.

Pulled the first tick of the year out of my side last night. Hardly seems warm 
enough. Got it in the Danby area probably. An Ixodes, the one notorious for 
carrying Lyme disease. Tried the circling it with your finger trick.  Gave it 
five minutes, but it didn't pull out its head. The tweezers did the trick.

Ixodes is pretty easy to ID to genus with a 10x hand lens. It's the only tick 
here with a scutum (dark shiny area), no festoons (rectangular areas at the 
hind end) and an anal groove that surrounds the anus anteriorly (see the 
attached diagrams; #43 points out the groove).

[cayugabirds-l] Redpolls again!

2013-04-02 Thread W. Larry Hymes
Yesterday we had our first REDPOLL in weeks, and today there were two.  
I joked with Ann Mitchell that yesterday's bird must have been an 
overflow bird from her flock of 50.  So today she must be down to 48.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Redpolls again!

2013-04-02 Thread Geo Kloppel
I've had Redpolls non-stop through the winter, never less than about 50 in the 
neighborhood. Although I suspended feeding them niger several times, they 
stayed and ate black oil sunflower seed.

Multiple Fox Sparrows are singing now. Several Song Sparrows this morning. Wood 
Ducks have been visiting my pond each morning since it opened a few days ago.

I have never had this many Redpolls. I am feeding them the EXPENSIVE hulled 
black oiled sun flower seeds. They really like that. Guess the more you pay, 
the better outcome.

[cayugabirds-l] YB Sapsucker; Raven, other yard birds

2013-04-02 Thread Nari Mistry
This morning the first YB Sapsucker flew in and explored all his favorite trees 
in our yard. A Raven flew low circling overhead -- looking for something?
I found a Song Sparrow sitting on a stump, singing very very quietly to 
himself, practicing his song. As I waited, he grew more confident and louder, 
but not full throated yet. There have been lots of his family around to learn 
from.
The one 'tame' female Redpoll I mentioned earlier is still around. She looks 
very fat and bloated -- even in warm sunshine on warmer days this week. Could 
this be some sickness (-- or is she ready to lay eggs!) ?
I searched all around for a Fox Sparrow, but no luck.

Nari Mistry,
Ellis Hollow Rd.

[cayugabirds-l] Redpolls

2013-04-02 Thread Donna Jean Darling

Redpolls continue to come to my feeders in Newfield.   There were 10 on April 1 
and only 8 that I saw today.   Having had none here all winter, it seems odd to 
have them hanging around for the past week.   I assumed they were just passing 
through when they first appeared a week or so ago.   The cold spring weather 
must have interrupted their plans, too.

Smile:  it's contagious!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] OT O Canada

We can all Blame Canada! for this cold, bitter wind that is preventing all 
the birds from migrating to and thru here.
Maybe Dave Nicosia has a more learned view on this... I think Dave did say that 
soon it might actually warm up with some southerly winds on which our little 
friends can fly north, to that land of future, adventure and opportunity, as 
Meena put it! :-D

Re: [cayugabirds-l] BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS at Sapsucker Woods

2013-04-02 Thread Kenneth V. Rosenberg
Hi,

Here are a few more details on my hard-to-believe sighting of BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS 
at Sapsucker Woods.

I noticed a flock of birds dropping into a bare treetop outside my office 
window — raising my binoculars I saw that they were waxwings and counted 16. 
Although they were facing away against the gray sky, what was most noticeable 
was the bold white linear patch on every birds' wing. This was perplexing at 
first, as the overall coloration of the birds did not strike me as odd, and 
they all appeared the same size (so had to be Cedars. Right?). I struggled to 
make out color on the under tail coverts and finally one bird turned and showed 
its dark red under tail. At this point I knew they were BOHEMIANS (this all 
took just a few seconds), so my next instinct was to get a photo, which would 
mean using my iPhone through the binoculars. I reached down for the phone, 
began to set it up to take the pictures, but when I glanced up the flock of 
birds was gone. I did not see whether they flew away or dropped down, or what 
direction they might have gone. They initial had come in from the south or 
southeast, from over the building or from the parking lots.

I hope they stick around and someone can relocate them Sapsucker Woods 
tomorrow. I have not noticed ANY fruits around except for some withered black 
privets, but in the spring I have seen waxwings feeding on flower buds and 
petals.  It is also interesting that Bohemians, even during flight years, tend 
to show up very late in the winter (March, April), even though they really 
don'e penetrate much to the south of us in these winters.

Good luck to all who search for these gorgeous birds!

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS at Sapsucker Woods

A flock of 16 — all BOHEMIANS — outside my office window 3 minutes ago. May 
have dropped down into trees or shrubs near the beginning of the Wilson Trail 
on north side of Cornell Lab building. I reached for my phone to try to get at 
picture and they were gone.
