[cayugabirds-l] Freeville/Dryden Senegal Parrot
Birders, Someone has lost a Senegal Parrot who answers to the name "Benny" in the Freeville/Dryden area. Ringwood Road between Ellis Hollow Creek Rd and Midline Rd. This is an approximately Robin-sized bird but chunkier, mostly green with yellow and gray; the yellow would likely be what would catch your eye as it's on her belly. So if you see a hookbill out there, please help get Benny home: email djfletc...@gmail.com or call 607-229-3600 She's a friendly bird, 18 yrs old at least, entirely people oriented, but suffering from the instinct to fly higher when scared. She may answer with a whistle, a repeat, or a phone ringing noise and/or come if called to with "Benny-Benny". Thanks for keeping an eye out, vanguard.

[cayugabirds-l] yard birds
I made the most of being grounded today. When I went outside for gardening instructions, the first thing I heard was a vague warbler song from the mature spruce tree in the neighbors' yard. Forty-five minutes of procrastination yielded one second of view of a new bird for the cumulative yard list: a male CAPE MAY WARBLER, which was also new for this year for me in the Cayuga Lake Basin. Maybe I'll recognize its song now, though I still consider it vague. From time-to-time throughout the day I heard the singing again, and I stared at the tree for signs of movement. Five hours later (during which I was also somewhat productive) I was rewarded with an extended view of the bird. It crawls around the interior of the tree, neither at the very top, nor on the tips of branches, and it doesn't fly much or far, but it sure is beautiful. As a bonus in the meantime I also heard a SCARLET TANAGER singing from the trees atop the cliff across the street. After supper on the back porch, I suggested watching the spruce tree again in case the Cape May or some other warbler was still there. Laurie was only indoors briefly to get a jacket against the chill, but during that time, 7:30pm to be precise, a COMMON NIGHTHAWK flew over going somewhat erratically north east. It was high enough to be out of the shadow of West Hill, and it looked tan in the sunshine, with the white stripes near the wingtips easily visible through binoculars. --Dave Nutter -- 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] Green heron yard birds
A pair of green herons landed in trees between the house and the barn. By the time I grabbed my camera & got my sister in law off the phone, they were gone. First sighting this year; they've have hung in the same trees in past years. Interesting yard birds!

[cayugabirds-l] Flycatchers
New arrivals have been slow although orioles and grosbeaks have been numerous and grand fun. No fancy thrushes but Veery and Wood Thrushes singing steadily which is a big improvement over recent years. On the 19th we had Willow Flycatcher arrive followed on Friday by Alder. That brings the yard arrivals to 98 for the year and we've yet to see Kingbird, cuckoos and late warblers. Sadly, surrounding agribusiness level farming has extirpated Grasshopper, Vesper and Savannah sparrows as well as decimating many hedgerow species. All used to be reliable here. -- John and Sue Gregoire Field Ornithologists Kestrel Haven Avian Migration Observatory 5373 Fitzgerald Road Burdett,NY 14818-9626 N 42 26.611' W 76 45.492' Website: http://www.empacc.net/~kestrelhaven/ "Conserve and Create Habitat" -- 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/ --
