[cayugabirds-l] White-winged Turkey Vulture

[Dave Nutter]

This morning at 9:50am as I drove east on NYS-366 through Varna, I saw a/the 
white-winged Turkey Vulture soaring rather low near the intersection with 
Freese & Mt Pleasant Roads. Since the taxi was empty, I was able to pull over 
and get a binocular view.

On the right wing it only a single white feather, the outermost primary, that 
is the leading edge. All of the other flight feathers on the right wing were 
normal (silver below), and the right wing lining was also normal, solid 
blackish brown.

But one the left wing all the primaries were white except a single darker one 
among them about 4th or 5th from the leading edge. Under the left wing there 
was a round patch of dark feathers at the base of the primaries separated by 
whitish from the rest of the dark normal wing lining. 

Just now I can’t find any photos of the white-winged Turkey Vulture from 
several years ago, but this bird reminded me very strongly of that bird. If 
anyone has photos of that bird, or recalls the last time it was sighted, or 
also saw this bird lately, I would be interested.

[cayugabirds-l] white-winged Turkey Vulture

[Sara Jane Hymes]

Larry and I went up the lake today for a leisure day of birding.  While 
we really didn't see anything out of the ordinary we had 'our' first 
glimpse of the (a) white-winged Turkey Vulture seen soaring about a mile 
north of King Ferry on route 90. However, we did see some 'rare 
birders'--Susan Danskin and Ann Mitchell, who will report if they saw 
anything unusual.

[cayugabirds-l] white-winged Turkey Vulture white American Robin

[Dave Nutter]

This afternoon I had the occasion to be in Dryden with a couple of hours to spare. In between snow flurries I saw a few birds, the most notable of which were coincidentally white.On Ferguson Road and moving between Mill Street and NYS-38 among a mixed flock of CEDAR WAXWINGS and AMERICAN ROBINS (with a couple BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEES thrown in) was a Robin whose upper parts were nearly white, especially the wings and tail, rather than the typical slate gray. Its breast, however was within the normal range of pink for a female.While traveling on Stevenson Road I paused to glance at the Cornell compost piles and saw, cruising low, the WHITE-WINGED TURKEY VULTURE. Its left primaries are totally white, as are its outermost right primary and a small patch on the underside of each wrist. If this bird travels out of our area, I hope somehow we continue to get reports about it.--Dave Nutter

[cayugabirds-l] White-winged Turkey Vulture at Cornell compost

[Dave Nutter]

This afternoon (Sunday 11 Dec) on our way to not seeing the long-gone White-winged Crossbills at Summerhill, Ann Mitchell  I stopped by the Cornell compost facility off Stevenson Rd, where Nate Senner said he saw the juvenile Thayer's Gull asleep behind a Herring Gull, but not readily identifiable from our vantage. The highlight for us was the Turkey Vulture with all its left primaries white and its outermost right primary also white. It was flying low over the compost facility as were several normal Turkey Vultures. There were also several of them on the piles, but we did not see the odd one on the ground.--Dave Nutter
