[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods Common Nighthawk

[Matthew Medler]

I took a quick walk along the Wilson Trail at Sapsucker Woods this evening (22 
May 2013). Things were relatively quiet bird-wise, but I did hear and then 
briefly see a migrating Common Nighthawk flying in a rather direct manner to 
the northwest. The other highlight was seeing Gary Kohlenberg and Alberto 
López, who had a nice male Magnolia Warbler in his sights.

Good birding,
Matt Medler
Ithaca

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hooded Warbler songs

[Matthew Medler]

For those interested in more about Hooded Warbler songs, the Birds of North 
America account describes two singing modes in Hooded Warbler: "repeat" mode 
and "mixed" mode:

Territorial males sing during the breeding season; males have several 
song types that differ in frequency range and number of notes (Godard 1991, 
Wiley et al. 1994). Males have 4–9 crystallized song patterns that can be 
divided into “repeat” versus “mixed” mode (see Fig. 3a). The repeat mode song 
consists of about 4–5 notes (rendered ta-wit ta-wit ta-wit tee-yo) and repeated 
at a rate of 5–6/min. Repeat mode songs end with either 1 
or 2 high notes followed by a lower chevron-shaped note. The other 3–8 
song patterns (Fig. 3b, c) are sung in an irregular sequence at a rate of 
10–12/min (“mixed” 
mode). Repeat mode is used more frequently prior to attracting a mate. 
About 5% of males sing an atypical song type in repeat mode, but most 
attract mates.
If you'd like to hear more recordings of Hooded Warbler, check out the Macaulay 
Library web site (www.macaulaylibrary.org), which has 76 recordings, including 
15 from New York. Particularly interesting is this long recording from Mike 
Andersen, which includes "repeat" mode singing, chip notes, and "mixed" mode 
singing. Pretty cool recording!

Good listening,

Re: [cayugabirds-l] May 19 unidentified call

[Geo Kloppel]

Yep, that's a Hooded Warbler. There are a number of adjacent Hooded Warbler 
territories down below my house, and I hear this song all the time. Sometimes 
it's just one voice in a round of countersinging, sometimes several birds will 
be singing this song, and I've even watched one bird switch back and forth 
between this and its regular song (the more common "weeta-weeta-weeTEE-o" that 
everyone knows), for no obvious reason.

[cayugabirds-l] Etna Night Flight - 22 May, Early AM

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

This morning, I started listening and recording in Etna, NY, just after 
midnight, following the passage of a line of thunderstorms and rain showers.

Predominant species for the ~5 hours of recording was SWAINSON'S THRUSH. 
Probably a good two hundred or more calls were produced in between the 
remaining rain showers.

Other species of interest that were vocally present included: GRAY-CHEEKED 
THRUSH (4), ALDER FLYCATCHER (2), BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO (12+), YELLOW-BILLED 
CUCKOO (1), SCARLET TANAGER (1), Common Yellowthroat (several calls and a 
handful in song), Yellow Warbler (one in song), Chipping Sparrow (local in 
song), VEERY (2), WOOD THRUSH (at least 2), ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK (a few), 
plus a good number of other miscellaneous warbler calls that I haven't taken 
time to ID to species.

In the process of installing my microphone I tore the medial meniscus in my 
right knee, so I think I'll be doing much more night listening rather than 
early AM birding for the rest of this spring!

Good birding!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

RE: [cayugabirds-l] May 19 unidentified call

[Meena Madhav Haribal]

Hi Chris,

Thanks! The recording has some similarity, but the bird I posted is doing 
slightly different but it is close. I found one on Audubon's bird app too, 
which was similar to Xeno-Canto example.



I do use Xeno canto and have uploaded quite a few recordings there and yet to 
do many more. I used to use this site often when it was only for South America 
years earlier!



Cheers

Meena

Hi Meena,

Here's a similar good example from Xeno-Canto:

http://www.xeno-canto.org/50435 – Hooded Warbler alternate song.

This was my best guess for species, as well, because of the timbre of the call. 
The rich ringing quality of the song in your recording is what tipped me off. 
Hooded Warblers seem to carry through the woods quite well.

Incidentally, Xeno-Canto is a phenomenal resource for recorded songs, both as a 
place to upload known bird songs to, and as a place to search for examples that 
have already been posted there.

