[cayugabirds-l] Night heron, Lesser BB Gulls at Stewart Park
So far at Stewart Park right now there is a BLACK CROWNED NIGHT HERON sitting conspicuously on a snag above the swan pen, and at least 2 LESSER BLACK BACKED GULLS floating offshore.

[cayugabirds-l] Night Heron sp. (yesterday)
Just before the rains came last evening, while walking the dog in my backyard, I heard a single 'qwok' looked up and saw a largish winged bird flapping rapidly NW which would be more or less on a path from Sapsucker Woods to Cayuga Lake (or many other ponds along the way). Listening to all readily available recordings of Black-crowned and Yellow-crowned Night Herons convinced me it sounded more like BCNH. But the wing profile was rather narrow (leading to trailing edge) and the bird seemed overall rather darker blue. Googling flying Night Herons, I found more YCNH images that looked like that, whereas BCNH seemed to have a fuller rounder wing profile. So, nice NEW yard bird, but semi-unsatisfying that I couldn't nail it to species. I saw no reports on this list from anyone observing either at SSW yesterday. Did anyone? __ Chris Pelkie Research Analyst Bioacoustics Research Program Cornell Lab of Ornithology 159 Sapsucker Woods Road Ithaca, NY 14850 -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Night Heron
We had our BLACK CROWNED NIGHT HERON making a ruckus last night, around midnight, intermittantly chiming in with our Green Frogs, Bullfrogs, Am Toads and peepers. No Mink frogs or Grey Tree frogs in the chorus though. -holly On Sun, Jun 2, 2013 at 10:32 AM, Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes c...@cornell.edu wrote: Good morning! Since I've started recording most favorable nights (late May, on), it would seem that Cuckoo migration is well under way. The biggest push seemed to be the night of 31 May to 1 June. On this night, I recorded 12 distinctly different Black-billed Cuckoos, with the first occurring at 10:46pm and the last occurring at 4:02am. Five Yellow-billed Cuckoos called over this same night, the first at 10:56pm and the last at 4:14am. Last night (1-2 June) was less favorable, with generally breezier than ideal conditions. Only three Black-billed Cuckoos were recorded calling (night flight call) overhead at 11:57pm, 2:19am, and 3:55am. Daytime reports of Cuckoos has also been up in this region over the past few days. To those who listen or record at night, good night-listening! Sincerely, Chris T-H -- Christopher T.
