[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park Friday - Ring-necked Pheasant
The highlight from a brief check of Stewart Park this morning was an unexpected female RING-NECKED PHEASANT hiding in the weeds and foraging along the shoreline just west of the dock in the middle of the park. Lots of Yellow-rumped Warblers and a Blackpoll Warbler around the swan pen but not much of note on the lake. Kevin and I found a few warblers at the Lab at lunch time, mostly along the woods edge at the north side of the building, including at least four Tennessees, two Black-throated Green, several Yellow-rumped, and a Blackpoll and a Nashville. -- 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] ADMIN: Nelson's Sparrow - Hog Hole
There were two eBird reports of Nelson's Sparrow sighted this morning at Hog Hole (SW Corner of Cayuga Lake), but I've not seen these posted to Cayugabirds-L. As a reminder, for a bird such as Nelson's Sparrow, although predicable in location and timing of migration, I'm sure there are dozens who would appreciate receiving notice of something like this sooner in the day via Cayugabirds-L or the CayugaRBA. If you hear of something like this, but are not the original finder, please don't hesitate to post a heads-up message to the list and/or CayugaRBA – don't worry about stealing the thunder on rarities; it's more important to get the word out.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] ADMIN: Nelson's Sparrow - Hog Hole
Chris's post brought a question to mind--I often see folks apologizing for reporting birds out of the Cayuga basin---so I myself have hesitated to report things seen outside the basin. But I just looked up the listserv rules, which state that it is for reporting sightings in and around the Finger Lakes Region and the Cayuga Lake Basin. So it seems clear that no one should apologize for reporting out-of basin birds--at least the good ones---but I am relatively new here so I could be mistaken and would welcome clarification. It's not always easy to know which sightings are list-worthy but in the above vein I would mention that yesterday I had an excellent view of an American Pipit (I followed him bobbing along the parking lot for a good 50 yards at a distance of 8 feet!) at the Van Etten Wildlife Sanctuary near Spencer, two Ravens at Park Station Lake near Erin (Chemung Co.), an adult Bald Eagle at the main beach (who also put on a nice show of capturing a fish about 75 yards from me as I was canoeing), 11 Killdeer at the beach, and last Saturday five Ring-Necked Pheasants on rt 223 east if the lake.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] ADMIN: Nelson's Sparrow - Hog Hole
To give a more specific criterion, if the observation - even of a common species - got your adrenalin or endorphins or dopamine or whatever going, it might be worth a note to Cayugabirds-L so others can get a vicarious dose. On the subject of report-worthy rare birds, I think the Connecticut Warbler at Lindsay-Parsons awhile back should've been put on the text message RBA. I hope this medium is not too out-dated. Even though this species is typically not refound, it turns there were at least 2 re-finds there. Also Nelson's Sparrow was first reported to eBird at the end of September by Chris Wood from the Cornell Research Ponds "restricted access" area north of the airport. Maybe it's not a big deal for him, or maybe he figured it's off limits to most birders, but the heads up to the listserv would have been good, I think. I've noticed on eBird a LOT of reports from this area. I wonder how restricted access is to this area? Maybe it's a good place for a field trip if we can't all get the combination to the lock.--Dave NutterOn Oct 04, 2013, at 07:00 PM, "Kevin J.
