Re:[cayugabirds-l] Prothonotary Warblers, Yellow-headed Blackbird

Tim spotted the Yellow-headed Blackbird out on the mudflat to the left of the tower at Tschache, where it was sporadically visible among the many stick and stumps. The shorebirds are still very impressive here, with 200+ Semipalmated Sandpipers, at least 20 RUDDY TURNSTONES, 20+ Black-bellied

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Friday godwits

I didn't know at the time that godwits had been reported, but I was on the Tschache tower from 4:15 to 5:30 pm on Friday. Visibility was very good and I scanned the flats at high power many times. I did look carefully at a distant Greater Yellowlegs, but don't think I missed a flock of

Re: [cayugabirds-l] clarification of Prothonotary location

The bridge in question on Armitage Road is the large, metal, one-lane bridge over the Erie Canal. To the west of it at the end of the guardrails there is a small gravel pull-off. The Prothonotary Warblers are immediately west of here, generally one male in the swamp on the north side and one male

Hi, Today at 11:00AM the Protonotarys were about 300 feet west of the bridge on the north side. At times they would come to within 15 feet of the road. Fred Bertram -- www.pbase.com/fjbertram -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

I should add that we did observe the north-side male entering a cavity in a rotted stump about 30 ft. in from the road (and sing from the top of this snag), so they are definitely thinking about breeding -- of course it will take a prospecting female to make this happen. Ken Rosenberg

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Prothonotary Warblers

Hi, Prothonotaries were observed photographed carrying food to peeping nestlings at a nest site in a cavity in a dead tree that arced over the Canal, just south of this same bridge, in the early 1990's.* They continued to nest there for two or three years, until the tree fell into the
