[cayugabirds-l] Snow geese at the muck

2017-05-01 Thread John and Fritzie Blizzard
Saw 5 snow geese close to the road just east of the potato building 
along Rte. 31 Mon. about 5:45 p.m.. Sky was already getting dark before 
the storm so I couldn't see much other than dozens of gulls.


At Mud Lock I saw one bald eagle in the tree near the new nest & an 
osprey on the nest atop the old elec. platform. Another osprey landed on 
the power line with something that he wasn't able to get off the talons 
of his left foot. When the storm hit, he flew off towards the woods 
across from the lock.


Then the storm hit & a man with 3 fishing poles in the water & one in 
his hand, just threw a blanket over his head & body & continued to fish. 
I don't quite know how to label such (?) dedication (?).


I made my way rather slowly in the pouring rain to Union Springs with 
flashers on from Cayuga.


Fritzie

[cayugabirds-l] Brown Thrasher, and an unexpected reprieve

2017-05-01 Thread Geo Kloppel
I'd been thinking there might be no Brown Thrashers nesting at my place this 
year, but just this morning one took up the usual singing perches, and made 
himself very noticeable.

The toad frenzy ended days ago, and the revelers have all departed from the 
pond, leaving behind lots of eggs, and also a mystery: there were no corpses 
this year! Usually after the toads' big pool party the grassy dike looks like a 
dissection lab emptied for fire drill. But this year the Crows left the toads 
in peace. 

Assuming that the Crows seen on the dike at times, poking after moles or 
something, are members of the same family that has exploited the hapless toads 
for years, I have to think that because the pool party happened about ten days 
early this year, the Crows weren't ready to make use of them. 

-Geo

Hi All,

Please watch the attached video and message from Bob Beck supporting
the proposed extension of the Jim Schug trail, from Dryden to the East
Ithaca Recreation Way.   When complete the trail will provide access to
many otherwise nearly inaccessible top shelf birding and general nature
observation sites and opportunities, as well as a safe footpath and bike
way connecting Dryden to Ithaca and its large network of trails.

You can voice your support for the trail and the many opportunities it will
provide birders and naturalists by voting once a day until May,12. Please
do so.  We can use all the help we can get.  $50,000 to $100,000 would
go a long way towards making this project a reality.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Fwd: Guess which bird made the front page of the Scottish BBC news...

2017-05-01 Thread Jody Enck
Hi All,

Here's an opportunity to dust off your field guides (as many as you can
find) and look at all the different plumages presented in those guides of
Red-winged Blackbirds.  Like many, many species of birds, males and females
of Red-winged Blackbirds look quite different.  The picture posted on the
BBC website of the bird is a female.  So, yes, this time of year about half
the Red-winged Blackbirds out there really do look like this.  As these are
typically short-distant migrants, it is quite astounding that this bird
made it all the way to Scotland.  Even if it hop-scotched across Greenland
and Iceland to get there, it is quite a feat for this bird.  Very cool.

[cayugabirds-l] Finger Lakes Land Trust Spring Bird Quest: May 27-29

2017-05-01 Thread Mark Chao
As we do on every year, the Finger Lakes Land Trust and I are offering a
series of bird walks over Memorial Day weekend.  We call the event the
Spring Bird Quest (SBQ).  It is a great way for birders of all levels to
get to know our local breeding birds in a variety of wonderful habitats.
The SBQ also shines a light on the Land Trust’s role in preserving these
places in perpetuity for us and the birds we love.



This year, there will be five walks.



Saturday,  May 27

Lindsay-Parsons Biodiversity Preserve

Routes 34 and 96, West Danby

Meet in the main parking lot at 8:00 AM



Sunday, May 28

Bock-Harvey Forest Preserve (owned by the Finger Lakes Trail Conference,
subject a conservation easement held by the Land Trust)

Rockwell Road, Enfield

Meet in the main parking lot at 8:00 AM



Stevenson Forest Preserve

Trumbull Corners Road, Enfield

Meet along the road at the preserve at 10:00 AM



Monday, May 29

Goetchius Wetland Preserve

Flatiron Road, Caroline

Meet in the parking area at 6:30 AM



Roy H. Park Preserve

Irish Settlement Road, Dryden

Meet in the south parking area between Goodband Road and Midline Road (not
the lot north of Goodband) at 8:30 AM



For more information, see http://www.fllt.org/spring-bird-quest/.



All of the walks are free, but as usual I will count all the bird species
that I find on the preserves throughout the weekend, and will raise money
for the Land Trust from pledges.  Since 2006 I think we have raised at
least $65,000 for the Land Trust in this way.  If you’d like to make a
pledge, please contact me or visit http://www.fllt.org/donate/.  (If you do
donate online, please check the box to mark the gift “in honor of someone”
and type in “Spring Bird Quest.”)



I hope to see many of you out on the trails over Memorial Day weekend!



Mark Chao

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Fwd: Blue Grosbeak Upper Lisle County park. Broome county.

2017-05-01 Thread Asher Hockett
It was a week later in 2012 we had a Blue Grosbeak on Comfort Rd. So this
is the time to be on the lookout!

Just had a singing BLUE GROSBEAK from claybanks trail Upper Lisle County
park in Broome co.  The bird was singing voraciously for a while and then
chased by Purple finches.  Another Black Vulture was seen in Vestal NY
today as well. Am I still in upstate NY?

[cayugabirds-l] Bobolinks and a Yellow Warbler

2017-05-01 Thread Tom Hoebbel
I had my FOY Yellow Warbler this morning and a B yesterday.  We also had
Bobolinks fly over toward our field here in Brooktondale, but I am not sure
they stayed here.
