[cayugabirds-l] Some new Thursday birds

[Kenneth Victor Rosenberg]

A surprise in the yard this morning was a late migrant BLUE-HEADED VIREO -- 2 
singing SCARLET TANAGERS, and 2 lingering a WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS were also 
nice, but still no warblers.

On an early morning cruise behind the Ithaca airport, new "patch" birds 
included a singing BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO on Etna Rd. (@6:45 if first of year), E. 
WOOD-PEWEE, another singing WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW, and a few shorebirds in the 
back pond on Neimi Rd -- 1 LESSER YELLOWLEGS, 2 SOLITARY SANDPIPERS, and 3 
LEAST SANDPIPERS.

[cayugabirds-l] Just another yard bird

[Geo Kloppel]

I was beginning to wonder what happened to the Great Crested  
Flycatchers that usually nest in my hollow apple trees. Working with  
the doors open today, hoping for cuckoos, I was really just as happy  
to finally hear that boisterous "WHREEP! WHREEP! WHREEP!" coming from  
the favored area down the hill.

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Today

[bob mcguire]

I also birded through Montezuma today, mainly to take some more site  
photos. There were two items of interest.


After checking Tschache and Mays Point Pools for BLACK TERNS (none), I  
finally ran across two of them at Railroad Road. The gravel road is  
still flooded, requiring either knee boots or a walk along the RR  
tracks.


The breakwater at Castelli's Marina in Union Springs was host to 13  
COMMON TERNS, some of which were banded.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthoren Orchard

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

Check out this link about the Hawthorn Orchard at the Cayuga Bird Club website:

http://www.birds.cornell.edu/cayugabirdclub/hawthorn.htm

The directions probably need to be modified slightly, with the new addition of 
the two ball fields and a path to the South ball field. Northeast corner of the 
Hawthorn Orchard is often most productive, as is the area around the footpath 
that leads to the South ball field.

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

Meg and I went to Hawthorne orchard today. We didn't see much as we

took a dirt path that came out behind the polo barns.

Can someone give us a little more info on this site?

We did come up with a mystery bird which I will report when I figure it out.

Thanks

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard - 5/12/2011 - 16 & 1/2 Warblers, Philly Vireo, Pewee, Swainson's Thrush

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

After reviewing my pictures, I realized that I forgot to mention a couple of 
birds: two, grunting, Common Mergansers that were circling over the Hawthorn 
Orchard in the pre-dawn twilight, and I had flushed two Green Herons that had 
been roosting in the Hawthorn Orchard. The Green Herons had been roosting in 
the Western middle portion of the Hawthorn Orchard. This is the same location 
where I suspect the group of Green Herons arose from yesterday. Some crummy 
shots of some of my sightings from today are at this link (after the White-eyed 
Vireo):

[cayugabirds-l] Black-bellied Hairy

[Sandy Podulka]

Hi Folks,
	This is a new one for me:  yesterday we had what looked just like a 
Hairy Woodpecker, but with a completely black breast and belly.  I 
didn't get a good look, so can't say exactly where the black began 
and ended, but it was extensive. I've scoured the bird book and don't 
see any other species that looks like it. The head and back were 
"normal Hairy Woodpecker."
	Is anyone studying them and dying them locally?  Is it a genetic 
mutation?  Was it really dirty? (Didn't look like dirt.)  Has anyone 
ever seen this before?

[cayugabirds-l] 12 Warblers Shindagin Hollow Today

[Evan Barrientos]

Hello again,
Shindagin Hollow impressed me once again with its number of birds. Highlights 
included a female Black-and-white Warbler gathering nest material while the 
male stayed nearby. Do they nest here? Also, a RUFFED GROUSE was heard 
drumming. One WILD TURKEY seen crossing the road. Three SOLITARY SANDPIPERS in 
the pond. 5 CANADA WARLBERS, 2 LOUISIANA WATERTHURSHES, and 1 NORTHERN 
WATERTHRUSH, all singing. 
Good birding!

[cayugabirds-l] 60 species Sapsucker Woods Yesterday

[Evan Barrientos]

Hi everyone,
I know there were quite a few reports from Sapsucker Woods yesterday, but I did 
see a few things that I didn't see reported. I had 14 warbler species, 
including close looks at 7:40 of the BAY-BREASTED in the pine trees near the 
feeders. Yellow-rumped Warblers were DRIPPING from the trees along the Wilson 
Trail boardwalk. It was hard to estimate, but I'd say about 40. Saw one male 
and female SCARLET TANAGER. A male RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD was performing his 
pendulum flight display for a female on the east side of the pond. Heard one 
RUSTY BLACKBIRD calling repeatedly at the south end of the pond. It was a great 
morning with really impressive numbers. I still can't believe I had 60 species 
in such a small area! Photos coming soon! See checklist below.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods- Blackpoll

[Tom Schulenberg]

Sapsucker Woods was pretty still this morning, way less action than the past

> MAGNOLIA, YELLOW-RUMPED, YELLOWTHROAT, REDSTART, YELLOW, OVEN, N WATER. Only

   Additions that I had include pewee (my first of the year) and a silent
male Hooded Warbler (on the south part of the Wilson Trail, on the short leg
that overlaps with the Severinghaus Trail).


Good birding,

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant birds: American Pipits etc

A quick walk up on Mt Pleasant Rd this morning netted the following:

American Pipits several in the newly ploughed field opposite the radio tower. 
There was also a flock of Horned Larks there the day it was ploughed, not new 
arrivals, I surmise, but simply those unfortunate individuals whose nests had 
been trashed by the plough (yes, I know I spell that word differently than most 
of you...!!).

Many Bobolinks in song over the dandelion-y field east of the radio tower

Savannah Sparrows - several

In the woods: Least Flycatcher, Red-eyed Vireo, Baltimore Oriole, Common 
Yellowthroat

Lots Tree and Barn Swallows

European Starling doing a convincing imitation of an Eastern Phoebe song, while 
frantically performing its wing-wave display on a nest box.

OK, now off to England, where starlings are somewhat more appreciated than 
here..!

[cayugabirds-l] Bird interactions

[Carol Keeler]

I eat breakfast on the sunporch which overlooks many feeders.  I love watching 
the bird behaviors and interactions.  A bluejay came in and landed in the 
serviceberry next to the feeders..  A robin zoomed in and chased it away.  
Every time the bluejay came back the (now pair of robins) would madly chase off 
the bluejay..  This happened at least three times.  Finally the robins left it 
alone and it was able to feed in peace..  I have many pairs of robins with 
nests in my yard.  I'm sure the bluejays have been up to no good and have 
threatened the robin's nest. 

My orioles and catbirds have been back for awhile now. They come to the jelly 
and orange feeder.  The house finches come to that feeder too.  The red-bellied 
woodpecker will come for the oranges (and suet).  The hummingbirds are coming 
to their feeder.  I still have 4 or so white-crowned sparrows.  I finally heard 
the yellowthroat and yellow warblers this morning.  I also heard the least 
flycatcher and warbling vireo this morning. I'm pretty sure they nest here 
since I have them each year.  I have a pair of house wrens using the birdhouse 
below my bedroom window.  They drove off the house sparrows which usually use 
it..

Oh, yesterday I had a flyover Coopers Hawk.  It was being escorted out of town 
by the grackles.  I have real problems getting my work done because I watch my 
birds too much.   I'd love to get someone new. 

Have a great birdy day!
