[cayugabirds-l] osprey
An Osprey just flew over my office window coming as close as 15 feet probably to give a very nice view! I walked along EIR and hardly any migrants were encountered. But catbirds and wrens are in full attendance.

[cayugabirds-l] more binocular review TODAY
Hi all, First of all, thank you very much to all the folks who stopped by to test binoculars yesterday afternoon! There's lots more testing to be done, and we will be holding additional review sessions today from Noon-1PM and again from 4:30-6:30 PM — on the patio at the back of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology building at Sapsucker Woods. With more than 100 binocular models to review, we want to make sure we get as many comments and reviews as possible, so please stop by even if you only have time to test a few pairs. (Again, please let me know - offline– if you will be arriving at the Lab after 5 PM so I can make sure to let you in the Visitor Center door) We can't guarantee a Prothonotary Warbler will come dancing by above the pond's shoreline, but it is another gorgeous day — so we hope to see you there!

[cayugabirds-l] Stefan Karkuff + J Confer Big Day
Symbolically , we missed staked out brids such as Screech Owl at two locations, Sora Rail, Black and White Warbler., the Glossy Ibis, or Tri-colored Heron, Orchard Oriole at two locations, yet we were at 100 species before driving into Montezuma. Monday, 6 May, was much too early for the biggest day of the year with, e.g., no Red-eyed Vireos, no Willow, Alder, wood pewee, no Bay-breasted or Blackpool warblers. More yellow-bellied sapsuckers than I ever remember, 3 or 4 Barred Owl in Shindagin calling spontaneously where it was 39 F for a couple hours, Blackburnian, Black-throated Blue warblers, and Golden-crowned Kinglet at Star-Stanton and Cannon Rds, three Solitary Sandpipers at Goetchius with a Northern Waterthrush in the far back left from the parking lot/bridge. The beautiful Wilson's Phalarope was still associating with a Greater Yellowlegs while making me dizzy with her endless right-turn circles (our thanks to the related postings). The last bird of the day was a Rough-winged Swallow. Driving home down the west side of the lake, we commented that was a species we should have gotten. I mentioned that they nested in the shale cliffs of some of the gorges and Stefan said lets stop on Taughannoch. We were parked and out of the car and up the bridge for less that 15 seconds when one flew by, turned around and darted upward to chase an insect and at the apex of the climb, very briefly came to a stop showing his dirty throat. I don't generally like to check and run, but we were tired and we we were back in the (perhaps illegally parked) car in less than 30 seconds with our 130th species for the day! On big days, I always feel that the species we found were deserved due to skill and effort and that the ones we missed were just bad luck. Even with a date that was too early and the bad luck on staked out species, we had a really great and very satisfying day. Good birding, John -- 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/ --attachment: confer.vcf

As I was rototilling in the garden a while ago, I glanced up to see which way the clouds were moving. At that very moment my foy CHIMNEY SWIFT flew by.

[cayugabirds-l] E. Kingbird
Yesterday there was an E. Kingbird hawking insects from atop one of our nest boxes. The box's current occupants are Tree Swallows, but there appeared to be no conflict.
