Re: [cayugabirds-l] Baltimore Oriole and Common Yellowthroat

[Yvonne Fogarty]

Hi all, here on Bundy Road we have a eastern tower pair and  a grosbeak pair. 
It has been thrilling to look at the feeders and see the goldfinches, 
cardinals, red bellies, hairies, dowries, nuthatches, chickadees, House 
finches, blue jays and the occasional hawk that comes for a meal!

[cayugabirds-l] Fox sparrow

[Yvonne Fogarty]

Hi all, 
We have a fox sparrow at our bird feeder today. It is hanging out with the 
white throated sparrows. Has anyone else seen then? I don't usually see them 
til spring.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods Weekend Bird walk reports.

 Speaking of compliant Phoebes, I walked to Sherwood Platform at lunch and met 
 (first time) a visitor/birder from NYC. As he was turning to leave and I was 
 approaching, I spotted a Phoebe on the hand rail and pointed it out to him. 
 It was 5’ away. Then it hopped to a closer post and eventually to about 3’ 
 from us. We remarked that it must be a juvenile though it was in full 
 feather. Then it landed on the floor of the platform in the hot sun and 
 spread its wings and squashed its belly down, opened its mouth and started 
 sunning. We had to walk around it (!) to get back to the rail to look for 
 herons and kingbirds, etc. It finally flew into the bushes at its own good 
 time.
 
 I have often thought of tethering a flycatcher to my hat to ward off 
 mosquitoes...

 Reports from this past weekend's beginner bird walks led by Cayuga Bird Club 
 Members.
 Saturday from Lisa Wood. 22 participants. Big group today, so I was grateful 
 for help from CBC member Donna Coventry Wray, who’s been on many, many of 
 these walks and is a multiple-year SFO alumna. A few “townies” were mixed in 
 with the many visitors. We had several memorable experiences in the 2.5 
 hours it took us to get all the way around the Wilson Trail. First, we had 
 good looks at a silent Yellow Warbler pair foraging in full sun near the 
 Owens Platform boardwalk. From the platform itself, we watched a long and 
 daring (and comical) “tightrope“ walk by a Green Heron across a section of 
 the wire above the pond. From the Sherwood Platform, everyone enjoyed 
 watching Eastern Kingbirds feeding busily and noisily above the lily pads. 
 Having seen a Great Crested Flycatcher earlier, we declared it a flycatcher 
 day when, by the pergola, we were repeatedly “buzzed” by a brave little 
 Eastern Phoebe. The bird first flew from the island over to the shore and 
 perched above us, quite close. That was a nice treat, but then it actually 
 flew to a couple of us, close to our faces and above our heads/hats—close 
 enough that those of us in the front couldn’t help but flinch. Evidently the 
 bird was after the mosquitoes that were after us! It successfully caught 
 prey several times while we stood there—what a thrill for all of us!
 
 And Sunday from Paul Anderson 10 participants.I had ten people show up: a 
 group of six students from Colombia, a couple from New Jersey and a two 
 ladies from Binghamton. There was a lot to see, even if little of it was 
 unusual. Many juveniles of many species were out begging. We saw more 
 flycatchers - mostly Phoebes - than I've ever seen on one of these walks. 
 The mosquitoes were voracious. An early highlight was a Green Heron on the 
 main pond, but everybody's favorite was a group of three baby Wood Ducks.
