[cayugabirds-l] Rose Breasted Grosbeaks

2016-05-10 Thread Sue Norvell 
A Rose Breasted Grosbeak male arrived four days ago and has been eating 
sunflower seed (no suet) since. Three days ago we had a female Rose Breasted 
Grosbeak which ate suet (and only suet) on and off for two days.  We haven't 
seen her today. 

Also eating suet- a crow! huge! when it's so close.

A Baltimore Oriole is in the area, so far not at the feeder. (We have suet and 
sunflower seed, no oranges at this point. Do they like clementines??)

[cayugabirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, Stewart Park

2016-05-10 Thread Jay McGowan 
A rather dull PROTHONOTARY WARBLER is currently foraging along the ditch
that runs along the north edge of Renwick Woods near the entrance of
Stewart Park. It has been working its way west and is now 2/3 of the way to
the lagoon at the turnaround of Stewart Park.

[cayugabirds-l] Red-Headed Woodpecker-- Brooktondale

2016-05-10 Thread Melissa Groo 
Incredible yard bird tonight, from about 5 on, visiting our suet, a
beautiful Red-headed Woodpecker. We are on the northern edge of Shindagin
Hollow State Forest.
I'll be sharing a photo later on Facebook, if anyone is on FB and wants to
see.

[cayugabirds-l] Yellow-bellied Sapsucker behavior around a nest

2016-05-10 Thread Jody W Enck 
Hi All,

 Every once in a while I am fortunate enough to be able to conduct a 
30-minute stationary count during mid-day at a point in about the middle of the 
woods adjacent to my house.  Today was one of those days, and my count was the 
47th half-hour count at that site since the beginning of April.  I have seen a 
lot of that 23.5 hours of observation at the same place in the woods over the 
last five-plus week.  I want to pass along a bit of natural history I observed 
today.

 I’ve had the great fortune of watching a pair of Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers 
establish a territory that virtually centers on my point count location.  Over 
the course of about two weeks, I watched as they took turns excavating a new 
cavity on a Red Maple branch that already had eight woodpecker holes in it.  
Indeed, they chased away a pair of White-breasted Nuthatches that seemed to 
want to use one of the smaller holes on the back side of the branch.  The new 
Sapsucker cavity was constructed on the branch facing my count point and only 
about 20 yards away.

 As excavation neared completion, I almost laughed out loud watching the 
male appear from inside the cavity with mouthfuls of woodchips, spit them out 
in a shower, and disappear back inside for another mouthful.  In addition to 
watching nest excavation, I have witnessed neat interactions between the pair, 
including lots and lots of soft mews and other vocalizations I doubt I had ever 
heard.  Twice I witnessed the female visit the presumably completed nest, 
disappear inside for a couple of minutes and then depart again.  Once, she sat 
just outside the cavity and preened for over 10 minutes before going inside for 
a couple minutes, then emerging and flying away.  Perhaps she was laying an egg 
at those times.

 Today, I did my count from 1:45 to 2:15pm.  At 1:57, I saw the female 
emerge from the cavity (I did not know she was in there), and fly to a tree 
about 50 yards away.  She defecated almost on top of me as she flew over my 
head, suggesting to me that she might have been in the cavity for a while.  
When she landed, she issued on soft mew call that was returned from somewhere 
just out of site in another direction.  After two minutes, the male flew to the 
cavity, looked inside, then flew away out of view.  At 2:06, the female return 
and sat preening right outside the nest cavity.  Then at 2:10 she disappeared 
inside the nest.

 May there nest be successful.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] B. Orioles & White-crowned Sparrows

2016-05-10 Thread Rosalie V Borzik 
Yesterday and this morning, a Baltimore Oriole feasted on the Blue Seal 
Woodpecker Mix (sunflower hearts, safflower, peanut chips) in one of our 
hardware cloth peanut feeders.  Thus far, no indication it has dined on the cut 
oranges impaled on sticks in the front yard.

FYI:  a small flock (5-6) of White-crowned Sparrows have been around for the 
last two or three weeks, feeding regularly with White-throated Sparrows in my 
front yard.  A few were singing this morning.  Stop by and check out the 
feeding area under the maple tree (the one that the woodpeckers are 
disassembling) at the corner of Johnson & Willow in Freeville if you need to 
add them to your year list.

We also had orioles at our suet feeders, which I don't recall occurring in the 
past.  I've put out orange halves in years past, but never saw an oriole come 
to them.

Put up the hummingbird feeder last week, and hung it where a tube feeder with 
sunflower seed had been all winter.  The next morning there were 6 or 8 very 
confused goldfinches and house finches hanging out around that feeder.  Hummers 
showed up the next day.

