[cayugabirds-l] Newman Municipal Golf Course and Sapsucker Woods, Fri 5/4

[Mark Chao]

On Friday morning a little after 6 AM, Anne Horst and Andy Turner and I
watched the GREAT HORNED OWL family at a distance through the dissipating
fog at the Newman Municipal Golf Course.  One owlet was in the nest and one
about a three feet above.  The mother started off near the nest, but then
made a couple of short flights to nearby trees.



In the trees scattered around the course, we heard an EASTERN BLUEBIRD,
PURPLE FINCH, and many CHIPPING SPARROWS as expected, plus a WHITE-CROWNED
SPARROW singing under some cedars.  Then as we walked back to Pier Road, we
noticed the trees on both sides of the creek seething with little
songbirds.  It was very hard to identify them in the high canopy against
the gray sky, but we did see and hear a NORTHERN PARULA (both song types),
maybe six YELLOW WARBLERS, very many YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, and a few
BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERS.



Later in the morning in Sapsucker Woods, I had a similar experience of
initial seeming fallout-like abundance of Yellow-rumped Warblers (30+
between the Owens Platform and the first split in the Wilson Trail North)
but relatively little detected diversity – a few western PALM WARBLERS, a
CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER, BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLERS, a NORTHERN PARULA, a
couple of BLUE-HEADED VIREOS, and more COMMON YELLOWTHROATS and WOOD
THRUSHES than on previous mornings.



Most intriguing was a split-second sighting of what I feel nearly certain
was a very small fuzzy tan precocial chick walking quickly across the
Wilson Trail, just south of the Sherwood Platform, toward the pond side.  I
looked and looked but couldn’t refind it, nor any parent or siblings.
Still, it might be worthwhile to pay extra attention here for the
possibility of a woodcock family.

[cayugabirds-l] Crows preying on toads

[Geo Kloppel]

American Toads began returning to my pond two nights ago for their annual 
breeding event. Their night singing is really delightful (if you care for that 
sort of thing), but they do run the risk of daytime predation as they cross the 
grassy dike. The predators are American Crows. The toads were undisturbed 
yesterday, but this morning a saw from a distance that one Crow was busy down 
on the dike. I went down a little later to see what might remain in the grass. 
There were some entrails and lots of tiny unlaid eggs in the grass, but the 
familiar disemboweled corpse was not to be seen. The toads are singing now in 
the daylight, and more are heading toward the pond...

-Geo

[cayugabirds-l] Western meadowlark

[Johnson, Alyssa]

I observed the WESTERN MEADOWLARK sitting on the electrical lines this morning 
on Olmstead Road, just north of Armitage Road at 9:15am. It sat for a moment- 
long enough for me to see spots, and as I approached in my car it took off and 
flew down into the field. I wasn't looking for this bird, just happened to be 
driving to work with a watchful eye! Happy to have gotten to see it.

[cayugabirds-l] Fweep!

[Suan Yong]

Went searching for whippoorwill at Hawthorn this morning with my thermal 
camera: no luck. The muddy heart of the orchard was quiet, though I did see a 
Hermit Thrush. The northern slope and ravine area had more activity, with a 
dozen or more White-Throated Sparrows foraging and singing. In the midst of the 
local voices was the persistent fweep from a FOY Great Crested Flycatcher. Only 
warbler I heard was Yellow-Rumped Warbler, though there were brief spurts of an 
unfamiliar song I didn’t track down.

I'm leading a field trip tomorrow to the Park Preserve. Details are on 
the calendar at http://cayugabirdclub.org and below.

The 300 acre Park Preserve offers a mix of habitats from conifer 
plantations to hardwoods and ravines. Magnolia Warblers, Indigo 
Buntings, Prairie Warblers and Louisiana Waterthrush are just a few of 
the birds that breed here. Bring insect repellent for those deer ticks! 
We'll meet at the North parking lot of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology at 
7:00 am for carpooling (SFO field trips will also be meeting at 7:00 
am). Contact me at 607 216-5389 or fish...@gmail.com
