Hi everyone,

I have received several requests for more information about where the
parking area is that is close to the Black Diamond trail above the Cayuga
Nature Center. It is on Houghton Road, off Garret Road west of route 89. If
you type 2055 Houghton Rd into a mapping app, it should take you to that
u-shaped parking area that also has access to Cayuga Nature Center trails.

[cayugabirds-l] Warblers!

2020-05-14 Thread Diane Morton
Inspired by Dave Nutter's post about warblers along the Black Diamond
Trail, Ken and I decided to walk a section of the Black Diamond trail that
is accessible from a parking area above the Cayuga Nature Center. Right
away we started seeing/hearing yellow warblers, catbirds, yellowthroats and
song and field sparrows. But also a gorgeous Cape May warbler in a tree
right at the parking area.
On the Black Diamond trail we ran into our first large mixed warbler flock
of this spring. Lots of yellow-rumps, but also Nashville, Black-throated
Green, Northern Parula, Redstart, Chestnut-sided, Palm and Magnolia
warblers busily foraging. So fun to see them flitting through the trees,
though they were mostly backlit from our vantage point.  We also heard our
first Red-eyed Vireo of the year, heard a drumming Ruffed Grouse and saw a
Veery. On our way back we had very close views of 2 Northern Parulas
foraging for insects in the new leaves of a small maple! In all, we found
54 species on our 2.6 mile round-trip walk.

Good birding,
Diane Morton

[cayugabirds-l] Warblers at Brookton Cemetery 8am

2019-05-04 Thread Susan Henne
After reading so many exciting bird posts in the last few days, I knew I
had to go out looking for warblers this am.  Right off of Lounsberry Rd
(Brooktondale) is the Brookton Cemetery which rises above rushing 6 Mile
Creek and is framed by a mature deciduous  forest.  High up in the maples I
saw 3-4 Golden-winged Warblers, 2 Hooded Warblers and several Yellow-rumped
Warblers.  On the way home, along the creek a Scarlet Tanager was feeding.
And to top off my lucky morning, a Cape May warbler was feeding in the
Norway Spruces in my yard.  Still is at 3:15pm.

[cayugabirds-l] Warblers at Stewart Park!

2016-04-24 Thread Sandy Wold
I walked through Renwick Woods today and saw a warbler up high in a tree
with yellow belly and black streaks, but forgot the facial markings when I
saw the stunning Yellow-rumped Warbler later at Fuertes.  It might have
been a Magnolia Warbler, but I am not sure.  Renwick was loaded with
robins, starlings, grackles, a few ducks (Mallards?), and one Red-winged
Blackbird.  There was also a Red-bellied Woodpecker, a Northern Flicker,
and a Downy Woodpecker.

Along the inlet were many geese, and a pair with four goslings!  Isn't it
early for goslings???   They looked to be a few weeks old.  The tribe of
cormorants is back (about 37 in the trees at Jetty Woods and another 20+
out on in the water.  As I walked into Fuertes, I was greeted by a
Yellow-rumped Warbler with stunning blue slate, black, yellow, and white
colors in the shrubs and gave me close views with lots of calling.  I
thought there were four of them, but heard only one calling and figured
that there were only two circling around me.  A Song Sparrow was up high,
and I flushed out two small shorebirds.  They were smaller than killdeer,
not calling, and had one white stripe on the wings and no strong markings
otherwise.

Lastly, there were 4 Hooded Mergansers, one male displaying vigorously and
3 female.  On the way home, I heard the kingfisher zip by, heard and saw
six swifts hunting furiously and high over Fall Creek and what I think
might have been one Bank Swallow (lightness under the chin).

Hi All, 
Ton and I are in Austin,Tx where it has been unusually cold and rainy. Today it 
is just above freezing and sleeting. I am seeing Yellow-rumped and 
Orange-crowned warblers eating pecans that have fallen to the ground and been 
crushed, so the meat is available. A resourceful solution to the absence of 
insects in this cold weather.

[cayugabirds-l] warblers, Ithaca South Hill

2014-05-10 Thread Dave Bulatek Teresa Wagner Bulatek
male and female Blackburnian warbler
male and female Yellow-rumped warbler

Both pairs of birds were really working on the catkins of the river birch near 
our deck.  One went briefly to the mixed-seed feeder on the deck but left as 
soon as a goldfinch arrived.

We have not seen these before, though, of course, they may have been here many 
times.  That's always an interesting question we have - is a first for us also 
a first for the birds visiting our yard?  We assume we've just never found them 
before.

