[cayugabirds-l] salt point White-crowned sparrow

2020-10-25 Thread John Bowdoin Greenly
To Donna’s list for Salt Point today I can add, seen late in the afternoon, an 
immature White-crowned Sparrow.  The bird was with the flock of White-throated 
sparrows, they moved to various areas of goldenrod and low shrubbery during an 
hour’s observing.   Lots of hyperactive feeding today- at least 4 Ruby-crowned 
Kinglets, 8 or more Yellow-rumped Warblers.  There was also a flock of 25 Cedar 
Waxwings, both immatures and adults.

Today I did not find the Siskins, nor the N Parula.  By the way,  I put the 
Parula, with four good photos, in a list I posted to ebird yesterday.  This is 
the first time I’ve posted photos there.  Today that list of mine,with the 
photos, is in "recent visits" on the Salt Point ebird page,  but the Parula is 
not in the overall sightings list.  Can anyone tell me why it’s not being 
shown?

[cayugabirds-l] Salt Point

2020-10-25 Thread Donna Lee Scott
Similar to Jon Greenly’s report from Salt Point yesterday, I had some good 
sightings there this afternoon!

2 Kingfishers; 4 sp of woodpeckers: Downy, Hairy, Red-bellied & N. Flicker;   2 
Ruby-crowned kinglets; ~4 Yellow-rumped Warblers;
 1 probable-female Northern Parula;

1 Carolina Wren; 4 White-throated Sparrows 1-2 singing a thin, high-pitched 
version of “Oh sweet Canada canada...”; 2 E. Bluebirds,

plus several BC Chickadees, 1-2 WB Nuthatches, 3-4 N Cardinals.
No Pine Siskins,
but lots of RB Gulls on Myers spit area, 120 CA Geese in vee way high, & a few 
DC Cormorants.
Also probably a round-shaped murmuration of maybe E Starlings

At home I have been graced with a Red-breasted Nuthatch!
And I thought I saw a female No. Parula on my beach a week ago. Maybe same bird 
as one here? My abode is 3-4 miles north of Salt Point.

Yesterday, we had several interesting birds at the feeder. Along with several 
siskins we had a pair of Carolina wrens, and a Red breasted hatch.This is 
the first red breasted not hatch we’ve had in over two years. I’m not clear 
where they were last year but we didn’t have any. This year is starting out 
like an excellent Feeder birding year. 

Best,
Bard

[cayugabirds-l] Grouse, Siskin @ L-P

2020-10-25 Thread Suan Yong
Took a walk around Lindsay Parsons, still plenty of fall colors. Just to the 
east of the railway tracks, from the bench at the northernmost point along the 
orange trail, a Ruffed Grouse could be heard drumming. One was drumming there 
when I visited in the spring also. Later along the red trail in the fields, as 
goldfinches flushed from the brush up to the trees, one of them made a 
different squeaky call as it flew by, and a brief glimpse of its streaky body 
before it took off suggested a Pine Siskin.
Two bluebirds and several white-throated sparrows highlighted the usual 
suspects of chickadees, titmice, downy, nuthatches, blue jays and American 
crows. Some of the nuthatches sounded like red-breasted, but I never got good 
looks.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Interesting Cardinal Behavior

2020-10-25 Thread Asher Hockett
I wonder if it could be a false nesting reflex brought about by the day
length being the same as one ~4 months from now. Like fall peepers.

[cayugabirds-l] Interesting Cardinal Behavior

2020-10-25 Thread Carol Keeler
I wonder if someone can shed some light on some female a Cardinal behavior I 
witnessed this morning.  I saw her peeling bark off my River Birch and flying 
off with a big piece.  Now if it were spring, I’d think it was for a nest.  Why 
might she want it at this time of year?
