[cayugabirds-l] No Ruff/Reeve. Yes Pelican
This evening we made an attempt at the Port Gibson Ruff and Reeve at Maiden Lane and Towpath. We only found 3 Lesser and 4 Greater Yellowlegs and watched the Lessers fly off to the NE. On to the main pool at Montezuma, the White Pelican was feeding comfortably among the 2000ish Canvasbacks with a few Ruddy Ducks mixed in. A basic plumage Dunlin flew in to the visitor center pool around 5:00 and the Ross’s Goose continued at the back of Eaton Marsh along the wildlife drive. The 5 Great Egrets at Tschache Pool included a yellow wing tagged bird numbered 29x.

[cayugabirds-l] Great morning chorus including sapsucker
Karen and I were awakened at about 6:00 by a sapsucker drumming outside our bedroom. When I first walked out to feed the birds, my most important morning activity, I heard two Pileated Woodpeckers apparently calling to each other within 50 m of our house. There have been two flying and calling on our property for the last two weeks. The young male (dark brown [not black] primaries and wing coverts) has been calling and drumming and feeding at our feeder for a month (the first Pileated at our feeder in years). Yesterday I heard and saw a male and female Red-bellied Woodpecker drumming simultaneously about 5 ft. apart at the top of an aspen. First I had ever heard them drumming together. They had excavated a hole in this tree last year. It broke at that point and the top fell into our yard and across a saw-whet banding line. Bob McGuire kindly chain-sawed the debris. Hairy and downy at the feeder, and a pair of red-bellied and now pileated and sapsuckers in the yard. Wonderful. Dwindling numbers of quite vocal goldfinch and siskin and junco and Purple Finch. The Fox Sparrow that was singing yesterday may have left last night. Tree Sparrows and more calling. Just wanted to share a delightful morning. Besides, in the last two days I have confirmed two Merlin nests, monitored incubation at a third, and found the general location of another. -- 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] New arrivals
As I pulled out of my garage, I spotted a Pine Warbler on my driveway right next to my car! It foraged in the gravel for a few more seconds and then flew up into the pines. I'm guessing it was a new arrival that was too hungry to be concerned about my moving car right next to it! A Chipping Sparrow was a new arrival in my yard this morning as well. I went to Goetchius Preserve in Caroline mid-morning where I found a Solitary Sandpiper, a Wilson's Snipe, and a Savannah Sparrow, along with a Barn Swallow and a Rough-winged mixed in with lots of Tree Swallows.

[cayugabirds-l] Update on Weather and front
Last night there was massive migration in the eastern U.S that stopped in northern NY state where there was a rather diffuse front. Not sure if there will be any significant concentration of migrants. This morning as of this writing the front at the surface is across the northern counties of PA and then drops southeast south of the Catskills. At about 5000 feet up the front is farther north roughly from Buffalo to south of Albany but again it is not a very sharp front yet. At about 1 feet up the winds are from the west and its hard to find any front. So what this means is that birds that migrate between 5000 and 1 feet and up probably will keep going unless they encounter precipitation. At this point there isn't much precipitation near NY or in the northeast U.S. Once the storm intensifies in the midwest and pulls east, the front at all levels up to 10-15 thousand feet will sharpen up and precipitation will spread east. Right now it looks like the surface front will lift back north to the southern tier of NY state today but the precipitation will stream across northern NY so I wouldn't expect too much just arrivals and some pockets of migrants. For tonight, the precipitation and associated front aloft shifts south and looks to be setting up from about Buffalo to Albany and it will be raining north of this. The surface front will actually drop south into northern PA but it will be shallow as the precipitation will be farther north. So I would expect best conditions across upstate NY north of the southern tier, which includes the Finger Lakes area, and Buffalo to Albany. Its hard enough to predict the weather so trying to predict what the birds will do is even harder. Hopefully some of this will pan out. Good Luck!
