[cayugabirds-l] Sora, Thomas Rd Brooktondale

2017-05-16 Thread Tom Hoebbel
Holly and I did a trip around the lake yesterday, but made our first stop
the pond on Thomas Rd off Rt 79.  We were able to hear the Sora that was
reported in ebird vocalizing off and on.  Lots of other great birds up the
east side of the lake and at Montezuma...glad to have the Seneca County Big
day report from Ken, Jay et al. to help us to know what to look for.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: 8 May 2015

2015-05-08 Thread Tom Hoebbel
It was our first trip to Hawthorn this year and very worthwhile.  In
addition to Chris' list we heard a BLUE-WINGED WARBLER repeatedly in the NE
corner of the orchard before he arrived.  Also we say a GREEN HERON as we
arrived around 7AM.

  Good morning!

  I stopped by the Hawthorn Orchard this morning a tad later than
 yesterday.

  Ran into Nancy, Holly and Tom, and Jackie and Phil.

  Dynamic, relatively quiet, got quieter as the sun got higher and the
 heat began to intensify. Northeast corner around maple treetops seemed most
 active.

  As noted in my comment below, the hawthorn flowers are about to pop,
 which is probably the earliest I’ve ever observed. As a result, this could
 make for some very interesting birding there in the coming week or two, as
 food resources intensify. We could use some rain, though.

  Best birds were the CAPE MAY WARBLERS (early, there were two adult males
 in the top of the maple at the NE corner, which flew to the South; later,
 there were two adult males and a female which flew from the NE corner black
 walnut tree (?) into the maple treetops (in a South to Northeast direction)
 then all took flight and headed East toward East Hill Plaza), 1 NORTHERN
 PARULA (foraging in the Northeast corner), the 2 MERLINS in the spruces and
 white pines across Mitchell Street from the Hawthorn Orchard (perched and
 calling), and a single flyover COMMON LOON (for some reason, I always enjoy
 seeing high migrating Common Loons, with their distinctively direct and
 rubbery-winged flight).

  Good birding!

 Chris T-H

I too heard the Barred Owl, but thought it might have been the person
leading the kids group that was in proximity to Mark and Alicia, so now I am
thinking this was a bird rather than a human calling.  I faintly heard a
reply from deep in the dryden side forest, but only once.  While on the
Hoyt-Piliated Tail the warbler flock was in full strength and 2 YELLOW
BILLED CUCKOO's were fluttering in the treetops.

 Most of the migrants in Sapsucker Woods on Thursday morning seemed to be in
 the woods, especially on the northeastern stretch of the Hoyt-Pileated
 Trail.  A prodigious mixed flock here included at least a half-dozen
 BLACKBURNIAN WARBLERS, a BAY-BREASTED WARBLER (probable -- heard only),
 CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER, two or more BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLERS,
 BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER, many YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, BLACK-AND-WHITE
 WARBLER, two AMERICAN REDSTARTS (clearly migrants), two NORTHERN PARULAS, a
 couple of NORTHERN WATERTHRUSHES, and OVENBIRDS, as well as a couple of
 non-territorial male SCARLET TANAGERS foraging low in close proximity with
 each other.  As excellent as this flock was, I got most fired up by a WINTER
 WREN singing repeatedly by the egg cairn.

 I happened upon this flock at the beginning of my visit.  I therefore had
 very high hopes when the sun came out and I arrived at the Wilson Trail
 North with Tom Hoebbel.  Alas, we found very few birds at the wooded edge,
 except for a long-tailed bird in the treetops that I am pretty sure was a
 BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO, and singing CANADA WARBLER and Black-throated Blue
 Warbler between the Sherwood Platform and the lone bench.  Back in the
 woods, now with Alicia Plotkin, we found a few more migrants -- another
 parula, Black-throated Blue Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler, more
 Yellow-rumped Warblers, and a SWAINSON'S THRUSH.

 Alicia and I headed back to the Lab via the Podell Boardwalk as Tom went to
 the East Trail to look for that warbler flock.  Right after we parted, we
 heard four full series of hoots from a BARRED OWL somewhere in the direction
 of the road.  Maybe Tom can confirm whether this was a real bird or a person
 making mischief.  If it was a person, he or she really does a great
 impression of the species.

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Saturday?

2010-04-30 Thread Tom Hoebbel
I haven't heard any reports from Hawthorn Orchards yet this spring...I plan
to go there tomorrow morning since we had a warm day and expect south winds
over night.  It would be great to meet folks there if there is interest.
