[cayugabirds-l] DICKCISSEL: Hanshaw Road Grass Plots near Cornell Recreation Center

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

This morning, while checking a couple of areas for possible sparrows of 
interest, I came upon a female DICKCISSEL in one of the grassy lanes to the 
Northwest of the Cornell Recreation Center, located South of Hanshaw Road in 
the Town of Dryden.

The bird was seen a couple of times and photographed poorly by me (digiscoped 
through Leica binoculars with iPhone, at great distance). Later, after Kevin 
and Jay McGowan arrived, the bird was subsequently relocate and photographed 
much better. We also heard the bird produce a series of very peculiar low 
frequency “chup” or “drip”-like sounding calls; these were atypical and not the 
classic flatulant-sounding “bt!” that we often hear as a flight call (esp. 
at night).

Also at this location was a single LINCOLN’S SPARROW and a couple of PALM 
WARBLERS, among other sparrows (Song, Savannah, Swamp, White-throated).

eBird checklist (and map point) with crappy photo can be viewed here:

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Nelson's Sparrows...anyone?

[Dave Nutter]

As of Sunday at Allan H Treman State Park all of the weedy fields of goldenrod 
etc enclosed by the grass paths had been mown, including the burdock thicket. 
The locust-like small trees along the lakeshore had not been cut. The field 
west of the dog farm had also been mostly mown, but leaving some edges on the 
west and south and a remnant milkweed patch. The lowlands of Hog's Hole itself, 
i.e. the northwest part of the park, had not been mown as of Sunday.

Just a heads-up that tonight looks to be a fairly decent migration night and 
might be productive for new fall arrivals in the morning, such as Nelson’s 
Sparrows...

Good luck and good birding!
