Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawk Mt. trip

2012-04-04 Thread Asher Hockett
Carl,

While Hawk Mountain is an incredible location, the trip is fairly long and
the spring count is relatively low numbers compared to the count in the
fall. Having been to both Derby Hill and Hawk Mountain, I suggest you'd see
a lot more birds at Derby Hill this time of year.

April counts for both sites can be seen at:

[cayugabirds-l] Lone loon and Brants

2012-04-04 Thread Meena Haribal
Hi all,
On the way back from Entomology to BTI, I watched a lone loon head towards 
lake.  Just a couple of minutes ago a loose flock of 14 Brants seemed to be 
heading towards the lake.

[cayugabirds-l] Mount Pleasant Ves. Sp., Pine War (2), Goetchius

2012-04-04 Thread John Confer
9:00 Am Wed., 4 April
I got a very satisfying view of a Vesper Sparrow on Mount Pleasant in 
scope that flew off and chased another sparrow, potentially a mate. 
About 100 m East of the observatory along the graveled tractor path 
leading south, in shrubs about 20-30 m from road. Then flew into 
herbicided, brown vegetation to the west of the tractor path. 
Potentially a pair near territory. As always minimize disturbance but 
particularly in this case because it would be neat to have a pair 
nesting so close to the road for easy viewing.

10:00 Am Wed., 4 April
Pine Warbler singing in pine trees (duh) on down hill side (to the east) 
and quite close to Thomas Rd., about 100 m south of intersection with 
Ellis Hollow Rd.

11:00 Am Wed. 4 April, Goetchius
Cooper's Hawk being chased by male and female Kestrel across Goetchius 
toward pine swamp forest in the northwest corner of Preserve. Third time 
this year I've seen Cooper's flying by Goetchius plus hearing accipiter 
calling on one morning.
Plus, Meadowlark

Am, Tuesday, 3 April, southern end of Hammond Hill Rd.
Pleasant surprise to get a great view of a Pine Warbler at our back yard 
suet feeder. Stayed at feeder long enough for Karen to come up from the 
basement and get to the window to see it also (Nice). We actually saw 
the bird pick up bits of suet in its beak.

Am, Tuesday, 3 April, Goetchius
Adult, female harrier coursing over sedge meadow restored by NY DOT. 
I've found two, well-plucked duck carcasses in this part of Goetchius 
this spring. Makes me wonder, coincidence or cause.

Spring is great.
John Confer

Just had my FOS Chipping Sparrow at my feeders. Must be moving North from the 
Ithaca area.
By the way, please report your first sightings of Orioles and Hummingbirds.  
That's how I tell when to put out my feeders for them.  After they are reported 
in the Ithaca area, they show up here a week or two later.
