[cayugabirds-l] Upland Sandpiper continues Broome County This morning

The UPLAND SANDPIPER continues across the road in a field from 149 Owen Hill Road in Lisle, NY. This was the original field it was found in yesterday. The bird at times hunkers down and is hard to see. The location I put on ebird is the exact spot we saw it. If you put the ebird map in satellite

One more in Brooktondale at feeder. Yesterday, I put out meal worm larva and it ate three of them in quick succession. Didn’t see it today. Confer on Hammond Hill From: bounce-122491820-25065...@list.cornell.edu [mailto:bounce-122491820-25065...@list.cornell.edu] On Behalf Of Tom Hoebbel Sent:

[cayugabirds-l] Yard birds

West Danby enjoyed a bright sunrise. There was hardly a cloud in the sky for a short period this morning. I had Fox Sparrows singing from all directions, a couple of Hermit Thrushes drinking or bathing or foraging at the pond outlet, Wood Ducks on the pond, a Brown Thrasher rummaging under the

Yet another male PINE WARBLER, and a YELLOW PALM WARBLER, are flycatching this afternoon from the edge of Sapsucker Woods pond, near the feeder garden. Ken Rosenberg Applied Conservation Scientist Cornell Lab of Ornithology American Bird Conservancy k...@cornell.edu Wk:

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Very strange spring!

I think everyone is struggling to find any kind of food in this spring that is mostly devoid of insects. Leaf litter would be a logical place to look. Linda Orkin On Fri, Apr 20, 2018 at 3:40 PM, W. Larry Hymes wrote: > While walking through Mundy Wildflower Garden today, I

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Very strange spring!

No Fox Sparrows, but I plan to observe and listen very carefully tomorrow morning. Heard a drumming sapsucker this morning and another lone Barred Owl last evening when I was taking down the feeders. Also a lot of Flickers flushing from roadside areas and yards when driving. You can have some of

[cayugabirds-l] Fox Sparrows

I now have 2 Fox Sparrows! They’ve been here for two days now. I had one about five years ago which stayed for minutes. I don’t get great numbers of birds like you do in the Ithaca area. I’m delighted. I also just had a flock of Cedar Waxwings sitting in a tall maple. Now and then they

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Pine Warbler at suet

Same down here in Spencer: 3 Pine Warblers for the past three days AND large numbers of Pine Siskins (23 at the most). 2 Purple Finches today, a Field Sparrow showed up today and foraging Kestrels across the street!! On Fri, Apr 20, 2018 at 5:09 PM, Randolph Ross

[cayugabirds-l] Field Sparrow arrived today

I had a Field Sparrow in my window feeder today and I think it was there yesterday too, but didn't recognize it right away as I have never had one in the window. Funny. Thomas Hoebbel Photo~Video www.TH-Photo.com

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Pine Warbler at suet

I saw a Golden-crowned Kinglet on the suet at my house this morning when the sun was out. On Fri, Apr 20, 2018 at 5:09 PM, Randolph Ross wrote: > Pine Warbler briefly at suet and then seed feeder this afternoon. Strange > spring indeed > > > On Thu, Apr 19, 2018,

[cayugabirds-l] Very strange spring!

While walking through Mundy Wildflower Garden today, I came across both RUBY-CROWNED and GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS foraging together. That in itself is not so unusual. What was really strange, however, was they were foraging among the leaf litter *on the ground*!! That's a first for me! We

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Very strange spring!

Speaking of unusual feeding, I saw something new just now: the Wood Ducks who visit my pond each day, typically to dabble in the shallows or wade in the spillway, climbed up the bank and onto a large ant hill (about eight feet wide by ten feet long), where they seem to have begun poking around

Re:[nysbirds-l] [cayugabirds-l] Fox Sparrows in Tompkins County (long)

I've still got a few Fox Sparrows, too. I can't ever remember waking up to them singing in my yard for over a week before. It always seemed that a few would be present a few days in the spring and fall, and that was it. No doubt our lingering winter is to blame. They don't go far south for the
