[cayugabirds-l] [The Washington Post] Eagles in D.C. area, nationwide have chronic lead poisoning, study finds

[Regi Teasley]

Eagles in D.C. area, nationwide have chronic lead poisoning, study finds
Nearly half the eagles sampled had what researchers called “unexpectedly high 
frequencies of lead,” experts wrote in the study, published earlier this year 
in the journal Science.

[cayugabirds-l] Merlin help

[Karen]

Merlin help, please. I can't compete with Worm-eating Warbler or Curlew 
Sandpiper, but, 

In past years the census of Merlin nesting pairs in ToCobenefited immensely by 
the work of grad. students studying crows. Thesestudents have finished their 
field work. It is impossible for me to do asthorough job working alone, and I 
think this will be the last year to attemptthis. I am going out 4-5 times a 
week, but can’t match the previous effort. Thisyear, thanks to reports of many, 
I have found nesting pairs in T’burg, South Hillnear Oak Hill Manner, near 
Forest Home Drive bridge, the Marina, and west ofWarren Rd: a sum of 5 nesting 
pairs compared to 11 the last two years.

Most pairs started incubating last week after which they gosilent until feeding 
older nestlings. Any help surveying the muted population of ToCoMerlin would be 
appreciated.

[cayugabirds-l] T Vulture

[Donna Lee Scott]

This morning I was with my grounds worker & we were going into the boathouse on 
the beach to clear out leaves & piles of sticks brought by flood last fall.
As I open the door, there was a loud commotion & then I saw a smallish Turkey 
Vulture flying inside at the lake end of boathouse!
It landed on the gravel & got out under the boat exit doors, the bottom if 
which is 2 feet above the ground!

That was curious, but lately TVs have been perched on roof of & trees near 
boathouse.
However as Rick & I started cleaning the gravel floor, I found in a little 
scrape with a few leaves one lovely speckled egg!
Ms. TV wants to nest in there!

Ordinarily this would be fine with me, but june 6 I am moving to Kendal & a 
couple weeks after that my house (& the boathouse) goes up for sale.

Will a month +  be enough time for more eggs to be laid, incubated , hatched & 
chicks fledged?

I am SO busy now, I don’t have time to look up this info.

Another bother: she is pooping in there & it is quite stinky -not a prime 
condition for selling real estate!

What to do?

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: Worm-eating Warbler

[Brad Walker]

For anyone interested in trying for the bird, it seems to be sticking to
the north "ravine" area right on the trail. I walked towards the rec way
and didn't have luck, but on my way back to the car the bird was right over
the trail foraging very low and singing sporadically. It was mostly giving
complex song and calls, with some typical songs every so often. Very
cooperative when it was close.

Here's my recording for reference:

I saw an adult Red-headed Woodpecker in Sapsucker Woods this morning,
flying northeast over the Wilson Trail North. so perhaps your suspicions
were correct, Suan.

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: Worm-eating Warbler

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

I haven’t yet seen this posted here, and I’ve not had time to go birding much 
at the Hawthorn Orchard, but today a WORM-EATING WARBLER was found by Jasdev. 
The bird was seen foraging in the Northeast corner/area and singing 
periodically. This was posted to the GroupMe CayugaRBA by Jay McGowan.

"Worm-eating Warbler found by Jasdev continues at NE corner of Hawthorn 
Orchard. Singing in bursts and foraging.
