Nice, Kevin! That last shot was the angle I had on the flock yesterday evening. 
At least I wasn't hallucinating!

[cayugabirds-l] Wednesday birding

2013-04-03 Thread Marie P. Read
Checked out a few spots this cold morning looking vainly for hints of nesting.

Sapsucker Woods had a singing Fox Sparrow and Rusty Blackbirds (both heard 
only) at the Sherwood Platform, singing Brown Creepers, White-breasted 
Nuthatches nattering, seven Hooded Mergansers on the pond, plus a selection of 
the typical early spring delights. Not a hint of any waxwings when I was there 
(8:30-9:45);-((

Stewart Park had a dozen or so Common Mergansers swimming on the creek and 
flying around. I looked for Suan's Great-Horned Owl in its roosting spot, but 
it was absent.

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

2013-04-03 Thread Jay McGowan
Okay folks, let's keep a thread titled "BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS" on topic, shall
we?

Topically, these birds are still around but being very tough to see. Livia
and I had them fly over in the distance heading south around 9:30, then one
perched up in one of the trees on the island just outside the observatory
at 9:45. It stayed for about a minute, then took off back to the north and
couldn't be relocated. Please post rapidly if you see these birds so more
people can get a look at them!

Cheers,
-Jay

Hi,
I never imagined that technology could or would be harnessed to actually dumb 
down birding . The wild turkey binoc is, in my opinion, a very bad idea and 
takes most of the fun out of birding. If this thing sells it is a truly sad day 
for nature study . I only hope it is the dismal failure it deserves to be. 
Shame on Eagle Optics.

Walking into the building a few moments ago I had a flock of at least 8 
BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS sitting in the trees north of the Lab building, just east of 
the feeders, along the edge of the service drive.

They called, flew off over the building, circled back overhead, and then I lost 
them.

But, they're still here so it's worth keeping an eye open for them.  People 
with windows, please let the rest of us know if you see them!

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

2013-04-03 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal
Dave and Ken,



Ken, I hope you noticed it was April 2 and not April 1. You seemed to have 
somehow missed the date. Working too hard?



Dave as for your this comment,

"3) The Lab needs to put a few of its high-quality cameras on the building 
facing out to verify some of these crazy reports, such as fly-by Little Blue 
Herons."

Why only the Lab of O? I think all reporters of rare birds should have a built 
in camera around their eyes or head and as soon as any rare bird is seen the 
brain should trigger the camera to take pictures and pictures should be in 
focus and clearly visible. Also if possible sounds and behaviors also should be 
recorded to eliminate similar species.



OK, to report about birds, both Cardinals and Tufted Titmouse are singing right 
now outside my window!

Thanks for the details. I had a few thoughts about your report:
1) Anyone who is still at work after 5:30, who sees something wished-for but 
wildly unlikely which no one else has seen and which mysteriously disappears 
the moment they glance away... mybe that person has been working too hard.
2) Every serious birder should have a buddy on speed-dial who they can call 
without even looking at their phone so the buddy can report the rare bird to 
everyone else, while the observer continues observing until someone else 
arrives. I lost track of the Tufted Duck while texting, and I've heard others' 
similar stories.
3) The Lab needs to put a few of its high-quality cameras on the building

Congratulation, Ken, and I hope someone re-finds the birds (it will restore 
faith in your sanity).

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!

Google Glasses are the answer. Soon they will be able to:

1. Record everything you see so you can prove you are not wacky (this will be 
necessary since you will look wacky with the glasses on)

2. Project anything you aren't seeing but would like to into your field of 
view. This will help with some of those troublesome life birds. Much easier 
than pishing for hedgerow birds.

This will change birdwatching forever! (8-)

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!KENKen RosenbergConservation Science ProgramCornell Lab of Ornithology159 Sapsucker Woods Rd.Ithaca, NY 14850(wk) 607-254-2412(cell) 607-342-4594k...@cornell.eduFrom: Ken Rosenberg  Reply-To: Ken Rosenberg  Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2013 21:54:29 + To: CAYUGABIRDS-L  Subject: [cayugabirds-l] BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS at Sapsucker WoodsA 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.KENKen RosenbergConservation Science ProgramCornell Lab of Ornithology159 Sapsucker Woods Rd.Ithaca, NY 14850(wk) 607-254-2412(cell) 607-342-4594k...@cornell.edu--Cayugabirds-L List Info:Welcome and BasicsRules and InformationSubscribe, Configuration and LeaveArchives:The Mail ArchiveSurfbirdsBirdingOnThe.NetPlease submit your observations to eBird!Cayugabirds-L List Info:Welcome and BasicsRules and InformationSubscribe, Configuration and LeaveArchives:The Mail ArchiveSurfbirdsBirdingOnThe.NetPlease submit your observations to eBird!--
