[cayugabirds-l] Acadian Flycatcher at SSW
I found an Acadian Flycatcher in Sapsucker Woods this morning on the Hoyt-Pileated Trail (East side of SSW Rd) in the vicinity of the junction with the trail to the powerline cut. I never saw it, but it sang fairly often, and Merlin confirmed the song several times. It was singing a song that I find similar to Alder but higher, faster, and sharper. Also, there was an Alder Flycatcher singing along the powerline cut closer to the road.

[cayugabirds-l] Acadian Flycatcher
On a quick drive through Michigan Hollow this cool morning I found one Acadian Flycatcher, singing in one of the usual locations, familiar since Karl David's day.

[cayugabirds-l] Acadian Flycatcher
I found a singing ACADIAN FLYCATCHER this morning in Michigan Hollow, occupying the same territory as last year. Also in the vicinity: Winter Wren, Least Flycatcher, Canada Warblers, Blackburnian Warblers and American Redstarts, among many others. In the Michigan Hollow marsh an American Bittern was pumping out its amazing oong-KA-chunk every minute or so. While I stood at the roadside enjoying that, I heard a Tennessee Warbler sing. The road is lined with blooming hawthorns and wild apples just there, and it was easy to find the Tennessee foraging in a hawthorn, but the same tree also held at least 6 Bay-breasted Warblers! While I was admiring them, up popped a Swainson's Thrush to give me a beautiful view. Wish I could have stayed for more, as the road is lined with blooming trees for a good distance, and I could hear other Tennessee Warblers singing. Maybe check out some spruces too... But time marches on. Would love to visit the hawthorn thickets just SW of Jennings Pond - that's actually in the basin! -Geo -- 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] Acadian Flycatcher still
This morning at 6:30 it was just 50 degrees F. in Michigan Hollow, but an Acadian Flycatcher was still singing in the usual spot (42.29919N 76.48335W). The road just there is about 16' above the stream, so the bird is often below you. -Geo Kloppel -- 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] Acadian Flycatcher
Between 7:00 and 8:15 this morning I got an 8 Tyrannid sweep: all the flycatcher species that breed in the West Danby area. I started with Eastern Phoebe on Tupper Road. I found Alder Flycatcher and Willow Flycatcher singing in close proximity along Hillview Road near the old Landstrom landfill, and a pair of Eastern Kingbirds in the snaggly swamp there. The next stop was for Acadian Flycatcher along Michigan Hollow Creek, near the _southern_ crossing of the Abbott's Loop Trail (not Diane's Crossing). This location has hosted Acadian Flycatchers since Karl David's days at least, making it the oldest still-active territory I know of in the Emerald Necklace. And it's a drive-up bird! (JOOB though; more precise location on request). A little farther up the creek I found Least Flycatcher. Then along the edge of the big sedge marsh I found Great Crested Flycatchers, and finally Wood Pewee at the easternmost extremity of the L-P Preserve, south of Station Road. There used to be Acadians there, but to the best of my knowledge they disappeared several years ago. When I got home my own pair of Great Crested Flycatchers was very talkative. -Geo Kloppel -- 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] Acadian Flycatcher
An ACADIAN FLYCATCHER was singing in its usual gorge on Ford Hill Road in Lansing this morning. We also had Louisiana Waterthrush, Northern Parula, Blackpoll Warbler, Tennessee Warbler, Hooded Warbler, and Magnolia Warbler there. Myers Point was pretty quiet and lake levels have drastically reduced shorebird habitat there. A male ORCHARD ORIOLE was singing from the tall spruce as you cross the railroad tracks, mostly in adult plumage with chestnut breast and belly but with greenish sides, so perhaps a second-year male. Not too many migrants around Sapsucker Woods this morning either, but I did hear Blackpoll, Tennessee, Magnolia, and Wilson's warblers, and Brad had a Canada Warbler at the powerline cut. A YELLOW-THROATED VIREO was being very vocal on the Wilson Trail, and the immature male ORCHARD ORIOLE is still singing constantly from the same spot as yesterday. -Jay -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology jw...@cornell.edu -- 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] Acadian Flycatcher - Armitage Rd
To defend my (granted slight) reputation as an ear-birder, the birds John and I encountered yesterday evening about 100 yds west of the green bridge over the barge canal were (I feel strongly) Acadian Flycatchers. We arrived there around 7:30 PM and spent about a half hour walking up and down the road, listening for Prothonotarys. We finally focused on a loudly-calling bird on the north side of the road, probably 50 ft back in the woods. At first we thought it might be the Prothonotary and so we continued to look closely for any movement. We never saw the bird, but soon began to hear the distinct pit-za of an Acadian. That was followed soon by two other birds singing similar songs. They continued to sing as we were leaving around 8:30. I have recently encountered the singing Acadian on Station Road and, to my ear, the song was the same. Of course I'd be happy to have confirmation from someone with more experience - or a suggestion of what else we could have been listening to.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Acadian Flycatcher - Armitage Rd.
I was at the Prothonotary spot Tuesday for a while, and don't recall hearing Acadian Fly. Eastern Phoebe has fooled me in the past, where I was sure I was hearing Acadian but tried to get a look just to see it was an Empid but found a Phoebe instead. Later I discovered the sound was on the Stokes CD at 0:26 and 0:29 sec. into the E. Phoebe recording. When coming from a ravine where either species might be expected, it sounds very much like Acadian IMHO. Having said all this, there was an Acadian at Tifft NP in Buffalo that held territory in a marshy Willow Fly type habitat. The bird was found by Dean DiTomasso in May 2010 and I believe continued calling into the summer months. I checked on it periodically and it was obviously holding territory in unexpected habitat but probably never found a mate. So.I'm all up for their being an Acadian at Armitage Rd! I also looked for the Yellow-headed Blackbird on Tuesday between 10-11am and 2-3pm but saw no signs. Back at Armitage I heard a Black-billed Cuckoo singing what I would consider the characteristic song. I'll add to the Mississippi Kite rumors - at 1:15pm Wednesday I saw a distant bird from Derby Hill that I took to be either Peregrine or MK. It was just too far and too briefly seen to say for sure given my limited experience with MK. Over at Oswego Harbor there was a strong cold wind and about 1000 gulls (80/20 Ring-billed to Herring) but I could find no rarities.
