[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods Warblers
Today around l:30 I birded part of the Wilson Trail. The warblers seemed to be around the foot bridge. The main group was on the path by the pond. I saw Tennessee, Pine, Wilson's Black-throated Green, Magnolia, Blackpoll, Nashville Warblers and a Redstart. There were close to 20 warblers there, but couldn't see them all because they moved through very quickly. Hope they will be around tomorrow.

[cayugabirds-l] Yellow-shafted Flicker question
I'm in the Adirondack's and am amazed at the hundreds and hundreds of Yellow-shafted Flickers I am seeing for the past two weeks. They are in flocks of 5-12+ all over Essex and Franklin counties, feeding by road sides through meadows and forests alike. Are they small foraging groups, which reassemble into large groups for their nocturnal migration? With the dampness and sandy soil up here, there are always plenty of ants to satiate them.

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Sunday 9/16/12
Went to Montezuma Today with Melissa Penta and her husband, Diego. Some birds we wanted to see were the RED-NECKED PHALAROPE, BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER, AMERICAN AVOCET, HUDSONIAN GODWITS and CATTLE EGRET. We arrived at Towpath Road and saw Ken Rosenberg. Of course, he was on the phalarope, godwits and avocet already in Knox-Marcellus Marsh. The lighting was OK especially when the sun was behind the clouds. Three down. Thanks Ken! Then another gentlemen pointed out the CATTLE EGRET in a bush on the other side of the levee in Puddler's Marsh. 4 down. Then Ken got on a distant BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER too. All 5. It really helps to be among some great birders!!! We also had SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS, SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, BLACK BELLIED PLOVER, AMERICAN GOLDEN PLOVERS. many yellowlegs. a lone LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER flew in and had a few DUNLIN with it. There were also 3 SANDHILL CRANES that flew in and landed and likely another 3 that flew by. I probably forgot some birds. The RED-NECKED PHALAROPE and HUDSONIAN GODWITS were very distant. Then we went to the visitor's center and wildlife drive. The visitor's center had a couple PINTAIL among other typical waterfowl and shorebirds. There were a few LEAST SANDPIPERS at LARUE'S with a bunch of KILLDEER. Then at the new shorebird area...there was another RED-NECKED PHALAROPE close to the road. Melissa Penta go some great pictures of this bird which she graciously shared with me(I left my camera's memory card in my computer. g.). See http://www.flickr.com/photos/davenicosia/sets/72157631552306254/ This time we got tremendous views of this bird. The bird was not far from the bend close to some stubble with a couple yellowlegs. wow. We also got the CATTLE EGRET at Benning marsh (same bird probably flew over from Puddler's) Dave Nicosia Johnson City, NY -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[cayugabirds-l] Myers, Durland, compost, Freese
Yesterday morning at Myers I noticed the first significant movement of Blue Jays I have seen this fall, with several hundred moving south along the east shore. The only other bird of note was a COMMON TERN flying north up the lake against the strong winds. This morning I walked around the Durland Preserve in Ellis Hollow. Highlights were two LINCOLN'S SPARROWS near the entrance (first of the fall, although at least three other people saw Lincoln's Sparrow this morning too!) and a male HOODED WARBLER. At the compost piles, the 2nd or 3rd cycle LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL was still present. Finally, I walked around the community gardens on Freese Road, where I saw dozens of Song and Savannah sparrows, Field Sparrow, Indigo Bunting, and two PALM WARBLERS. -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology jw...@cornell.edu -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[cayugabirds-l] Park Preserve, 9-10 am Sunday
Good morning, I walked around the Park Preserve (Dryden) this morning from 9 - 10 am. Pretty quiet most of the time, but I did come across a few migrants. Along the west edge, 2 MAGNOLIA WARBLERS; at the entrance to the trail to the lean-to, a PHILADELPHIA VIREO (quite low in the tree, very yellow, good look at the dark lores) and a BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER; and one NASHVILLE WARBLER along the Blue trail, just before it goes into the evergreens. Plus numerous COMMON YELLOW-THROATS, 3 TOWHEES, SONG SPARROWS, GOLDFINCHES and lots of BLUE JAYS flying over in groups of 2-8. Earlier in the morning we had a BLACK and WHITE WARBLER at our house. Happy birding!
