Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Injured Hummingbird
Hello,

This evening, my husband and I found a Ruby Throated Hummingbird on our 
walkway. We think it flew into a window at the front of our house. It is still 
alive and has moved 180 degrees from where we found it. We’ve put a hummingbird 
feeder near it on the walkway and it seems to be licking at the sugar water 
around the feeder openings. If it were daytime, we’d call the Lab of O and see 
if there are any suggestions as to what, if anything, to do at this point.

We’re concerned, of course, about a possible predator, and thought of putting a 
colander over the bird, but then the feeder couldn’t be near the bird. Any 
thoughts? Is this a lost cause? We felt we had to try.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Kathleen Kramer

Ken K and I were at Stewart Park this morning to post a sign about the Martin 
house that Cayuga Bird Club has put up there. A few minutes after that, a 
single male Purple Martin was chittering and circling over the park! They are 
back!

Let's hope for another successful nesting cycle this year for Purple Martins at 
the Stewart Park martin house.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Tundra Bean-Goose photos

If you go into Macaulay Library, you can search by “contributor” with a pull 
down menu in the search bar. Then you can enter the species name and see all 
his photos of the bird.

Sorry to not have provided more information about how to see Joe Wing’s photos.

I used the info Gary gave me, that Joe had nice photos from the Mucklands, then 
looked it up on eBird rare bird alerts for Wayne County since it’s less than 7 
days old. Since Joe’s sighting has been confirmed, you can also use the eBird 
“explore” page to get the species map for Tundra Bean-Goose, zoom in to see the 
recent red pins, click on the upper pin for Wayne County in the Mucklands, then 
click the date beside Joe’s name. It’s checklist S104578240. Maybe there’s a 
more elegant way, but those are the ways I found it.

Thank-you to *everybody* for your patience, persistence, & communication 
regarding finding, refinding, and documenting this super-rare European bird, 
the Tundra Bean-Goose. As I said before, this is only the second NYS record, 
while the first record was only last March, and probably the same bird, also on 
northbound migration in the eastern part of the state. There are a lot of 
birders with cameras, but photography has been very challenging, and few 
reports even include unique photos, let alone detailed, focused, or complete 
views of the bird. I think Sandy Podulka has finally submitted some photos to 
eBird which give us all - and history - a satisfying view. If anyone else has 
photos or video which even document some single field mark or behavior well for 
this bird, please do not hesitate to add them to your eBird reports.

Hello!

My husband and I were at the bridge over Upper Taughanack Falls at Taughanack 
State Park today and observed something we've never seen in our thirty years of 
birding...a flock of cedar waxwings fly catching from the trees alongside the 
creek out over the top of the falls. 15 - 20 birds repeatedly flying out over 
the falls & in to the trees presumably catching bugs.

All my information tells me that cedar waxwings are not so enthusiastic about 
insects. I would like to know if anyone else has observed this and what 
information you have about cedar waxwings fly catching.

Thank you!

Any ideas about what's going on?

Folks - a question.
Today I watched a male Cardinal in a cherry tree. He was picking at the 
blossoms, putting them in his mouth, then quickly discarding them. He was 
grabbing them from the stem end and not the blossom end.  He was doing it for 
quite some time. The path beneath the trees was covered with discarded blossoms.
Any idea(s)?
Thanks.
