[cayugabirds-l] Bird interactions

I eat breakfast on the sunporch which overlooks many feeders. I love watching the bird behaviors and interactions. A bluejay came in and landed in the serviceberry next to the feeders.. A robin zoomed in and chased it away. Every time the bluejay came back the (now pair of robins) would

Hi everyone, I know there were quite a few reports from Sapsucker Woods yesterday, but I did see a few things that I didn't see reported. I had 14 warbler species, including close looks at 7:40 of the BAY-BREASTED in the pine trees near the feeders. Yellow-rumped Warblers were DRIPPING from the

[cayugabirds-l] Black-bellied Hairy

Hi Folks, This is a new one for me: yesterday we had what looked just like a Hairy Woodpecker, but with a completely black breast and belly. I didn't get a good look, so can't say exactly where the black began and ended, but it was extensive. I've scoured the bird book and don't see any

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthoren Orchard

Meg and I went to Hawthorne orchard today. We didn't see much as we weren't sure where to go exactly. We walked along the recreation way and took a dirt path that came out behind the polo barns. Can someone give us a little more info on this site? We did come up with a mystery bird which I

In preparation for this weekend's SFO trip, I scouted Lindsay-Parsons Preserve this morning. Highlights were several Black-throated Green and one Blackburnian Warbler off Station Road (no Acadian Flycatcher yet). I did not look for Worm-eating Warbler. And in the fields hedgerows of the

A quick walk up on Mt Pleasant Rd this morning netted the following: American Pipits several in the newly ploughed field opposite the radio tower. There was also a flock of Horned Larks there the day it was ploughed, not new arrivals, I surmise, but simply those unfortunate individuals whose

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard - 5/12/2011 - 16 1/2 Warblers, Philly Vireo, Pewee, Swainson's Thrush

After reviewing my pictures, I realized that I forgot to mention a couple of birds: two, grunting, Common Mergansers that were circling over the Hawthorn Orchard in the pre-dawn twilight, and I had flushed two Green Herons that had been roosting in the Hawthorn Orchard. The Green Herons had

Check out this link about the Hawthorn Orchard at the Cayuga Bird Club website: http://www.birds.cornell.edu/cayugabirdclub/hawthorn.htm The directions probably need to be modified slightly, with the new addition of the two ball fields and a path to the South ball field. Northeast corner of the

A surprise in the yard this morning was a late migrant BLUE-HEADED VIREO -- 2 singing SCARLET TANAGERS, and 2 lingering a WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS were also nice, but still no warblers. On an early morning cruise behind the Ithaca airport, new patch birds included a singing BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO
