[cayugabirds-l] Seeking two lifers: Rusty Blackbird, Ross's Goose
With the spring migration now starting to flow, would like help in locating two lifers that we have missed over the years. Should anyone see Rusty Blackbirds in the Ithaca area or north of the city would be grateful. Second, in seasons past individuals has noted one or two Ross's Goose in flocks of literally thousands of Snow Geese. First, how does one find this particular white goose amongst thousands of others? In any case, should these two show up in the area, please notify either to the list or personally. Additionally, if someone is going out for these birds, and if it is not a bother, would live to tag along.

[cayugabirds-l] Beebe Lake
I stood at the overlook in the SE corner of Beebe Lake at Cornell this morning for about a half hour to see what might come by. A RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD was singing from down below and a KILLDEER and BELTED KINGFISHER made some noise, but went unseen. A TURKEY VULTURE lazily circled over the lake, and while I was following it a TREE SWALLOW jetted through my field of view determinedly heading north. One adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL made a brief stop on the ice before heading NW. The only waterfowl on the lake were a pair of COMMON MERGANSERS and a few CANADA GEESE. My first woodchuck of the year stumbled out of a hole near the overlook in a daze before taking a control slide (or maybe it was just a clumsy rodent) down the snow covered slope to lake level.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park, 11 March
Cayugabirders, I visited Stewart Park this afternoon between 3 and 4:30 and also had a nice variety of species. While many of my counts are similar to those Chris et al. made earlier, I did note a few big differences in the afternoon. These were a big flock of 74 Hooded Mergansers near the Fall Creek outlet, an adult Golden Eagle circling the waterfowl flock, and 6 Lesser Black-backed Gulls on the ice. Given some of the bigger duck numbers reported in the morning, I suspect there was quite a bit of turnover throughout the day.

[cayugabirds-l] trills
My ear just got caught by a trill coming through an open window on the east side of Goldwin Smith Hall that sounded rather different than the juncos trilling at my house. On the other hand, it did sound very much like the recording of a Chipping Sparrow trill that I just listened to. I wasn't able to visually locate the bird. So, depending on your predilections, you can interpret all of that as a possible Chipping Sparrow on Cornell's campus or as an illustration of the difficulty in distinguishing those two species by sound. I'm inclined towards the latter. Though there was a sighting of a Chipping Sparrow in Ithaca two years ago to the day ...

Having been away and missing the first spectacular push of spring migration over Ithaca, I was eager to get out at lunchtime for some sky-watching today - with Tom Schulenberg. We were surprised how quiet and empty the sky was at that time, but we did see 2 dark-morph ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS circling together over the Lab of Ornithology, plus a male HARRIER, 2-3 RED-TAILS, a few small flocks of SNOW GEESE, and a KILLDEER.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] crow behavior
I think in general many animals behave in similar manner with their preys. Cat plays with the mouse till it is dead, actually it is not game for cat but it is making sure the mouse is killed. Here is a link to a similar behavior by a Great Egret at Bensten Rio Grande State park in Texas. http://picasaweb.google.com/mharibal/TexasGreatEgret#5447545396804630162 I have some video footage too. The egret initially seemed little lost as to how to handle this creature or it was considering if the creature is dead as the smart rodent just clung limply there. The egret tried to kill it by beating it to the ground and the rodent clung to its life and beak of the egre. Finally rodent got away. Egret was not very happy with itself in the end.

[cayugabirds-l] Oh what a sight!!
There is nothing I can add to what Sue Norvell Lee Ann Van Leer have said about the tremendous numbers of Snows. I went to the Refuge the mucklands today tho' the haze was horrible for looking with the scope, the view of tens of thousands of birds was astounding. On Armstrong Rd. I watched 3 adult BALD EAGLES. Two perched close to each other in a tree to the left of the nest while another left the nest tree soared round round, higher higher left my view. In a corn field along Armstrong was a great flock of male REDWINGS. Also saw my 1st two KILLDEER 1st TURKEY VULTURE near there. From the upstairs viewing deck at the MNWR visitor's center I was able to see an adult BALD EAGLE moving around on the new nest in the woods on the west side of the main pool. Another was flying beyond there. Well over 100 swans were on the north end of the main pool along with the 1000's of Snows other feathers! While the Mill Pond here in Union Springs only had 2 varieties of ducks I was surprised at the numbers of BUFFLES, esp. females .. the most I've seen there in several yrs. ... more than a dozen. Usually we see one female for every 4 or 6 males. Of course the males were really showing off, or whatever it is called, to impress the females or intimidate the other males. North of Cayuga RR bridge towards Mud Lock were thousands of waterfowl, including several hundred swans. I chuckled to see dozens of snow geese /or swan DECOYS right along the east edge of the ice behind one of the cottages. Saw lots more gulls today. My neighbor's car has a huge splat on the top so YUP! the gulls are back. Yes, the big migration push was definitely yesterday. Today I saw nothing but the usual Canadas going out from the lake to feed then back but they were quite vocal. Rejoicing, maybe? I know I did as I enjoyed the warm day, totally realizing that nasty weather isn't over. The robins always have to have snow on their tails before spring really comes.

From East Road at Knox-Marcellis Marsh, saw thousands and thousands of snow geese. the fields all around east road to the savannah muckllands were white with snows. also had many pintail, ring-necked ducks, american widgeon, along with canada geese from east road . At the Savannah Mucklands from the potato building had probably 100 to 200 hundred thousand snow geese. also heard horned lark singing. there were also waterfowl mixed in with the geese including many pintail, ring-necked ducks, mallards, and black duck. the snows took off and it was a spectacle. there was also a fair number of tundra swans in this area. On the way back along Lower Lake road west side of Cayuga Lake, there was another very very large raft of snow geese probably another 100,000 or more.In addition, there were hundreds of redheads, lesser/greater scaup, ring-necked ducks, canvasback, bufflehead, american widgeon, and gulls.
