[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard - 5/23/2011 - NO Warblers

2011-05-23 Thread Chris Tessaglia-Hymes
Today, from 5:30am to 6:30am, I did not encounter any transient migrants in the Hawthorn Orchard. It could have been that I was just there too early, but I certainly suspect that all have picked up and migrated North with the Southerly winds we've been having. The only potential transient migrant

Chris and Jessie's Sedge Wren was still in the same area on Hile School Road this morning but very uncooperative. I only heard a few chips and one half song. Lots of Alder Flycatchers were in this area, as well as Blue-winged Warbler and Nashville Warbler. I heard some very odd loud

Another FOS yardbird today--Eastern Wood Pewee. Was around past couple of years as well. Watched it drop out of the pear tree and catch insects just above the grass, then resume it's perch in the tree and sing both songs (that I'm familiar with, anyway) before flying off. Usually hear it

[cayugabirds-l] Singing Black-billed Cuckoo?

Hi All, I am wondering if anybody on the listserve is consistently hearing a singing (cu-cu-cu) Black-billed Cuckoo in our area. I would like to try to get a high-quality recording of this vocalization from this species to add to the Macaulay Library collection. If you happen to hear this

A short listen to the chorus at the Salmon Creek FLLT preserve this morning revealed the usual breeding species, and no migrants- and no Ceruleans, as has sadly been the case for several years now. I did not hear Acadian Flycatcher, but did not go up the side ravines. Scarlet Tanager E
