Bird was still present at 5pm-ish on Warren Rd. just north of the Moakley
House. The bird was favoring the roadside across from the house with a
white picket fence and a realty sign.

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

2022-05-12 Thread 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:

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Basin Osprey Nest Tracking

2021-03-31 Thread Brad Walker
Hi all,

To cut down on the number of email threads related to Osprey nests, I'm
creating a thread we can use to track the nests to keep them all in one
handy location. If you want to report a new Osprey nest or update on the
progress of a given nest, please reply to this email/thread.

Ospreys are very common now and there are a lot of nests and that means a
lot of emails. It's great to hear about them, but it also means other
emails can get lost in the shuffle.

Thank you in advance!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Dead birds under the thistle feeder

2021-02-22 Thread Brad Walker
If you do find dead birds like this (if they're fresh and not freeze-dried
or damaged) you can store them in your freezer in plastic bag so they can
be donated to the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates the Cornell Lab of
Ornithology (when they eventually are open for the public again). I'm not
sure if there's any system in place currently for accepting specimens. If
you decide to store one, you should put a little slip of paper in the bag
that says the date, location, and how the bird died (or how you found it).
You don't have to worry about identifying the bird if you don't know what
it is. And freezer bags are always better, since they're made for keeping
things safe in a freezer.

[cayugabirds-l] (Deceased) Yellow-crowned Night-Heron in Ithaca

2017-10-24 Thread Brad Walker
Hi all,

I just picked up a Yellow-crowned Night-heron specimen from the Swanson
Wildlife Clinic. They said the bird had been found on Route 13 near the
Ithaca Airport on October 20. It's going to be prepared for the Museum of
Vertebrates sometime this week.

According to Jay McGowan and Tim Lenz this is the first record for that
species in eBird and the first or second for the county, but they can
correct me on that if I'm wrong.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Two questions

2017-07-12 Thread Brad Walker
It's probably a spotted sandpiper. It's never a good idea to go solely by
measurements such as total length in the field.

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods migrants

2017-05-04 Thread Brad Walker
New migrants today included Indigo Bunting near the powerline cut,
Chestnut-sided Warbler, Black-throated Blue Warbler and a MOURNING WARBLER
that sang several phrases near the powerline cut. I was not able to locate
it.

Also, on Tuesday I had the Great Horned Owl getting mobbed by American
Crows near the East Trail map. The trees are beginning to leaf out so it's
getting harder to see into its roosting area.

In addition to the tanager there were several more migrants around
Sapsucker Woods this morning:

Baltimore Oriole, Warbling Vireo, Blue-headed Vireo, many Yellow-rumped
Warblers, Common Yellowthroat, Gray Catbird, Great Crested Flycatcher and a
group of at least 100 White-throated Sparrows moving through the brush.

I also watched a Great Blue Heron carrying a stick  as it headed towards

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods Virginia Rail update

2016-05-05 Thread Brad Walker
Hi all,

Now that my hands are free: This bird was found by Martha Fischer in the
small marshy areas near the staff entrances to the Lab of Ornithology. It's
moving between the two marshy areas along the wast side of the building
(sometimes running through the culverts) but it is frequenting the
north-most cattail filled bit. The bird had been giving its grunting call
on and off for half an hour. You should be able to hear it from anywhere in
the immediate vicinity if it does that.

[cayugabirds-l] Possible Olive-sided Flycatcher at Sapsucker Woods

2015-09-03 Thread Brad Walker
Hi all,

On my walk this morning I saw what I believed was an OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER
on the back pond at Sapsucker Woods. I saw the bird in silhouette from the
Sherwood Platform, but it was a large flycatcher with a nice peaked head. I
ALSO thought I heard the last part of this bird's song several times as I
was walking the Wilson Trail, which would be rather odd. Anyway, if you're
in the area, feel free to look for it!

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods and Northeast Ithaca

2015-05-13 Thread Brad Walker
Hi all,

Despite the wind and cold and wet, there were a few migrants a Sapsucker
Woods this morning, mostly clustered around the Charlie Harper bench area.
A BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER was foraging with a very cooperative pair of
BAY-BREASTED WARBLERS,  and there were numerous ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS,
including a young male with adult plumage but a white eyebrow, and another
male at the Sherwood Platform that was unwilling (but able) to fly as I
approached.

On my ride in, I found a pair of MERLIN in the Salem Drive neighborhood.
These birds have been around for a week being quite vocal. Today I watched
as the male carried in some prey, gave it to the female, then copulated
with her. There is a possible nest (old crow nest) nearby, but I haven't
seen them visit yet.

 TENNESSEE WARBLER - many encounters  songs

 There were many RED-EYED VIREOS, but I missed the multiply-reported
 PHILADELPHIA VIREO. Over the large field to the SE a pair of EASTERN
 MEADOWLARKS had an extended pursuit, the lead bird being slightly smaller,
 which I interpreted as courtship. I had 2 silent EMPIDONAX encounters.

 Of the 13+ there were 4+ females and 9+ males. There were also a solid 12+
 TENNESSEE WARBLERS singing in almost every section of habitat available.

 Here’s my eBird list:

 Comments: This was a fantastic morning, though I only wish I had been
 able to get here sooner and spend much longer here on such a great day.
 Today may possibly have yielded one of the highest number of Cape May
 Warblers I've tallied at this location. It was difficult, due to their
 silence at times. Many observed foraging on the same branches together at
 the same time. Due to my late arrival time, I know I missed lots of good
 birds. Others reported having seen a roving flock of Bay-breasted Warblers
 and Blackburnian Warbler, Canada Warblers, Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, among
 others. Great day, following overnight rain storms. Given general
 North-type winds in the forecast, these guys may be returning to the
 Hawthorn Orchard to continue foraging over the next couple of days.