[cayugabirds-l] warblers; crows; raptor; musings

2013-11-16 Thread Dave Nutter
At noon today I saw the YELLOW WARBLER by the southwest corner of the Wegmans parking lot. It flew up from tall thick weeds into some saplings along with a small flock of HOUSE SPARROWS, one of which chased it a bit. On the west side of the Wegmans building in saplings along the bank of the relief channel I saw at least 2 MYRTLE YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, which flew across the channel and out of sight, probably to other trees nearby. There were at least 2 other warbler-sized birds with them which I did not identify. Although I did not see the Audubon's Warbler today, it may still be around, and the Myrtles which I saw well there today were different enough from the bird I saw not-as-well on Thursday to further convince me that Thursday's bird was the Audubon's. As I walked along Brindley Street I heard  saw a pair of FISH CROWS in a tree on the point of land north of the Brindley Street bridge. At 4pm while Laurie  I sat on a park bench along the Cayuga Waterfront Trail just north of the NYS-89 bridge, we saw a fast brown bird fly past us and across the Flood Control Channel, nearly level and aiming at the bushes alongside the Boatyard Grill. It was a hunting MERLIN. I didn't see any House Sparrow movement there as I followed the falcon in my binoculars, but the raptor turned aside, flew south a short distance, then came west across the water again and began rising. It kept climbing and going west until I lost it beyond the tallest treetops of the hill behind us. This prompted several thoughts: (1) Maybe the Merlin is a local bird routinely checking the House Sparrow colonies. (2) I'm glad I'm not a small bird. Every time I see a hunting Accipiter or Falco it takes me a second to realize what's going on, a second in which I'd be nailed. And I've got the easy side view. It's terrifying to think of needing to recognize the threat of such a bird as it came head-on. Of course as a prey item, I probably wouldn't spend time trying to ID it to species... (3) The visual processing which birds do is mind-boggling in order to (a) fly and avoid obstacles or alight on a perch, (b) find their way - at various scales, (c) recognize and interact with members of their own species or flock, (d) find and grab food - aerial plankton and swimming fish being some of the most impressive targets, and (e) recognize and evade threats such as raptors. Often they are doing several of these jobs simultaneously or switching in rapid succession. --Dave Nutter

[cayugabirds-l] warblers and cormorants

2011-06-05 Thread Dave Nutter
This morning I spent a couple hours in the woods between the Cayuga Medical Center and the Black Diamond Trail (the railroad grade above NYS 89 in the Town of Ithaca. I was searching for a species which I'd found there in previous years, and I'd about given up when I finally heard a HOODED WARBLER singing. It changed location frequently and covered a huge swath of forest. If I hadn't seen it fly several times I might have thought I was hearing males from several territories sequentially. At one point as it sang near a stream a LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH began singing close by, and I suspect the Hooded Warbler's loud and a bit similar song set it off. I hadnt't seen or heard any Louisiana Waterthrushes beforehand. A (late?) BLACKPOLL WARBLER sang from Locust Trees near the birding kiosk in Cass Park yesterday evening and this morning. Several DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS are still in our area. --Dave Nutter

[cayugabirds-l] warblers

2010-05-01 Thread Sydney F Penner
In previous years I haven't had much luck seeing migrating warblers 
around my home, so I headed out early this morning to hunt some down. I 
didn't find quite as many as I hoped, though a CERULEAN WARBLER at Jetty 
Woods was exciting. Within five minutes of getting back home, however, I 
had stunning eye-level views of MAGNOLIA, NASHVILLE, and BLUE-WINGED 
WARBLERS.

[cayugabirds-l] Warblers this morning

2010-04-30 Thread Jeff Gerbracht
On stepping outside this morning, I was greeted by a singing
Blackburnian Warbler, mixed in with some Yellow-rumps and Blue-headed
Vireos.  And a short while later, I heard my first Ovenbird of the
year.  Things certainly started coming back last night.

[cayugabirds-l] Warblers

2009-09-19 Thread Alm9413
This afternoon, I was visiting some friends on Hunt Hill Road (Ellis Hollow 
 way).  As I was leaving, I saw warbler activity.  I grabbed the binos  
from my car and found 2 male Black-throated Blues and two Cape May  Warblers.  
I sure there were more warblers passing through, but I got there  too late. 
The Cape Mays I saw were still quite yellow. 
Best,  Ann Mitchell
