt Medler off Cayuga Lake State Park; others
had a female BLACK SCOTER there later in the evening!
–Two GLOSSY IBIS feeding in Knox-Marsellus, also found by Matt Medler and
seen that morning by refuge staff at the visitor center; these birds
disappeared soon after we arrived

All in all, a challenging day but with enough surprises to keep it
exciting! Major misses were Wilson's and Mourning warblers, Broad-winged
and Red-shouldered hawks, Trumpeter Swan, Sandhill Crane, Ring-necked
Pheasant, Vesper and Lincoln's sparrows, Winter Wren, and a few of the
rarities found during the day (saw-whet, Olive-sided, Red-headed, Black
Scoter, Horned Grebe). Here are a few lists from the day:

Barred Owl at Sapsucker Woods with some nice recordings:
http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S29677674

Henslow's pre-dawn: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S29677702

Way too many recordings from Lindsay-Parsons in the morning:

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: May 17, 2016 - 16 Warbler Species

[Kenneth J. Kemphues]

I can add to Chris’s Hawthorn list  2 Wilson’s warblers and 2 bay breasted 
warblers.  One of the Wilson’s warblers was called in by Chris’s spishing in 
the brush in the Southwest section (at least I assume it was Chris - I didn’t 
actually see him); the other was in the ravine in the northwest corner.  The 
bay breasted warblers were along the main path that parallels the ravine.

[cayugabirds-l] Yes to White-Crowned Sparrow

[W. Larry Hymes]

Bill Mcaneny reported a WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW and asked if anyone else 
still has this species.  We had a small flock up until last Thursday.  I 
thought they had moved on.  But on Sunday a single White-Crowned showed 
up and is still making an appearance --- late straggler??  We also still 
have ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS.  Based on our records both species should 
have moved on by now.  But it's really nice to have them stick around 
longer.


Another surprise bird for our yard popped in today --- SWAINSON'S 
THRUSH!!  Was this a Hawthorn Woods bird that took a wrong turn???

[cayugabirds-l] lots o' birds today-Hunt Hill Rd

[Laura Stenzler]

Hi,
 Between 7:30 and 8:40 this morning, I enjoyed a mini fallout in our yard on 
Hunt Hill Rd.  This included 11 warbler species as part of a total of 36 
species seen and heard. Below is my ebird list. Wilson's warbler, Cape May, 
Parula and Blackburnian warbler were the highlights for me!
