RE: [cayugabirds-l] Whimbrel, Ruddy Turnstones Genva

[Alyssa Johnson]

Castle Creek is right on the NW "corner" of Seneca. If you know where the 
Ramada is, just a short ways north of that. There's a great paved bike path to 
follow. I was just there 20 minutes ago, no sighting of whimbrels, but possibly 
2 ruddys taking flight from the end of the jetty with some gulls. They were 
spooked by people walking, and it's very windy with a southern wind right 
now... They didn't stick around long.

While I know where the park is, I don't know the landmarks you are talking 
about.  Is Castle Creek the creek coming into the lake on the east side?  On 
the map I see a tiny creek about in the middle, too.

[cayugabirds-l] Myers, Wed 5/31

[Mark Chao]

I am reasonably confident that there are 14 first-cycle LESSER BLACK-BACKED
GULLS off the tip of the spit at Myers Park (6 PM). There is also a RUDDY
TURNSTONE on one of the branches sticking out of the water.

I support that idea!  Especially since the beach at Castle Creek is also 
slatted to be used as a launch for kite-boarders.

Just came from there. There were two Whimbrels at the end of the Castle Creek 
jetty, constantly being flushed by walkers. They would return, but in a very

extended periods, but just can't get it here. Looks like I'm going to have to

Just came from there. There were two Whimbrels at the end of the Castle
Creek jetty, constantly being flushed by walkers. They would return, but in
a very short while would be flushed again. These birds need a place to rest
for extended periods, but just can't get it here. Looks like I'm going to
have to re-present my idea of "Sandpiper Island", an offshore refuge that is
inaccessible by humans. It got shot down by the city and state the first
time, 3-4 years ago, but I'm going to jump back in and take the issue as far
as I can.

[cayugabirds-l] Pine Warbler

[Jody Enck]

Hardly news any more, but there is (still) a singing Pine Warbler singing
this morning from the big White Pines near the stone gates to Sapsucker
Woods along Sapsucker Woods Road.  I heard it singing two different times
when crossing the road (between point counts) and saw it once.  I know
several other people heard and or saw it this morning in the same place,
including three hot-shot Amish women birders from Penn Yan who I
encountered on the trail.

If it keeps singing like it did this morning, it will not be hard to find.

[cayugabirds-l] Ruddy Turnstone, Myers

[Jay McGowan]

A Ruddy Turnstone is sitting on the driftwood in the bay on the south side
of the spit at Myers Point. The immature Lesser Black-backed Gull count is
up to five! Six Semipalmated Sandpipers were on the spit when I arrived but
took off to the north a few minutes ago.
