[cayugabirds-l] birding where I go
Yesterday morning found me birding the woods after a shopping trip behind Maines and Walmart (from outside the fence and No Trespassing signs), where a Baltimore Oriole was singing brightly. There were a half dozen or more Gray Catbirds, and some audible Yellow Warblers as well. Then back home a bit later I heard and spotted a Black-throated Green Warbler, a pair of Northern Flickers, and heard Ovenbirds, Yellow warblers, Red-bellied WP, Raven, and Rose-breasted Grosbeak. The higher elevations of South Danby Road are still fairly quiet. The B-t Green was foraging in the Hemlocks, which do not facilitate a good view. -- asher -- 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/ --

[cayugabirds-l] Re: [cayugabirds-l] SFO Trip Report to Braddock Bay Area from Saturday
Thanks, Sandy, for the report. A couple additions clarifications: At the banding station we discussed the crown colors of two WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS, and learned that a single short sequence of reversed genetic material is responsible for the two color morphs - white stripes on the crown versus tan stripes on the crown. These color differences are unrelated to age or gender. The tiny genetic difference seems also to be responsible for a difference in temperament. Those with white stripes are more agressive and dominant. The other amazing thing is that the two types typically form pairs with the opposite type, not their own type. The two BLUE JAYS had slightly different wing coverts on the primaries. Apparently these feathers on the outer wing are late to molt, and birds going into their second year have feathers there which are plainer blue, whereas the bird which was after second year in age had black and blue stripes on those outer coverts and I think some white as well. It was pretty subtle, actually, and it goes to show how much effort has gone into looking at differences in birds' plumage, molt patterns and trying to glean useful information. Birds on Lake Ontario also included numerous RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS. On the docks by the former Breakers restaurant on Bayview there was also a breeding plumage COMMON TERN. The BONAPARTE'S GULLS were conveniently in breeding plumage (black head) and non-breeding plumage (white head with gray ear-spot). The male MUTE SWAN display was the classic posture with wings held up over its back, neck in an extreme yet graceful curve, and head pointed somewhat down, in what might be considered by people unfamiliar with this species to be a demure pose. In fact it is a very aggressive stance which one male took both before and after chasing another male from the part of the bay near us. The owls we sought in Owl Woods would have been either overwintering birds or else migrants following a similar path around Lake Ontario as the diurnal raptors and seeking conifers for roosting along the way. Raptors at the hawk watch site included BALD EAGLE, TURKEY VULTURE, and several very high SHARP-SHINNED HAWKS. --Dave Nutter On May 03, 2015, at 10:51 PM, Sandy Wold sandra.w...@gmail.com wrote: Seven of us carpooled and caravaning up to Braddock Bay Banding station and surrounding spots.

They stood close to each other a few times; so we got good looks and were able to compare and contrast the two birds nicely. There were also times when a ROBIN dropped by and a pair of GREEN-WINGED TEALS, so we also got to size these yellow legs as well, relative to the visitors.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Crows like toad liver
Very interesting. But I'm sad about the toad slaughter. I'm glad I've never noticed this in person! I guess the toad populations are able to survive this seasonal devastation. Great White Sharks take advantage of seal breeding season in the same way. I think the sharks eat the whole seal though. Crows are gourmands. Or maybe there's a specific nutritional benefit to eating the toads' livers.

[cayugabirds-l] Raven in West Freeville
A crow was chasing a loudly objecting Raven over what used to be a field to the west of my house on Wood Road. There are still (so far) enough open areas that Meadowlarks still occur but I never get to watch Northern Harriers hunting there anymore. This is the second time in less than two weeks I've seen and heard a Raven being harassed in the area. The first incidence was on Neimi Road partway between the two farm houses, past the experimental ponds, and the bend where it becomes Mohawk Road. That time they were flying roughly north. This time the crow let the Raven continue west into the distance.

[cayugabirds-l] N Titus Merlin nest - location correction for Fish Crow.
N. Titus x Plain x Center Sts: I watched the male Merlin fly toward, briefly perch, and fly away from a bundle of sticks in an exceptionally tall Sycamore along Center St., which parallels N. Titus and is the next street north. Not proof, but an indication of an actual, active nest. The nest might be 70-80 feet high in the western part of the crown of an immense tree, which is itself the western-most of a row of sycamores. It really seems impervious to human disturbance partially because of the height and partially because there is already disturbance from cars, bicycles, kids, and adults with barking dogs under the nest. I'd love to know of confirming observations of activity at the nest. It may well be that incubation is just starting and will last ~30 days, so feeding of nestlings is a long way away. Probable Fish Crow nest with activity today (05/06/15) is in a tall pine just east of Meadow Court Motel, not behind restaurant as I said previously.

