[cayugabirds-l] Pine Warbler, Beebe Lake

2014-04-08 Thread Jay McGowan
A PINE WARBLER was singing along Forest Home Drive at the east end of Beebe
Lake this morning. David Weber reported it from earlier this morning.
Several BUFFLEHEAD and a pair of REDHEADS were on the lake. Phoebes and
juncos were singing, and a tailless SWAMP SPARROW popped up in response to
pishing. Stewart Park was quiet.

Also, Chris had a Louisiana Waterthrush at Monkey Run this morning.

[cayugabirds-l] Dryden Lake

2014-04-08 Thread Anne Marie Johnson
Spent about 45 min. at Dryden Lake late morning, between showers. I scoped 
from the first fishing platform and walked the trail along the lake. 
Highlight was a COMMON LOON plus a nice collection of ducks. See list 
below. Also saw an OSPREY on a snag close to the road in the wetland along 
38 just outside of the village.

[cayugabirds-l] Mystery Mallard - Stewart Park today

2014-04-08 Thread Jason Huck
Hi All,

 

I am reaching out to the odd duck (although this one isn't overly odd)
experts to identify this mystery mallard that I discovered at this morning
Stewart Park along the creek (golf course bank).

 

Domestic? Call duck?

Hybrid? If so with what?

 

The face struck me at first as gadwall, but none of the other features seem
to be there. Not much American Black Duck either. 

 

Here is some digiscoped video and photos:

Thanks,

Jason Huck

[cayugabirds-l] Fw: Ithaca breeding goose investigation

2014-04-08 Thread Bill Evans
Sometimes it goes by so fast you hardly have time to reflect\

Tons and tons of potential reflection swept under the bridge\

So I inject the following peculiar observation\

I’m sitting in my office across from Agway working late tonight, ~7:45pm, and I 
hear calls of geese and look out the window\

I see two geese, presumably a pair, flying low (100 ft agl) circling back 
south, I think toward the pair’s nest site\

The question arises: Where are these geese going and how many such breeding 
pairs are there in the Cayuga Inlet floodplain?

I’m guessing 10 pair, and I mull over lunchtime walks looking for gosslings in 
a month or so\

Will report back with findings\

Welcome any assistance or reports\

Bill E

p.s. this is not like counting earthworms crossing the sidewalk in the rain.
