[cayugabirds-l] Lab of O hat wanted

[Michael O. Engle]

Hi birders,

We want to buy a Lab of O hat with the embroidered sapsucker as a gift, but we 
can't seem to find one on the web sites for the Lab or Wild Birds Unlimited 
(closed for the visitor center renovation). Thanks for any clues about where we 
can get one. Apologies if this is off-topic for the list.

[cayugabirds-l] Osprey fishing

[Michael O. Engle]

About an hour ago at Houston Pond in Newman Arboretum, we saw an osprey come in 
low, hover, and dive. We didn't see it grab the koi from the main pond, but we 
saw the orange koi in the talons of the osprey as it slowly gained altitude and 
flew away.

[cayugabirds-l] Red headed woodpecker continues in Palmer Woods this morning

[Michael O. Engle]

Just returned from a lengthy viewing of the RH woodpecker at the top of the 
knoll on the red trail in Palmer Woods between 9 and 10 am. The same behavior 
as Liisa described. It seemed to be feeding wherever it landed.

Thanks to this list I have been able to see an all-time favorite bird for the 
first time in this area and also learn of Palmer Woods. Thanks also to the 
Botanic Gardens for protecting this bit of predominantly oak woodland. Blue 
jays, red-bellied woodpecker(s), and a titmouse were also feeding in the woods 
this morning.

us out.

It was where it has been reported all along, on the large oak close to the Red

just opposite Iroquois Rd.

Our only earlier sighting in Ithaca had been on Coddington Road ages ago. Hope

Around here I have noticed that this is a good year for fruits, nuts and berry 
production. My cedar trees are totally loaded with ripening cedar berries that 
are starting to turn blue. The Waxwings will love them. There are lots of 
apples, pears, hickory nuts, and a couple neighbors and I let thistles go to 
seed (other neighbors think we are nuts). I have not checked out the oaks for 
acorns, so don’t know how they are doing, but I think generally it is a good 
“food year”.

Subject: Re: [cayugabirds-l] When to stop feeding hummers AND Orioles

Hi Pete,

Don't worry about either the Hummingbirds or the Orioles.  Food availability is 
not really a driver in migration timing for any species.  That would be quite 
maladaptive.  Other cues, including but not limited to day length, sometimes 
combined with wind direction, atmospheric pressure, tilt of the Earth (as 
evidenced by changing night sky), and other things.  I am simply trying to say 
that you should not feel guilty at all of leaving your feeders up (or taking 
them down) when it suites you.  It is wonderful that you feed them when you do, 
and I hope you feel good about that.  I plan to leave my hummingbird and oriole 
feeders up until we have a chance for a hard frost.  There is plenty of food 
out there now for nectar and fruit feeders, but some late migrants might really 
appreciate your feeders when the nights start getting frosty!

Take care
Jody

RE:[cayugabirds-l] help determining the time to mow fields

[Michael O. Engle]

I'm fine with the discussion taking place on the list. I think it would be 
good, in the end, if one person could work directly with the livestock guy I 
talked with to advise/train/support him over time. It's certainly a useful kind 
of knowledge for livestock producers who manage fields for hay. I wonder if the 
county extension folks are a useful resource to help out and provide support 
with this topic.

While I can understand why Michael wants to keep the conversation with the 
livestock person off the list, I think it would benefit many of us if we knew 
what are the recommendations are for when is the best time to mow hay or grass 
fields with regard to protecting nesting grassland birds and their offspring.

I would like this information to be posted on the list.
I often toy with the idea of trying to convince some local landowners here in 
Lansing to mow large grass expanses in later summer, but I don't know what the 
cut-off date is.

Subject: Re: [bsbp-discuss] Pileated Woodpecker?!



Woodpeckers are going after insects. I am no bird expert -- I don't know if 
their presence is an indication of a diseased tree and/or if they are actually 
preventing an infestation.
I am sure someone else can educate us.

Hello All,

Has anyone out there had any success ridding themselves and their trees of the 
pileated woodpecker?  It's almost unbelievable, the pileated woodpecker is 
going after some of my mature trees like a wood-chipper machine!

These birds are quickly becoming another species of urban wildlife on my 
elimination list.  Easier said than done, or so I'm finding, but I wonder if 
others have had better experiences.

[cayugabirds-l] Afternoon highlight: Golden-crowned kinglet

[Michael O. Engle]

On South Hill Rec Way about an hour ago, a golden-crowned kinglet, about a half 
mile west of the Burns Road entrance.

Also, possibly of interest from Monday last, we were surprised to see both a 
belted kingfisher and a great blue heron fishing on the reservoir behind 
thirty-foot dam and also slightly upstream on Six Mile Creek.

[cayugabirds-l] 2 scarlet tanagers

[Michael O. Engle]

We saw two stunningly bright male scarlet tanagers on our midday walk. One was 
on South Hill Rec Way about 1/2 mile

east of the Juniper St. entrance (just past the former location of the gate 
across the trail).


The second was on the west side of Water Street below the new valve building 
for the water plant.


Both were nearly finished molting with small but differently-shaped 
light-colored areas toward the back of their otherwise solid scarlet breasts.


The second bird was practically a yard bird for us! A neighborhood bird.

[cayugabirds-l] Robins and cedar waxings

[Michael O. Engle]

A large group of robins and cedar waxwings have been coming and going from the 
red oak tree just north of Olin Library in the Arts Quad for hours. Many more 
cedar waxwings are gathered in the pine trees near the southeast corner of Olin 
Library by Stimson Hall right now.

[cayugabirds-l] Bald eagle sighting

[Michael O. Engle]

This morning at 6:30 we spotted a bald eagle flying over the 30-foot dam 
reservoir on Six Mile Creek. It was being harrassed by a smaller bird. This is 
our first eagle sighting at Six Mile. What a treat!

[cayugabirds-l] 2 woodcock displays

[Michael O Engle]

Just off South Hill Rec Way at dusk tonight (7:30-7:50pm). One in the large 
field north of the temporary wooden footbridge on the trail. The other about 
100 yards west of the footbridge and south of the trail. I observed about 8 
cycles in the north field before heading back toward town, then heard the other 
bird on my way back.

Fantastic!
