I wonder if the cold freeze killed them inside the bluebird box?

[cayugabirds-l] dead blue birds

2023-05-25 Thread Poppy Singer
Parents have been feeding constantly. Today I didn't see them so I looked
in the nest to see if they had all fledged. They are all dead! I quickly
closed the door, so I am not sure if they are all babies or include
parents.
What shall I do with the dead birds?

[cayugabirds-l] Blackandwhitestart?

2023-05-25 Thread Rick Lightbody
Yesterday morning, Carol and I were birding at Jetty Woods, near the area
where Trees Up Tompkins has been removing invasives and planting natives (a
more open area, near where the gravel access road enters the woods).  In
that area we heard a couple American Redstarts, a Black-and-white Warbler,
and several other species singing.  And Merlin was suggesting all that.  We
wanted to see the Black-and-white, because we'd only seen one other this
spring, so we spent a good amount of time looking for it.  This, however,
turned out to be a mistake.  We'd seen plenty of Redstarts, so we weren't
trying very hard to get a visual on those.  But when we got round to
spotting one, and watched it actually singing, we discovered that THAT was
our Black-and-white.  It was singing three different songs, in a sort of
rotation.  Two of them sounded to our ears like a Redstart, and one of them
sounded very much like the high-pitched squeaky wheel of a
Black-and-white.  And Merlin thought so too!

Live and learn...

Rick

[cayugabirds-l] Orchard Orioles at Salt Point

2023-05-25 Thread Rick Lightbody
Carol and I had a brief but nice view of two male Orchard Orioles at Salt
Point this morning (ca. 7:45am).  They were, for a moment, on the same
branch of a large cottonwood tree which faces out toward the field with
nest boxes (and the speed-bumped driveway beyond that).  We'd probably
caught the tail end of some kind of interaction, but we didn't catch any
vocalizations.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk

2023-05-25 Thread Linda Orkin
That’s interesting. I was running on the East hill reg way and a quick check of 
Merlin said it heard a Common Nighthawk. I did not hear that myself and it only 
registered once. But just an additional bit of potential information.

[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk

2023-05-25 Thread Theresa DeBoover

Just spotted a sleeping Common Nighthawk on the east Ithaca recreation path, 
about a couple hundred yards from Honness Lane on the east side. Wish I had my 
camera, all I can offer are cellphone pictures. It did not seem to notice my 
presence there at all