Hi Cayugabirders,

I think it's very interesting how people are reporting orioles eating suet this 
spring. Maybe this has been reported in previous years, but I don't recall so. 
I'm wondering whether this change in diet is because so few of the flowering 
trees are out (at least where I live and in the Cornell Plantations Arboretum 
where I spend a lot of time). So the orioles are having a hard time finding 
enough food (they like to sip nectar from tree flowers) . BTW, many of the 
crabapples in the Arboretum were nailed by the super-cold snap a few weeks 
back...I've been looking closely...there are few viable flower buds on many of 
them, and leaves just struggling to come out now. The trees up here seem 
awfully bare for mid-May.

Hi Cayugabirders,

I think it's very interesting how people are reporting orioles eating suet this 
spring. Maybe this has been reported in previous years, but I don't recall so. 
I'm wondering whether this change in diet is because so few of the flowering 
trees are out (at least where I live and in the Cornell Plantations Arboretum 
where I spend a lot of time). So the orioles are having a hard time finding 
enough food (they like to sip nectar from tree flowers) . BTW, many of the 
crabapples in the Arboretum were nailed by the super-cold snap a few weeks 
back...I've been looking closely...there are few viable flower buds on many of 
them, and leaves just struggling to come out now. The trees up here seem 
awfully bare for mid-May.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] B. Orioles in Trumbull Corners - SUET!

2016-05-10 Thread Marty Schlabach 
We also had orioles at our suet feeders, which I don't recall occurring in the 
past.  I've put out orange halves in years past, but never saw an oriole come 
to them.

Put up the hummingbird feeder last week, and hung it where a tube feeder with 
sunflower seed had been all winter.  The next morning there were 6 or 8 very 
confused goldfinches and house finches hanging out around that feeder.  Hummers 
showed up the next day.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: May 10, 2016

2016-05-10 Thread Marc Devokaitis 
Cool observation of the White-crowned Sparrows.

Below is the BNA excerpt describing something similar. Since these birds
aren't on their breeding grounds, this must be practice? Maybe the two
males you saw are actually good buddies travelling together and its kind of
like a sparring match at the gym...

Agonistic Behavior

Territorial male flies toward conspecific intruder, erects crown feathers,
puffs chest, and sings loudly. Aggressor may then adopt a threatening
posture, sleeking its body feathers, orienting its body to the horizontal,
and pointing its open bill toward the intruder. This may be accompanied by
a Wing-flutter Display in which male crouches, lowers and flutters its
wings, and raises its head and tail slightly (Moore 1984

, Baptista 1989
),
reminiscent of female’s Copulation-solicitation Display. Fighting is most
common early in territory establishment. Birds in a territorial dispute fly
at each other with feet pointed toward opponent. In prolonged combat, they
fall to the ground, grappling with their feet (Baptista 1989

).


Thanks for sharing,

Re: [cayugabirds-l] B. Orioles in Trumbull Corners - SUET!

2016-05-10 Thread Anne Stork 
I have orioles eating at my suet feeder this spring too. On an odder note- 
Sunday morning - when my feeders were empty- an oriole came to my second floor 
window and just pushed its chest into my window. It was quite something to have 
such a close up view of his bright orange chest. It then flew away. I had a 
strong feeling that this was a message to come down and fill the feeder with 
more suet. Within a half hour of filling the feeders the oriole was back 
feeding on the suet.

Hi Cayugabirders,

I think it's very interesting how people are reporting orioles eating suet this 
spring. Maybe this has been reported in previous years, but I don't recall so. 
I'm wondering whether this change in diet is because so few of the flowering 
trees are out (at least where I live and in the Cornell Plantations Arboretum 
where I spend a lot of time). So the orioles are having a hard time finding 
enough food (they like to sip nectar from tree flowers) . BTW, many of the 
crabapples in the Arboretum were nailed by the super-cold snap a few weeks 
back...I've been looking closely...there are few viable flower buds on many of 
them, and leaves just struggling to come out now. The trees up here seem 
awfully bare for mid-May.

[cayugabirds-l] new arrivals

2016-05-10 Thread John and Sue Gregoire 
Just now we had an amazing new visitor when an adult male CMWA(Cape May Warbler)
landed on a feeder support ar and wondered what all these other birds were 
eating!
Too bad we don't have meal worms.

Yesterday afternoon Solitary Sandpiper came into a pond. That followed a 
morning of
FOYs starting with a hummer at dawn and then Chestnut-sided, Western Palm, 
Ovenbird
and a soaring adult Bald Eagle overhead! Great day that brought this year's yard
list to 88.
