[cayugabirds-l] Palm Warbler Swan Pen

2011-04-13 Thread bob mcguire
I just returned from a walk around the swan pen at Stewart Park. There  
was a Palm Warbler foraging and singing (!) near the boathouse.

[cayugabirds-l] Three Ruby Crowned Kinglets

2011-04-13 Thread Mary E. Winston
Yesterday, in the vacant lot off of Bomax Road, my husband and I saw three RUBY 
CROWNED KINGLETS.  They were foraging in the brush by a little stream near the 
tree line that separates the lot from Northwood Apartments.

[cayugabirds-l] RFI: Golden-crowned Kinglet/Barred Owl

2011-04-13 Thread Marie P Read
Hi everyone,

One of my goal birds to photograph this spring is Golden-crowned Kinglet. I 
know a couple of traditional spots locally, but if anyone has any local leads 
on where to find one consistently I'd really appreciate hearing about it. Ditto 
for Barred Owl. 

In fact, I'd appreciate information about ANY possible photo opportunities in 
the area, and as an incentive I offer a lovely print of the subject if the 
project proves successful. Thanks so much to the many people who've helped me 
out in the past.

Marie
(ps.through my outdoor speaker I can hear my lingering American Tree 
Sparrow singing as I write!)

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Spotted Sandpiper @ Stewart Park; + ~25 Bonaparte's Gulls.

2011-04-13 Thread Marie P Read
Folks who're seeing the Bonaparte's Gulls: are they in breeding plumage? still 
changing? I'm the photo editor for the bird club's upcoming book about birding 
sites in the basin, in which we include small photos of some typical birds for 
each site. I have the option of choosing a Boney in breeding or non-breeding 
plumage, so I wanted some input.

Thanks
Marie

Gulls.

Scoping from East Shore Park around 7 AM I saw a flock of about 20 Bonarparte's 
Gulls staged in a line off the west shore north of the lighthouse.  I saw a few 
more stragglers.  None of them lingered long in the water, soon taking off to 
the north.  There were Scaup, Bufflehead, and Common Mergansers scattered about 
as well.  I hurried over to Stewart Park to try to get a better look at the 
gulls.  I parked in front of the tennis courts and immediately got distracted 
by what looked like a Spotted Sandpiper flying along the shore.  I verified 
this id when I saw it  again spotted and bobbing while working its way east on 
the thick carpet of wrack.  Also heard a fish crow before I left.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Cliff Swallow, Stewart Park

2011-04-13 Thread J. Gary Kohlenberg
I stopped at the Swan Pen late today to check out the action. I found the CLIFF 
SWALLOW and the other assortment Jay posted. The TREE SWALLOWS were up to ~160 
individuals.  I also enjoyed the nice close viewing with only light rain.
The biggest surprise was my first singing PALM WARBLER. Beautiful. I'm glad he 
was still in musical form from this morning.

No sign of a Palm Warbler, but there is a nice CLIFF SWALLOW foraging with
