On Tuesday morning in Sapsucker Woods, I joined Tom Hoebbel, Holly Adams, Diane 
Morton, Laurie Ray, Leigh Stivers, and several others in watching at least one 
female and six male CAPE MAY WARBLERS in the flowering pear trees at the 
footbridge at the western split of the Wilson Trail North.  The gray sky and 
the near-constant zooming combat among the males made for challenging viewing, 
but with patience, we all got extremely good looks.  I donât 
think Iâd ever previously seen so many Cape May Warblers so close 
together for so long. 
 
NORTHERN PARULAS were offering excellent views here too.  Other warblers were 
a bit harder to find, but collectively I think we found at least a dozen other 
species, including WILSONâS, BAY-BREASTED, BLACKBURNIAN, 
BLACK-THROATED BLUE, BLACK-THROATED GREEN, BLUE-WINGED, BLACK-AND-WHITE, and 
NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH.

[cayugabirds-l] Squirrel starts bird mob behavior, FOY Baltimore Oriole arrives

2019-05-07 Thread Sandy 
A squirrel climbed up a crabapple tree in my backyard this morning and
started making an alarm call. Within a minute, a grackle came and landed
near the squirrel, but slightly above, and was looking down and then
started adding to the alarm. I assumed it was one of my neighbors wandering
cats as I see birds often mob when one comes by. I've seen a squirrel do
this by itself, but this is the first time I saw a squirrel do it with
birds! Then two more grackles came. They were triangulating the target of
their wrath!  Then came a mourning dove who just watched and then I think I
heard a blue jay. My memory fades at this point, as everyone left shortly
after as the threat probably went in another direction.

Shortly thereafter, I heard my first Baltimore Oriole of the year. It was
dining in the crabapple.

[cayugabirds-l] New arrivals early AM 5/07/2019

2019-05-07 Thread khmo 
Nexrad was right on this AM when we checked around the sanctuary and
 added Blackburnian. Black-throated Green and Bay Breasted Warblers as
 well as Red-eyed Vireo and an Eastern Wood Pewee.
 The quince are now in full bloom much to the delight of the Orioles
that
 have ben here for several days and the hummer who finally arrived at
noon. That brings the year list for the sanctuary to 93 species.
