[cayugabirds-l] Orioles back at Beebe

[Ian Price]

I’ve been popping over from lab every few days when I get a chance during
lunch and as of today (as far as I know) the Baltimore orioles are back at
Beebe Lake on Cornell campus! There were at least 3 males and at least one
female hanging around last year. Maybe the same ones now?

Also seen were palm warblers and yellow-rumped warblers, among our other
favorites.

Ian

RE: [cayugabirds-l] bobolinks and yellowthroat/mowing

[Donna Lee Scott]

Hi Eric,

The Cornell U. Cooperative Extension publication entitled Hayfield Management 
and Grassland Bird Conservation by Jim Ochterski (CCE of Schuler County; 
ja...@cornell.edu) says this on page 2:

“To be considered good habitat for grassland birds, a grass hayfield needs to 
remain substantially unmown through the breeding season, which begins in early 
May and ends by mid-July across most of New York State. During this time 
hayfields grow vigorously, providing shelter, nesting areas among the grass 
stems, and a source of insects that comprise bird diets. Any significant 
disturbance, like mowing or manure application, will cause most nest to fail. 
Alfalfa hay stands are generally unsuitable for grassland birds.

In New York, breeding grassland birds will begin identifying territories from 
late April through May. Nest building and egg laying occur through early June 
and young birds tend to hatch by mid to late June. The ability to fly for cover 
and feeding(called ‘fledging’ ) develops by early July.”

The article has a calendar which shows the dates May 14 thru July 22 as times 
when MOWING DETRIMENTAL to grassland birds.

Speaking of Bobolinks, my neighbor just asked me if it was ok to mow now before 
they make their nests. I wasn't sure of best timing for early mowing so wanted 
to touch base with the collective experience on this list. What are best 
practices I can share with my neighbors as far as when to NOT mow (beginning

[cayugabirds-l] OT- Cayuga Bird Club trip tomorrow 5/4

[Joshua Snodgrass]

WhenSat, May 4, 7:30am – 4:30pm
*Where: Finger Lakes National Forest- Teeter Pond*
*No registration necessary- all are welcome.*
. I will be leading an all day field trip in the Finger Lakes National
Forest and possibly other sites in Schuyler County for a casual Schuyler
County Big Day. We will spend most of the day in the Finger Lakes NF,
searching for migrant and resident birds in a variety of habitats - mature
forest, scrubland, grassland, and several ponds within the forest to
maximize our chances for high species diversity. Depending on time and
interest, we may head down to the south end of Seneca Lake and Catherine
Creek Marsh for wetland species and waterfowl. I plan on being in the field
all day, but participants are welcome to depart early or arrive late
(contact me via text/call for a rendezvous 570-362-2548). This will be an
all day trip in rustic habitat with limited facilities. I'll plan on a
brief stop for lunch/snacks, but bring water and dress for the weather and
possible mucky trails. We will meet at the parking lot at Teeter Pond in
the Finger Lakes National Forest at 7:30am. From Searsburg Rd (CR 1) turn
north on Potomac Rd. and turn left (west) at the T intersection. The
parking lot is on the south side of the road across from Horton Pasture.
There is an eBird hotspot for Finger Lakes NF-Teeter Pond
https://ebird.org/hotspot/L940987 that has a clickable link for directions.
If you have questions, contact me at cedarsh...@gmail.com, or for a faster
response, by text at the number above.
Hope to see you there!Josh

[Johnson, Alyssa]

At the Montezuma Audubon Center (Route 89, Savannah) we had our FOY 
Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and Baltimore Oriole's on Thursday 5/2, and a FOY 
Ruby-throated Hummingbird today, 5/3!

RBGR was seen feeding on black oil sunflower seeds on the ground. BAOR was 
enjoying fresh oranges and nectar from the feeders. RTHU was also seen at the 
nectar feeder.

[cayugabirds-l] Merlin nest info.

[John Confer]

Hi Folks,

I have monitored nesting success of Merlins for four previous years. This 
year neat finding has been really slow. I know of a probable nest near 
Freeville and a probable nest near the Ithaca swim club and a third in 
Endicott. The adults are flying around the probably nest, but not yet 
incubating. From other years my earliest incubation date has been 1 May with 
some nests considerably later.

   This year I have made probably 2-6 trips to every report of a Merlin 
sighting, either those sent to me (at confergoldw...@aol.com) or posted to 
eBird. Boy, either they are getting more sneaky, or my skill is dropping. Well, 
my hearing isn't as good, and I can't get out at daylight, which I have found 
to be the most fruitful time.

   I have used the observations for science publications and popular science 
education. I don't tell people about nests if the only access is on private 
property, and I don't tell people about a nest until the nestlings are fairly 
old, at which point the adults are very unlikely to desert. I have found nests 
on the border of school grounds, in branches over roads and even highways, and 
adjacent to really busy sidewalks. I followed one nest adjacent to another 
conifer that was cut down as the adults fed the nestlings in order to make way 
for the installation of an above ground swimming pool. And the young fledged. I 
don't like to take any chances with disturbing nesting birds, but I think 
Merlin are extraordinairly well adapted to humans.

  I find it interesting that I have never found a really rural Merlin nest. 
Surely nests in urban/suburban areas are  morel likely to be ofund. But none 
out of 24 in rural areas. Not sure why that should be.

   Love to hear about any probable Merlin nest, thanks.

John Confer

[cayugabirds-l] Trumansburg FOS birds

[Jared Dawson]

Coming out on my porch in the village of Trumansburg at dawn this morning the 
3rd I was greeted by the wheep call of the GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER. Further 
down Bradley there was a GRAY CATBIRD song coming out of the forsythia. Down 
off of Salo Dr there was the first BALTIMORE ORIOLE male calling.
Overall on the dawn walk there were 4 Catbirds, a small flock of PURPLE FINCH, 
with some singing, and two WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS singing in the same vicinity 
off of Salo. Could not come up with a single warbler. 
Jared Dawson
T’burg

ps, there have been several people posting results from their homes; I imagine 
most of the regulars recognize the birders’ names and know the whereabouts of 
these posts, but I’m still fairly new to the area and would appreciate if 
people posting would at the minimum put their town or village name in as part 
of their signature. Thanks!

[cayugabirds-l] More migrants

[Dave Nutter]

Looking at the radar before work early this morning, I can tell there is a lot 
of bird movement, so today (Fri 3 May) should bring additional interesting & 
new birds. 

Yesterday I was in touch with Reuben Stoltzfus, who found Blue-winged Warbler 
and Bobolink from a work site on Caswell Rd in Dryden. As he left, he got word 
of the Townsend’s Warbler which Dave Wheeler had discovered at Sodus Bay, and 
had his driver take him there, joining many birders to see that rarity. While 
there, Reuben discovered a wren which others helped ID as a Sedge Wren. On his 
way home, Reuben had his driver swing through the Wildlife Drive at Montezuma 
where he found an Orchard Oriole near the Seneca Trail. 

It’s going to take awhile to get all the new basin birds into the table, but 
I’ll work on it. Thanks for all the reports!
