[cayugabirds-l] Upland Sandpiper Broome County

2018-04-19 Thread David Nicosia
Derek Green found an Upland Sandpiper this morning on Owen Hill Road in
Lisle, NY. The bird was refound again at around 230 pm by Kevin  McGann at
183 Owen Hill Road at  42.3623,-76.0361
I imagine with north winds tonight and Friday and continued snow showers
the bird probably will stick around.

see  https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S44716453  for some good photos by
Derek. This is the first "uppie" we have had in Broome co. in at least a
dozen years!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Juncos

2018-04-19 Thread Geo Kloppel
I ran into the surfeit of juncos on Sunday, while walking my dog Sandy from 
Larue Road to Curtis Road along Fisher Settlement Road, which parallels Miller 
Creek in the Danby State Forest. If there were any Pine Warblers along there 
(as seemed likely enough), they were swamped by all the Juncos: I guesstimated 
a couple hundred. By contrast, the few Fox Sparrows were easy to hear. So don’t 
despair, Asher, they may be working up the creek toward you...

On Monday, it was an excess of Flickers instead, so I read John’s story with 
interest. I flushed 10-15 of them out of one West Danby yard just by driving by.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Juncos

2018-04-19 Thread Asher Hockett
Looking for Fox Sparrows I moved to our basement which looks out over the
area under our feeders which are at 2nd story level. What did I find?The
rest of the juncos which haven't made it to Laura's yard yet! Can't count
'em, but must be 70 or 80 and there are ton above at the feeders. Also many
Pine Siskins mixed in, but, NO Fox Sparrows.

[cayugabirds-l] Western Meadowlark

2018-04-19 Thread Pat Martin
The Western Meadowlark was still present on Armitage Road this morning. It was 
singing from about 8:40 to 9 am. It was heard first in trees near the house 
nearest to Olmstead Road and on the south side of Armitage Rd., so in Seneca 
County, then had a visual of a singing bird (but with its back to us, darn!) in 
the trees near the house closest to Wiley Road and on the north side of 
Armitage, so in Wayne County. It was last seen and heard flying north. It 
seemed to be exhibiting territorial behavior, namely singing from treetops and 
flying in a (partial) circle around us. The song seemed slightly different from 
the one that Jay McGowan attached to his ebird checklist from last weekend. 
Jay, if you want to hear my cellphone audio, send me your phone number.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Does anyone know if there are red tail hawks nesting this year in the gorge at the Stewart Ave bridge over Fall Creek

2018-04-19 Thread Dave Nutter
I glanced out the taxi window as I drove across the bridge yesterday, and the 
nest appeared empty - no eggs, no adult - but it was a very brief look.

[cayugabirds-l] Magee Marsh bus trip with the Cornell Lab

2018-04-19 Thread Marc Devokaitis
Hi Cayuga Birders,

There is still space left on the bus to Magee Marsh with the Spring Field
Ornithology class. Magee is known as "the warbler capital of North America"
and we are likely to see 25-30 species of warblers, plus hordes of other
birds (and birders :))

The bus leaves the morning of Friday, May 11th, and returns on Sunday
evening, May 13th. This year, the schedule will allow 2 mornings on the
boardwalk, doubling the odds of a great migrant show.

See details here:
http://www.birds.cornell.edu/sfo/magee-marsh-trip

Email sfo_cl...@cornell.edu or call 607-254-2165 if you have questions.

Marc Devokaitis and Leo Sack

[cayugabirds-l] New birds

2018-04-19 Thread Carol Keeler
Well, the Chipping Sparrows finally made it to Auburn.  I had two this morning. 
I still have American Tree Sparrows and Juncos.  For the second time ever I had 
a Fox Sparrow.  I’ve been watching for both birds.  I’ve had quite a few Song 
Sparrows for quite awhile.  I also have three male Purple Finches, plus one 
female that have become regulars at the feeders.
Yesterday, the Osprey from the cell phone tower down the street on rt. 20 flew 
over.  It’s back!  I also nearly got run over by a Cooper’s Hawk chasing a 
grackle.  I was out filling the feeders.  I don’t think the grackle got caught. 
 I could feel them zoom by.
