[nysbirds-l] Tschache Pool Shorebird Walk Saturday Morning May 19th 7 am

2018-05-17 Thread David Nicosia 
All,

I will be leading a shorebird walk around Tschache Pool Saturday Morning.
Meet at the* Montezuma Wildlife Refuge Visitor's center at 7 am Saturday. *
We will have access to walk along the path that is normally restricted up
to the old solar panel post around  Tschache Pool.   I plan on birding
probably until noon or so with the group (or longer) if we see a lot. If
there isn't too much there, we can check out a few other spots around the
refuge.

If you come, it looks rainy, so rain gear, bug spray, water, snacks would
be a good idea. If you have a scope please bring it because some of the
birds likely will be distant.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Dave Nicosia

Re: [cayugabirds-l] oriole

2018-05-17 Thread Melanie Uhlir 
Yesterday in the crabapple collection I got to see another gorgeous 
oriole and also got an all-too-brief but conclusive glimpse of a 
Magnolia Warbler. Heard but not seen were a Common Yellowthroat and a 
Yellow Warbler. Many robins were about. I saw one swallowing a food 
item. He didn't even notice me. Must have been a good snack!

I've watched many orioles, and I've seen yellow-looking males, and at the other 
extreme, I've seen quite male-like females. There is currently a pair nesting 
in the Newman Arboretum of which the female is very orange, dark-headed and 
confusingly male-like (yes, I've seen the male of the pair and he is even 
brighter!). In my experience the comparative blackness of the head (male) and 
presence of brownish coloration on the head and back (female) are good ways to 
tell them apart conclusively.

Enjoy these gorgeous birds!

We have our first oriole, a very pale, almost yellow male - it has a black hood 
but otherwise looks more like a female. I haven't seen this pale color in an 
oriole before.

RE:[cayugabirds-l] American avocet at benning marsh now

Bird just flew low to the south so perhaps is still along the wildlife drive 
someplace. Good luck if chasing.
