[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club meeting and dinner
The Cayuga Bird Club will hold its monthly meeting next Monday, September 9, at 7:30 at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, with cookies and conversation at 7:15. This special meeting of current, new, and potential Cayuga Bird Club members will begin with a showing of slides from Stewart Park. Stewart Park is the focus of our major interpretive sign project, and this will be the main topic of the evening. This discussion and vote will be followed by an in-depth exchange of ideas and plans for current and future activities, as time allows. Rather than hosting a speaker for dinner, the Club will be inviting interested members to join for dinner at Tamarind Restaurant at 5:30 pm prior to the meeting. This is an opportunity for members to enjoy an extended time together as well as some great food. If you would like to join us for dinner, please RSVP to cl...@juno.com by Monday noon so that reservations can be made. Good birding this weekend! Hope to see you Monday!

[cayugabirds-l] FW: eBird Report - Sapsucker Woods--Wilson Trail North, Sep 5, 2013
Hi all, There was a nice variety of birds along the Wilson Trail north this morning between 7:50 and 8:50. A low foraging BAY-BREASTED Warbler greeted me along the path to the Fuller Wetlands. At one point it flew down to the ground at my feet! A bit further along was a MAGNOLIA WARBLER. All of the other warblers in the list below were in a flock at the corner of the Wilson Trail where it leaves the edge of the pond and turns north. Also in that corner was a loudly singing CAROLINA WREN, a BALTIMORE ORIOLE, a BLUE-HEADED VIREO and a couple of NUTHATCHES. Catbirds are everywhere as are Goldfinches. Nice morning!

[cayugabirds-l] Warbler surprise
Out walking with a friend this morning around about EcoVillage neighboring Plantation woodland, came across a bird party - lots of chickadees. So stopped to check it out in case any migrants were hanging out with them. I put my glasses onto what I thought was a chickadee or nuthatch and found myself looking at a BLACK WHITE WARBLER. Then nearby another flutter caught my eye and what I thought was another BW Warbler turned out to be a BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER. What a treat! has made my day. -- Stephanie Greenwood Ecovillage at Ithaca 221 Rachel Carson Way Ithaca, NY 14850 607 280 1050 -- 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/ --
RE:[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Th 9/5
I forgot to mention that we also saw BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER and several BLACKBURNIAN WARBLERS on the Wilson Trail this morning. The Romans saw a TENNESSEE WARBLER and another pair of birders reported a Northern Parula, for a collective total of 15 or 16 species.

[cayugabirds-l] Mundy during lunch
Hi all, I birded Mundy during lunch time. Birds were hard to come by. But I did see in one spread out group where I saw a single specimen of each a Magnolia, Red-eyed Vireo and a Philadelphia Vireo along with chickadees. Slightly apart from this group was a single young Tennessee Warbler. All near main entrance. A second group was seen on the tiny trail on Plantations road and the birds may have been same as I had seen a few days earlier. Here I came across, a single Magnolia, a Chestnut-sided along with a young Flicker, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, lots of Robins with young that were still being fed, one WB Nuthatch and a flock of Cedar Waxwings and a single Song Sparrow. Many of these guys were feeding on the ground. I was wondering why there are not so many fall warblers in the Mundy in recent years. I remember a few years ago it used to be dripping or hopping with warblers. All we had to do was to listen to chickadees and follow to that location. Even folks from Sapsucker Woods were coming to Mundy see the birds. What has changed with Mundy in recent times, except trees have become mature or some Honeysuckles are gone. This years I have walked Mundy even without seeing a flock of chickadees during the walk. Or is it the birds that stopped at Mundy no longer exist.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mundy during lunch
Hi Meena, you wrote: I was wondering why there are not so many fall warblers in the Mundy in recent years. My guess would be that stopping at Mundy Wildflower Garden was a tradition, passed along for a few generations of migrants, but not enforced by any really compelling geography, and now superceded by newer traditions about great places to stop for food and rest. -Geo -- 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] Sapsucker Woods
I got there around 1:30 or so and walked part of the Wilson Trail. I was rewarded by a foraging flock of warblers on the trail by the pond and past the blind and feeder. The warblers in order of appearance were Bay-breasted, Blackburnian, Chestnut-sided, Hooded, Nashville,and a spectacular look at a male Black-throated Blue. That bird was very close to me at eye level. I know there were other species there, but they were not easy to see.

[cayugabirds-l] Migration Tonight!
Just a heads-up that there may be a notable movement of birds southward from Canada and other areas to the North of us. If anyone wants to try for it, there could be a good thrush descent between about 5:40am and 6:00am, with the bulk occurring around 5:50-5:55am. As the thrushes descend from migration into nearby forests, their calling rates pick up significantly for a brief period of time (5-10+ minutes). I'm already hearing (recording) birds over Etna, NY. I've heard MANY Green Herons (kyowp! calls), a Bay-breasted Warbler (ID by spectrogram), and a nice classic Veery. If there is a good descent, I would expect there to be some cleanup of Veeries and Wood Thrushes (departing our region), but with the bulk of the calls being those of Swainson's Thrushes (which sound like spring peepers in the sky). The scattered descent from this morning held a single Gray-cheeked Thrush among the Swainson's Thrushes and Veeries. Good luck and good birding! Sincerely, Chris T-H -- Christopher T.

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Migration Tonight!
Hi all, Chris's e-mail reminded me of the morning. Today morning around 5.30 am, I heard a single call of Black-bellied Plover flying overhead and a few seep's of warblers.
