[cayugabirds-l] Varied thrush

[Donna Lee Scott]

Still behind blue house, Honeypot Rd , Candor. Just off 96B.
Owner said it mostly stays in thick old crabapple tree right behind house, 
which is where I found it.
I saw it there & also feeding on ground near little “outhouse”.

As Gary K. said, approach from corn stubble field. Owner may see you or your 
parked car & invite you to that edge of yard.

Beautiful bird!

[cayugabirds-l] White capped goldfinch

[Donna Lee Scott]

...Is back at my backyard feeders.

Upon looking at goldfinch pictures in 3 of my field guides and comparing this 
bird to its three more yellowy fellows here, I see that the white markings on 
its wings, back and tail are normal. Just a little larger & whiter seeming 
perhaps.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Weird birds

[Gary Kohlenberg]

Some of these lists have been from California :) This has been going on for 
quite some time and I keep thinking we have rarities to chase, but no such luck.

 When I first saw one of these lists I thought someone was playing games, and 
I got annoyed. But after seeing several lists from different observers listing 
birds from various parts of the world but nominally all observed in Stewart 
Park, it is clear to me that all these lists are mislabeled due to the same 
innocent error which more likely due to some glitch in the system than to 
something the observer has done. Until the folks at eBird figure out why this 
happens and fix the problem, I see no point in getting mad. Instead, it’s fun 
to try to figure out where in the world the list was actually made, based on 
the ranges of the different species. I recognized several bird names from Costa 
Rica on one list, and by going back to the list after the location was 
corrected, I found out I was correct. We should get prizes for how close our 
guesses are.

sBird lists the New Zealand bird reports as originating from Stewart Park! 
There were also erroneous Osprey sightings a few weeks ago.

Why are we getting these weird e bird reports from Tompkins county that have 
birds that aren’t found here?  It makes a mockery of e bird reports.