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

I agree with Jay. I heard this song for the first time earlier this week and 
had no idea what it was until I tracked down the singer. The version I heard 
had a ringing metallic quality to the finish. It sounded very strange and I 
recorded it. When I figure out how to post I will.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] May 19 unidentified call

[Gary Kohlenberg]

I agree with Jay. I heard this song for the first time earlier this week and 
had no idea what it was until I tracked down the singer. The version I heard 
had a ringing metallic quality to the finish. It sounded very strange and I 
recorded it. When I figure out how to post I will.

Hi all,

I posted last Sunday that I heard a call which I could not recognize. Here it 
is. It was in a pine and mixed hardwood woods. To me it sounded that the bird 
was feeding in the middle layers of the woods and moving. I did not spend time 
to track it down as my friend's kids wanted to see the Hairy Woodpeckers. There 
is also spectrogram of the sound on the Soundcloud if that is helpful.

BTW, one of the kids is hooked to birds. My friend told me that early morning 
while brushing he was commenting that he is hearing an unfamiliar bird!



Any clues or suggestions are welcome.

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods additions

[Anne Marie Johnson]

A couple of additional migrants in Sapsucker Woods this morning...

I heard and briefly glimpsed a SWAINSON'S THRUSH singing softly along the 
trail between the Wilson Trail and SSW road at about 8:45.


Along the wood chip path in the power line cut on the east side of SSW 
road, I had great looks at two BAY-BREASTED WARBLERS and two BLACKPOLL 
WARBLERS foraging in the trees and flying back and forth across the 
powerline cut between 9:00 and 9:15.

[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk on Inlet; Myers; add Canada Warbler at Sapsucker Woods

[Stuart Krasnoff]

I stopped at Myers this morning at ca. 0720h.  I didn't see any migrant 
shorebirds.  An Osprey was on the snag at Salt Pt. and the expected residents 
were about including both Common and Hooded Mergansers with brood.

I also want to add a vocal Canada Warbler to Mark and Tilden Chao's list from 
this morning.  Jesse Ross and I saw the bird in the buckthorns on the high end 
of the pond leg of the Wilson North at about 0830.

Late yesterday I birded Inlet Rd. which should be pinned on the google map link 
below.  At about 1930h I saw a Common Nighthawk rock and roll up the inlet and 
off to the southwest.  I had another sighting far off to the south at about 
2030h which I thought might have been the same bird I saw earlier. Seems like a 
good spot to look for nighthawks .

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Wed 5/22 (quiet)

[Mark Chao]

Tilden and I found no epic or even modest fallout in Sapsucker Woods on
Wednesday morning (7:30-8:05 AM), but did have several rewarding birding
encounters.

 

* Two male BALTIMORE ORIOLES in a one-sided brawl by the parking lot.  One
intensely red-orange male came in and attacked an unremarkably orange
singing bird.  They plummeted together straight down into the grass, where
they remained still and out of view for several seconds.  I imagine that the
red one had his foot on the neck of the other one, or some other brutal
stationary submission hold.   The orange male immediately fled far away
after he finally freed himself.  The red male flew up to a high perch, his
dominion secure.

 

* Two CHIPPING SPARROWS copulating in the same area.  

 

* A female MAGNOLIA WARBLER that Tilden found south of the Lab building.
This was the only warbler species we saw, besides Yellow and American
Redstart.

 

* WILSON'S WARBLER and YELLOW-THROATED VIREO heard but not seen along the
Wilson Trail North.

 

Mark Chao

[cayugabirds-l] Northeast Ithaca and Sapsucker Woods

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

There were a few migrants around on my walk today, but the highlight for me
was a very cooperative MOURNING WARBLER singing and foraging in the open
with a CANADA WARBLER and a MAGNOLIA WARBLER on the "Future Road" between
Sanctuary Drive and Salem Drive. The bird was on the north side of the
trail in the brush closer to Salem Drive.

Sapsucker Woods had a few migrants on the Wilson Trail including CANADA
WARBLER, YELLOW-THROATED VIREO, BLACKPOLL WARBLERS, and ALDER FLYCATCHER,
the last of which was at the Sherwood Platform. Sapsucker Woods Road had a
WILSON'S WARBLER across the street from the Frog Barn and just to the north.

Other interesting sightings were a baby COMMON GRACKLE being fed by its
parents and a BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER singing a disjointed song on the
peninsula.

- Brad

[cayugabirds-l] Cuckoo morning

[Geo Kloppel]

As the sun climbs above the morning mist down in the Cayuga Inlet Valley, I can 
hear Black-billed Cuckoos calling from several directions, and now from the 
gulf comes the Yellow-billed Cuckoo's slow, deep "Kowp... Kowp... Kowp...".
