[cayugabirds-l] Northern Mockingbird back

2012-03-13 Thread Pelkie Chris
My FOY NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD reappeared across the street in the neighbor's tall pine (I have a feeling he's been here before, in past years) singing for the first time this year in the pre-dawn chorus. My casual observation was that he was doing a set based on more northerly species: in fact,

Shawn Billerman and I had a single TREE SWALLOW foraging out over the lake from Stewart Park. Not too much else of note. An EASTERN MEADOWLARK was in the top of one of the tall trees along the shore, three PIED-BILLED GREBES were along the east shore, and a distant RED-THROATED LOON was still

At last it is really woodcock season in Mecklenburg. At least 4 individuals were peenting and skydancing when I went out at 6 am, audible from every side of our house. I heard them last evening in the rainy dusk, and they may have continued all night under the bright moon. Anyone who lives

Dave's post reminded me that I heard numerous flocks of Blue-winged Teal and other waterfowl over the high terrain of Danby during the windless quietude Sunday night. Notable in the mix was an emotionally-stirring flock of Long-tailed Ducks. Turn on, tune in, bird out, Bill E --

Silly me, thinking maybe I'd found a new species for 2012 for the Cayuga Lake Basin. I was about to ask whether the Danby migrants were before or after midnight so I'd know what date to write when I remembered to check eBird. Not only had one of my pair of Blue-winged Teal (I saw a male and female

I watched 55 Turkey vultures pass over my yard in two groups, while I was working on bush trimming. They looked very beautiful in lovely blue sky. I also saw a Sharp-shinned hawk circle around and fly rapidly north. Cardinal has been singing regular song last two days! Meena Meena Haribal