Scott Haber and I went to the Lindsay-Parsons Preserve this morning for
some recording and birding. There were many breeding birds (and ticks!) but
the highlights included a BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO that was calling on and off

The ticks seemed to be worst on the other side of the railroad tracks.

Thanks again to Susan for the Cape May Warbler report, it was still present
between 6:15 and 7:15 in the same tree, joined by a Blue-winged Warbler. A
Merlin was also in the area, being chased by an Eastern Kingbird in a
contest to see who could be the most annoying.

The two beavers were also on the pond, taking a break from ruining the
trees to adorably munch on the lilypads.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods worm eating warbler

 an ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, understandably confusing as it foraged high over
 the trail in the crowns of the trees, only occasionally giving its metallic
 trill.

[cayugabirds-l] Cass Park Birds (including white-winged gull)

2015-04-25 Thread Brad Walker
Hi all,

At about 1pm today, Nathan Goldberg and I had a white-winged gull (that we
thought was an Iceland Gull) soaring over The Boatyard Grill. It appeared
to be the same size and proportions-ish as the Herring Gull soaring with
it. Other birds of note were a low Common Loon over the water, a Caspian
Tern and a Merlin that flew over the boathouses while calling.

[cayugabirds-l] Possible Phoebe

Hi all,

While at Myers this morning, I thought I heard an EASTERN PHOEBE give a
single chip note from the private area where the short-eared owl roosted
some time ago (this is directly south across the channel from the
lighthouse). I only heard it once and didn't see anything, but there were
no starlings in the spot where I heard it, so keep your eyes/ears open if
you're there.

 What I get are Chipping Sparrow, no Gyrfalcon. Granted eBird is great for
 collecting data, but for alerting birders to rare birds it is, pardon the
 expression, for the birds.
 Maybe I am doing something wrong in my eBird settings, but it is not clear
 to me, and if it not clear it is not useful.

 Now if only someone could help me get on the local alert net I would be
 grateful.

 The great part of using eBird as Bob does is that rare bird sightings
 output to all users that have the rare bird / needs alert notifications
 setup in their account. No extra work involved and potentially reaching
 more observers than the text alert system. I highly recommend using BirdLog
 NA for all your sightings!
 The RBA system still has the advantage of immediacy reaching flip phones,
 but can detract from the personal experience just a little. I don't feel
 the same loss when using BirdLog and will advocate that others try it and
 judge for themselves.
 This comes from a dedicated notebook user.

Hi all,

Scott Haber and I drove around the area for about an hour this morning with
no luck. We did see a flying Pileated Woodpecker that we hoped would get
plucked from the air, but no luck. There are a lot of Crows, Red-tailed
Hawks and Larks in the area to watch in the meantime.

Scott and I also stopped at Dean's Cove where we had several Long-tailed

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, in addition to other common waterfowl.

 Hello all,

 Alexa and I had the good fortune to watch the Tufted Duck for an hour or
 so on Saturday morning. It was diving actively the entire time, which made
 it tough to find (and difficult to show to others in the scope). Which got
 me thinking: What are the various Aythya eating? The Tufted Duck was
 clearly associating with scaup on Saturday that were actively feeding. Also
 present were several big flocks of Redhead (all loafing around), and a
 decently big group of Canvasback (also loafing).

 A quick search informs me that Aythya eat gastropods, mussels and aquatic
 vegetation among other things, and that the relative proportion of animal
 food in their diet varies seasonally.

 Does anyone know what they are eating in Cayuga in winter? Must be a fair
 bit of food to support so many birds for several months...

 Do different species of Aythya eat different things?

 Can you tell when Aythya are eating gastropods/molluscs/animal food vs
 plants based on their diving behavior?

 Looking forward to learning what these ducks are up to,

 Ben

[cayugabirds-l] Bluegrass Lane CATTLE EGRET

2014-10-09 Thread Brad Walker
Hi all,

Five of the CATTLE EGRETS were flying ESE over the red barns at Bluegrass
Lane about 20-30 minutes ago. They were flying in a tight group. Earlier I
had a single bird soaring with the gulls that seemed to be heading west,
but I lost track of it.

The only other sighting of note was a very high group of about 50 SNOW
GEESE flying south in a messy V.

Hi all,

I went to the Freese Rd. garden plots this morning and found a ton of
migrants, but nothing too unusual. The highlights were a single first
winter WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW seen briefly, then heard singing a raspy song
one time, and a juvenile PEREGRINE FALCON coursing over Bluegrass Lane
chasing things.

[cayugabirds-l] Cornell Arboretum Migrants (16Aug)

2014-08-16 Thread Brad Walker
Hi all,

While walking an adorable corgi with Scott Haber today at the Cornell
Arboretum we came across a PEREGRINE FALCON perched on a radio tower near
the overlook with the gong. It was pretty obvious and should be findable if
it's in the same spot.

There was also a mixed species flock that included BLUE-WINGED WARBLER,
RED-EYED VIREO, ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK and presumably a young COMMON
YELLOWTHROAT that sang like a Canada Warbler.

2014-05-23 Thread Brad Walker
Hi all,

There was a lot of quiet activity on the Wilson Trail North this morning.
The highlights were a calling (but unseen) YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER,
giving its pewee-like chu-wee calls near the feeders/blind along the pond
shore, and a male MOURNING WARBLER foraging along the trail behind the
north feeders near the building. The bird sang a single phrase quietly,
then popped out for about thirty seconds before disappearing again.

northern leg of the stream at the footbridge.

There was also a Canada Goose on its nest and four AMERICAN WIGEON flew
into the back pond.
