[cayugabirds-l] Bird walk. SSW. Least flycatcher, Common Yellowthroat

[Linda Orkin]

I invite everyone to enjoy this very nice report from this morning's walk at 
SSW. Ken is new to our leader group, but an obvious asset.

A reminder to all, bird walks at Sapsucker Woods happen every Saturday and 
Sunday. Led by a wonderful group of bird club/CLO volunteers.

See below. And enjoy. 

Linda Orkin
> 
> This morning was overcast and cool as I lead a group of about 10 people into 
> Sapsucker Woods. Most of the action came early at our first stop - the Owens 
> Observation Platform and nearby area. We all got good looks at Yellow Warbles 
> (male and female), Yellow-rumped Warblers, Warbling Vireo and a Least 
> Flycatcher. An up close look at a Ruby-crowned Kinglet in the shrubs along 
> the start of the Wilson trail by the pond, and distant Wood Ducks, both on 
> the water and  two of them at the top of the snag in the pond. At the 
> Sherwood Platform we pick up a singing Swamp Sparrow, a Kingfisher and a 
> Great Blue Heron working on getting a big fish down its gullet. Reversing our 
> path, we heard Common Yellowthroat and Eastern Towhee between the pond and 
> Fuller Wetlands.
> 
> On a more personal note, I saw my FOY Scarlet Tanager singing form atop an 
> oak tree in my front yard on my way out to the Visitor Center. I had a great 
> time and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Thank you for letting me be a 
> part of this.

[cayugabirds-l] Great Horned Owls @ Jetty Woods

[Suan Hsi Yong]

This morning our SFO group went to Jetty Woods to admire the Great Horned
Owl and two fledglings reported earlier by Dave Nutter. From the pump
station, go past the big puddle about 20 yards, look to the right for a
large fallen log right next to the trail. That log log points approximately
in the direction of the tree where the fledglings were sitting this
morning, high up in a distant tree.

Earlier we went to Hawthorn Orchards, which was muddy and pretty quiet,
though we did see two silent pine warblers, a probably least empid, and a
wood thrush singing high in a lone tree out in the relative open away from
the woods.

[cayugabirds-l] (Released?) quail in yard.

[John Confer]

In the last 10 days Karen and I heard a quail once and several days later saw 
it once at our feeder. Given the many hours we watch, it does not make many 
visits to our feeder or we would have seen it more often. We live on the south 
end of Hammond Hill. I wonder if anyone knows who may have reared and released 
the bird near us? I think Steve Kress did this some time ago, but his house is 
nearly 4 miles from our house. Just curious.


John Confer


PS Since I'm virtually certain this is a released bird, I didn't add it to our 
yard list.

[cayugabirds-l] hummer

[Bill Mcaneny]

About 1:30 a male Ruby-throat showed up at the feeder that has been primed
for a week.  Shirley's work has not been in vain.

Now, where is the Oriole?  The orange slices await.

HI all,

A male Scarlet Tanager was singing in our yard this early AM. He was puffed up 
and looked cold. Probably wondering if he came back too early.

[cayugabirds-l] Shindagin Hollow Canada Warbler

[Anne Marie Johnson]

  
  
Starting at around 8:30 this morning, I drove the road to the
  bottom of Shindagin Hollow, getting out frequently along the way.
  It was pretty quiet except from numerous singing BLACK-THROATED
  BLUE and GREEN WARBLERS, but on the way down the hill , I found a
  BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER and a MAGNOLIA WARBLER along the edge of the
  road singing and foraging at eye level, and along the road at the
  bottom, I found a singing CANADA WARBLER that came close to the
  road for nice looks.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Incubating Merlin - S Titus Ave

[Tobias Dean]

Perhaps the same Merlin I witnessed nailing a redwing or starling on
Spencer Rd. near the roundabout. He attacked across the northbound lane,
luckily there was no southbound traffic and I was able to stop to hold off
the truck behind me and the catch was flown off back across the lane into
the trees on the uphill side.

[cayugabirds-l] Goetchuis Preserve

[Marie P. Read]

New birds at the Goetchius Preserve this morning were:

Eastern Kingbird
Bobolink...three males together in a jangling group

Also, 
Solitary Sandpiper
Barn and Tree Swallows
Wilson's Snipe
Northern Flicker
Field Sparrow
etc, etc

The lack of Eastern Meadowlark at the preserve so far is a bit 
disappointing...most years there has been a pair nesting there, starting 
usually before the Bobolinks show up. Unless anyone else has seen them there 
already? John Confer?

[cayugabirds-l] Incubating Merlin - S Titus Ave

[John Confer]

A pair of Merlins are incubating in White Pine on South Titus AVe. The nest and 
the favorite plucking tree = sentinel tree are easily seen from public land, 
particularily the dike along Six-mile Creek (beware of dog poop). The nest is 
in the western-most block of S. Titus Ave., behind Meadow Court on south side 
of road.


The nest was built this year by a quartet of Fish Crow.


Respect private property, please.

[cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler - Village of Lansing

[Scott Haber]

A male Mourning Warbler was singing along the Village of Lansing Greenway
this morning. He was mostly hidden deep within the honeysuckles along the
path, but popped out a few times in response to pishing.

Perhaps even more interesting was that it was the only warbler I turned up
during a short walk this morning.