[cayugabirds-l] Clay-colored sparrow
The clay-colored sparrow is still VERY active in the area between Stimson and Goldwin Smith. Keeping mostly to the Goldwin side and foraging along the paths. Singing and chipping regularly.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Crows like toad liver
I guess it's an element of local Crow culture, maybe even limited to particular families who have toad ponds within their territories and pass the trick down the generations. -Geo Kloppel On May 6, 2015, at 1:31 PM, Melanie Uhlir mela...@mwmu.com wrote: Very interesting. But I'm sad about the toad slaughter. I'm glad I've never noticed this in person! I guess the toad populations are able to survive this seasonal devastation. Great White Sharks take advantage of seal breeding season in the same way. I think the sharks eat the whole seal though. Crows are gourmands. Or maybe there's a specific nutritional benefit to eating the toads' livers.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods worm eating warbler
The West Danby Worm-eating Warblers do sing from within the canopy on their nesting territories, especially around 9:00 AM when the sun first breaks over the pinnacles to light the treetops. But the steep exposed habitat is very harsh and the trees seem stunted: mostly they top-out at 25 - 30 feet. -Geo On May 6, 2015, at 12:22 PM, Chris R.

[cayugabirds-l] Kingfisher-gull squabble
At Myers Park, flying down Salmon Creek at 5:30 this evening was a kingfisher with a Ring-billed gull in hot pursuit. The kingfisher flew into a tree where the gull couldn't follow. It took a swift turn came back towards the tree, joined by another gull. The kingfisher stayed put, well out of reach the gulls went back upstream to sit on a log. Wonder what caused such behavior? On another note .. Ten min. or less after I put two mouse traps side by side inside the bluebird box on the east clothesline arm on Mon., I caught the miserable killer, male house sparrow. He had already destroyed at least one bluebird egg in another box was a constant plague to the tree swallows in the west clothesline box to the point that they seemed about to abandon the nest. He had no mate but was making sure no other birds could use the box he was in. I feel sure he would have destroyed the eggs or killed the swallow mom babies just because that's his nature. Needless to say, he won't be destroying anymore eggs or killing anymore moms or babies. I am only 30 ft. from the boxes so can keep close watch. Had seen the male going in out. No other bird had been near for several days so rather than struggle to put the commercial bird trap inside on the door I used mouse traps, deciding to watch but to remove them when I had to go elsewhere. Another pr. of sparrows had built in another box. On Mon. I removed 2 of the 3 eggs there. Will soon check on the box to continue to remove all but one egg or to put 2 mousetraps in that box. Yes, it seems mean heartless but when you see as many destroyed eggs dead babies moms as I have, you decide to take drastic measures against invasives. The male sparrows go into the boxes to destroy the eggs or to peck the moms babies to death. It's a pitiful sight to see their scarred heads. Only one male bufflehead duck remains on Mill pond in Union Springs. Seems late. Saw the eagle on the new Aurora nest this evening.

[cayugabirds-l] OCWA Search Around 6:30
Tonight I and a few other student birders headed to the Hoyt-Pileated Trail to search for the Orange-crowned Warbler reported earlier today and found by Brad this morning.? Beyond the normal activity of goldfinches and woodpeckers, we heard many NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH and BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLERS singing, along with a true cacophony of WOOD THRUSHES. ?A beautifully vibrant male SCARLET TANAGER showed off his colors as we reached the egg cairn and began our search. ? We're about 89.7% sure we heard the OCWA singing...we all heard a strange song reminiscent of Nashville Warbler, mentally flagged it, but were distracted by several other small birds flitting around in the trees in need of sorting through. ?It wasn't until we decided to try playback that we realized OCWA has a song type similar to NAWA. Then we saw that in Brad's original sighting, he was alerted to the bird's presence when he heard an abnormal NAWA-type song. We tried playback focused on this song type, but had a minimal response. ?The few snippets we heard were quiet and impossible to source. Around 7:15, the resident BARRED OWLS began calling, and most activity ceased. We never got eyes on the bird. ? Given that we were in the right location, hearing the same things other heard earlier in the day, we probably did hear the bird we were looking for. ?But we're still on the fence about calling it for sure. ?Any advice? ? On our way out, we had a very cooperative VEERY sit quietly just off the boardwalk trail. ?A quick jaunt to the Wilson Trail yielded the usual suspects, most notably a singing BALTIMORE ORIOLE and a handsome male COMMON YELLOWTHROAT.? Tomorrow will find us on the road to Cape May, and we have to wonder what will show up while we're gone! ?Hopefully you all get some awesome migrants over the weekend :D ?

[cayugabirds-l] New study about bird feeding and effects on urban species
Not a new FOY bird, but a new study out in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences today shows--experimentally-- effects of birdfeeding on the dominance of invasive species over native ones. This was done in New Zealand, whose native birds have been, well, all too easily dominated? In any case, here is a nice write-up about the study. We can decide for ourselves how broadly to apply the results to the USA. The authors are, reportedly, careful to say that the results may apply differently where invasive and native birds contrast less in what they eat and how they compete. http://conservationmagazine.org/2015/05/beware-of-the-backyard-bird-feeder/ cheers, Anne -- 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/ --

[cayugabirds-l] East Hill Osprey
Hi all, Veronique and I saw the osprey making at least three trips to the fishing area and back with a fish every time. He seems to be taking exact same route while going to the fishing area and returning slightly different route on the way back. I think he is hunting in Beebe lake or might be even going all the way to Cayuga lake as there is quite some delay for his return trip. Also today morning while working in my garden I heard a Northern Parula and White-crowned Sparrow singing all the time while I worked for more than an hour. Northern Parula seemed to have moved a bit as song seemed to be moving a bit, but the sparrow seemed to be singing form the same location for an hour!
