[cayugabirds-l] Wilson's Snipe
Around 1600 (4 pm) We heard a snipe winnowing from the wet field next door. It has been many years since we had Snipe here as most of the good fields formerly wet were heavily drained and hedgerows denuded in support of factory level dairy farming. It's the 45th species of the year here. -- 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] Wilson's Snipe & American Bittern
While searching for tagged Tree Swallows this afternoon, I bumped into Derek Green out at Michigan Hollow Marsh who alerted me to an American Bittern right by the road and I was not disappointed. I watched the bird forage from about 20 yards away for 15 minutes. I then checked the field right at the end of Michigan Hollow Rd and heard a Wilson's Snipe calling in the marshy area to the north and then observed another one flying towards that same marsh as well. Was not able to located the Gallinule. I also saw a dozen Wood Ducks.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Wilson's Snipe; gulls
In addition to the two continuing Wilson's Snipe, the compost piles on Stevenson Road were very good for gulls this morning. Two ADULT GLAUCOUS GULLS, one 1ST CYCLE and one ADULT ICELAND GULL, and two ADULT LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS were among the birds sitting in the fields around the piles, all visible from Stevenson. A probable 1st cycle THAYER'S GULL was photographed by Tim Lenz at the same spot yesterday, but I was unable to refind it this morning. The two Lesser Black-backed were also different birds than the two I saw there yesterday.

[cayugabirds-l] Wilson's Snipe - near intersection of 13 Warren Rd.
Susan Newman and I, on our way back to the Lab from home just a few minutes ago, were treated to the unexpected sight of a Wilson's Snipe flushing from the east side of Warren Rd., just south of the entrance to the Northwood Apts., and fluttering low across the road before landing on the edge of the large woodlot on the west side of the road. The bird narrowly avoided colliding with a few cars, and although traffic was too busy for us to stop or make a u-turn, I presume the bird is probably still on the edge of the woodlot there. -Scott --- *Scott Haber* Digital Content Manager Cornell Lab of Ornithology Ithaca, NY *sa...@cornell.edu (607)254-1102* -- 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] Wilson's Snipe, Hanshaw Road
All, I just saw three WILSON'S SNIPE foraging out in the open in the newly-reflooded area in the field south of Hanshaw Road just west of the intersection with Sapsucker Woods Road. Decent scope views from the shoulder. Myers Point was fairly uneventful this morning, but with more loons moving. I didn't see any loons or grebes of note, but it looks like Jeff Gerbracht had three Red-throated Loons there (don't know if migrating or on the water) at lunch time today. -Jay -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology jw...@cornell.edu -- 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] Wilson's Snipe
Sunday afternoon we returned to MWR to get more views of the Marbled Godwit, even though we had plenty of photos from Saturday. We did not find the Marbled Godwit, but did see 3 Wilson's Snipe along the mudflats near the edge of the drive at the new shorebird area.

[cayugabirds-l] Wilson's Snipe by Stewart Park
Around 2 pm today I was walking back through the golf course toward the footbridge to Stewart Park. I flushed a bird from the east side of the little pond (which is otherwise completely frozen but has one, small muddy area where the bird had been) that is close to the bridge. The Wilson's snipe landed on the other side of the pond and hunkered down without moving against the snow where I got a clear and long look at him. When I went back to the Stewart Park side of the pond, he went back to the small muddy area. He stayed hunkered down, nearly invisible, by a small pipe in that spot. It would be great if someone else got a chance to check this out. It seems really bizarre to see a snipe now, but I feel quite confident in my identification having gotten such a good look.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Wilson's Snipe by Stewart Park
I watched this guy for a while late this afternoon with Dave. It was fun to see him, but it made me feel even colder watching him huddle in the icy pond. Eventually he started pumping his body up and down and probing in what looked like ice to me, but must have been mud. I stayed well back so I didn't disturb him. I wonder if he'll stay tomorrow. While I was here from 4:30 to 5pm over 1000 Crows flew over from west hill. Thanks to Deborah for posting. Gary On Jan 17, 2011, at 3:03 PM, Deborah F.
