[cayugabirds-l] Marsh Wren near Freese Road
9:15am Saturday 24 Sept, I just got a call from Tom Schulenberg reporting a MARSH WREN on the west side of Freese Road opposite Dyce Lab. He was walking out between a soybean field (not to be trampled) and a patch of goldenrod, and he pished up the Marsh Wren several times from the goldenrod. --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! --
[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Sat 9/24
I visited the east side of Sapsucker Woods again on Saturday morning. Some highlights were the same as yesterday's - two BLACKPOLL WARBLERS under the power lines, a few MAGNOLIA WARBLERS throughout, and an OVENBIRD south of the gated trailhead. Today I also saw two SWAINSON'S THRUSHES (one along bend of road near big parking lot sign, one in the Catharus corridor with the Ovenbird), a SCARLET TANAGER under the power lines, and a ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK near 91 Sapsucker Woods Road. I think that there were probably at least two more boreal thrushes with the Ovenbird and the second Swainson's Thrush. I caught a short and distant look at one of these thrushes, which didn't have bold spectacles but also seemed to have upperpart colors more consistent with Hermit Thrush than Gray-cheeked.

[cayugabirds-l] Freese Road - Lincoln's Sparrow
I birded Hanshaw and Freese Road this morning. In the fields on Hanshaw south from Sapsucker Woods Road, there were at least 39 KILLDEER mixed among the large numbers of Canada Geese and Ring-billed Gulls. In the Freese Road garden plots, I had one beautiful LINCOLN'S SPARROW, two FIELD SPARROWS, one CHIPPING SPARROW, several PALM WARBLERS and one MAGNOLIA WARBLER. I had two BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLERS in with a flock of chickadees in the forest by the Dyce Lab. On the southern edges of the field, I had at least 10 CATBIRDS, one HOUSE WREN, more PALM and MAGNOLIA warblers, a juvenile INDIGO BUNTING, and EASTERN BLUEBIRD. A male NORTHERN HARRIER flew across the fields west of Freese Road at one point. My full ebird checklists are below.

[cayugabirds-l] American Avocet Continues
The American Avocet was still at Puddler’s Marsh at Montezuma as of 2:30 PM Saturday afternoon. There were also two Black-bellied Plovers at that location. At least Three Sandhill Cranes were found at Knox-Marcellus. There was a Caspian Tern at Larue’s Lagoon. A Barred Owl was vocalizing at Sapsucker Woods this morning around 9:30 AM (assuming no one was playing a tape!). We did not see the bird. - Bob Grosek Binghamton, New York A bee is never as busy as it seems.

[cayugabirds-l] MNWR late Sat
Just a quick note on MWR late Saturday. Not much of interest accept two mature Bald Eagles (calling to each other) in a tree across from cell post #6 (before the spillway) and 4 Sandhill Cranes at Mays Point to the right of the platform (closer than usual). It was too dark to try Puddler's Marsh by the time I left May's Point.

[cayugabirds-l] Night calls 9/24/2011
Listened for one hour this evening 1040 pm to 1140 pm...the flight appears high as skies are clear, winds light southwesterly. Not ideal. Many calls very high up and inaudible. But have had some nice fairly low GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH and SWAINSONS THRUSH calls. Numbers are as follows: SWAINSON'S THRUSH 48 GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH 10 WOOD THRUSH 12 HERMIT THRUSH 8 THRUSH sp. 21 Also had one INDIGO BUNTING and what I think was a PALM WARBLER. -- 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/ --
Re: [cayugabirds-l] 2011 Cayuga Lake Basin first records
Once again the lists are updated as of 24 September 2011. The exceptions are Sedge Wren and Long-eared Owl from the Muckrace. I don't know who observed them, which date (9 or 10 September), the locations or even if they were in the Cayuga Lake Basin, as I think the Muckrace boundary extends a bit beyond.--Dave NutterOn Jun 02, 2011, at 10:52 PM, Dave Nutter nutter.d...@me.com wrote:I finally think I have the 2011 Cayuga Lake Basin First Records up to date again.

I'm trying to update the first 2011 records for the Cayuga Lake Basin Sedge Wren and Long-eared Owl were first reported on the Montezuma Muckrace.

[cayugabirds-l] Renwick owl tree is down
I don't recall anyone reporting this, but I was surprised to find that the owl tree in Renwick woods is down. You can follow the trunk to a cavity (possibly the nest hole) now a sorry looking flooded basin. Before making this sad discovery, upon entering the woods from the north, I was surprised to see a/the great horned owl fly past to land on a perch 20 feet away, stare at me, then take off before I can get my camera. Presumably or hopefully it has or will have found a new home; but will we/should we find it?

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Renwick owl tree is down
Well, nesting in large old trees with the centers rotted out into cavities does have its downside. It's an old story. This particular nest tree has actually been used for only a few years. I believe the one before that lasted over 10 years. I hope the pair again nests in a cavity that affords a view, and that we find it and share the information. Many a Spring Field Ornithology student has been absolutely thrilled by looking at the nest through a spotting scope. And despite the throngs of admirers, the owls have been successful pretty much every year. An educational tool like that, with no harm coming to the birds, is worth its weight in gold. Kevin Kevin J.
