Re: [cayugabirds-l] Osprey on nest, briefly

[Dave Nutter]

Mid-day today I was at Stewart Park briefly, and I saw one Osprey standing on 
the nest west of the green suspension bridges. Nobody bothered it during the 
few seconds I looked at it. I wonder if that was courtship I witnessed before.

The nest at the east end of Stewart Park has an Osprey hunkered down on it, 
presumably incubating.

[cayugabirds-l] Brooktondale Bald Eagle

[Annette Nadeau]

Enjoying a light meal outdoors at Brooktons Market in Brooktondale this
evening around 6, I was thrilled to see an adult Bald Eagle fly quite low
heading SE. My neighbor and I both had good looks. It was very exciting.

Is this the Marsh by the landfill, or further up Michigan Hollow?

[cayugabirds-l] CBC field trip on Sunday, April 29, at Monkey Run South, 7:30am-10am

[Liisa S. Mobley]

Hi everyone-

A quick reminder that I will be welcoming the return to winter with a CBC trip 
at South Monkey Run on Sunday, April 29th, 7:30-10am.   While making our way 
through  "delightful" snow in late April, we'll be looking for spring migrants 
and more.  Be prepared for some mud and irregular footing.

Meet at the parking area at the end of Monkey Run Road, off of Rte 366 at 7:30 
am. (link to map: https://goo.gl/maps/2Cv5kJo1v6C2)

Hope to see you there!

-Liisa

[cayugabirds-l] Yellow-rumped Warbler eating suet!

[Marie P. Read]

Yes, you read that correctly: a male Yellow-rumped Warbler delicately picking 
at the suet block after a Downy Woodpecker had left. I guess there aren't many 
insects around...

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Fri 4/27

[Mark Chao]

On Friday morning in Sapsucker Woods (~8:50 AM), I saw six GREAT EGRETS fly
in together from the east, pass over the Sherwood Platform, and then
continue out to the west.  Later I heard a COMMON YELLOWTHROAT singing near
the road along the mulched spur that leads to the power lines and the
Hoyt-Pileated Trail.  Yesterday I found at least five western PALM WARBLERS
loosely together along the Wilson Trail North (others found at least one of
the eastern race), but today I found only one or two.
