Re: [cayugabirds-l] West Danby Nighthawk

[Sandy Podulka]

We've been hearing them for the last week as we garden in the 
evenings in Brooktondale. I wish they would stay the rest of the 
summer. It's wonderful to know they are up there working away, and 
great fun to hear them.

More Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ominous

[John and Fritzie Blizzard]

Here in Union Springs I've had my feeder outside my kitchen window for 3 
wks.. Finally saw a female hummer, just once each day, on the 20th & 
27th.  In the past they have /always/ come when my columbines begin 
blooming & they opened nearly 3 wks. ago. I've not seen the female go 
near the columbines that are all along the back of the house.

Another noticeable lack ... _/normally/_ we have _/many/_  tree & barn 
swallows, esp. when the campus lawns are being mowed & normally I'll  
have at least 3 boxes of tree swallows & 2 of blue birds, (with house 
sparrows plaguing them.)  Thus far we have only one box with tree 
swallows & the female just laid her 5th egg 3 days ago.  This is late. 
Same with the one box with bluebirds. No wrens yet but we're seeing 5-7 
chimney swifts still using the tall chimney on the girls' dorm.

/House sparrows have now lost about 20 eggs from 3 boxes to this human 
predator. /

I fear squirrels may be getting some adult birds, eggs & nestlings in 
the trees & hedgerows.

What IS quite noticeable here, is the lack of insects, esp. with ideal 
wet weather for mosquitoes & black flies. We had a few of both a couple 
wks. ago along with midges but now, next to nothing & it's still wet. 
The fields are planted to grass, not corn this yr. so I feel that is 
more conducive habitat for insects. Alas, the insecticides have probably 
killed off the bugs so desperately needed by our feathered friends. 
Where is Rachel Carson?? Who will take up the battle???

[cayugabirds-l] Bock-Harvey and Stevenson, Sun 5/28 (and weather note for Mon 5/29)

[Mark Chao]

First, here’s a note about tomorrow’s weather and scheduling.  The forecast
calls for likely thunderstorms on Monday morning, peaking just when we are
planning our two group walks for the Finger Lakes Land Trust Spring Bird
Quest (SBQ).  I will definitely show up at the start times for both walks,
but I think curtailment or cancellation on the spot are distinctly
possible.  Please plan accordingly, especially if you have a long drive.



(If we do lose both walks, then I will hope to do an impromptu make-up
session later in the day.  Please check email around midday if you’re
interested.)



In any case, weather and everything else were ideal for today’s SBQ walks
at the Bock-Harvey Forest Preserve and the Stevenson Forest Preserve.
Again we had very strong turnout -- 25 people at Bock-Harvey, 19 people at
Stevenson.  I would guess that these were the first visits to either
preserve for almost everyone.  And again our sightings somehow defied any
expectation that too many birders might spoil the birding.  (Ken Kemphues,
Diane Morton, and Suan Yong helped enormously in co-leading both walks, as
they did yesterday.)



Our first highlight at Bock-Harvey was a female YELLOW WARBLER by the road,
pushing herself into her nearly-completed nest to custom-shape it.  There
were many other birds here as usual, including a singing CHESTNUT-SIDED
WARBLER and a pair of EASTERN WOOD-PEWEES occasionally coming very close
together to perch before the next sally.  We got to know the varied and
somewhat atypical songs of the three AMERICAN REDSTARTS in this first patch
of woods, with some sight confirmation for most of us.  Here I also heard a
YELLOW-THROATED VIREO and saw the weekend’s only YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER
before everyone arrived.



Over on the yellow-blazed trail in the old-growth woods, only a small
subset of us had fleeting sightings of WOOD THRUSHES, OVENBIRD, and more
redstarts. But I believe that everyone eyewitnessed a most striking and
dramatic moment, as two male SCARLET TANAGERS silently sized up a raccoon,
deeply asnooze with belly and chin resting on a branch, arms dangling,
about 20 feet off the ground.  Some other birders saw a female tanager here
too, but I missed her.



I think only one of us saw one male HOODED WARBLER, despite a slow, quiet,
vigilant walk through areas where I’d seen them recently.  But as we tried
to wait out one Hooded Warbler (who continues to end every other song in an
unusual explosive squeak), we got the surprise of the morning – a
BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO making short flights and taking long pauses in a sunny
patch in the otherwise shadowy woods.  Several of our group even got scope
views of the bird’s red orbital ring, thanks to Ken’s quick positioning.



Then we walked along the edge of the meadow up to the Locust Lean-To.  Here
we saw a male BALTIMORE ORIOLE perched within a body length or two of an
EASTERN KINGBIRD.  Suan also got many of our participants onto another male
Scarlet Tanager here.



It was harder to see birds at Stevenson, as expected, but we did all get
long scope views of an ALDER FLYCATCHER singing in the meadow overlook
area.  Many of us (not I) got good views of a VEERY along the initial
straightaway.  We heard one HOODED WARBLER across the stream, plus a couple
of BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLERS and BLACKBURNIAN WARBLERS high in the
hemlocks.  I was glad also to pick up the weekend’s only BLUE-HEADED VIREO
so far.  (I think that my weekend species tally now stands at 78 species.)



But I think that we’d all agree that the greatest thrills came from the
butterflies in the parking lot – ten Eastern Tiger Swallowtails jostling to
collect mineral-rich moisture from a 50-square-inch patch of some
mysterious mud, heedless of our close presence for many minutes, plus an
exquisite and cooperative female Black Swallowtail.



So whatever thunderbolts and torrents we might have to dodge tomorrow, I’ll
gladly take what we got today.  Thanks to all for two great outings!



Mark Chao

Along the west shore of Cayuga Lake we occasionally have up to three 
Hummingbirds at a time at either feeder. So far this spring (?) - we have seen 
ONE female sitting on the edge of a feeder looking away from the cottage - none 
other. Might this be a result of the late and frequent cold snaps and the 
subsequent lack of either floral food or human assistance?

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ominous

[Susan Gateley]

It might have been late for the little hummers but I've seen a couple of
the 'regulars' around here on south shore of lake ontario for two weeks or
so

also as for other bird notes  had a weird sad discovery on boat- the
starboard ventilator cowling and dorade box contained three dead tree
swallows when we commissioned the boat two weeks ago. The birds looked
quite deteriorated like not recently dead. I've never seen such a thing
before- I'm guessing they were ??migrating?? and saw the hole of the
cowling as a good place to spend the night and then got trapped and
couldn't get out??   Very weird.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ominous

[khmo]

Ellen et al, 

I'd be happy to hear of lots of hummers in the area but that hasn't been
the case this spring. It would seem they are very late as the average
arrival is 9 May and this is the first time in 31 years here that we
have only see one or two and seldom hanging around. Have refilled the
feeder three times with little to no usage. 

Let's hope they are late, overflew us or something less ominous than
this implies.
