Re: [cayugabirds-l] Chipping Sparrows

[Dave Nutter]

First Chipping Sparrow for me was 13 April, both in my yard by the south end of 
Cass Park in Ithaca and the same day at Allan H Treman State Marine Park, which 
is a bit later than many folks but still exciting for me - very handsome little 
bird. 

First record for the Cayuga Lake Basin this year currently is 31 March, 
photographed by Dave Kennedy in his yard in Seneca Falls, also reported to 
eBird. Earlier reports were not adequately distinguished by description or 
photo from similar but more likely sparrows, such as American Tree Sparrow, but 
rarely Chipping Sparrow does show up in winter and often at feeders when it 
does. 

Thank you for using eBird, which makes monitoring first arrivals easier for me, 
and where reports of rare birds (those which are out of range or out of season) 
get reviewed by an expert, such as Jay McGowan. It’s always good to include a 
photo of any surprisingly early bird if you can, even a not-too-pretty photo 
from a hand-held phone, which can help pin down the ID, and to note the  things 
about the bird which said to you what species it was, especially if eBird says 
it is rare.  Reports to eBird, even if they are not THE first local arrival, go 
into the database which gives a bigger and richer picture for researchers. 
Also, I find that eBird is a great way for me to keep track of my own 
observations & lists, so I recommend eBird generally.

Also I enjoy all the reports on CayugaBirds-L of arrivals. Some species seem to 
arrive only a few at a time, other species arrive on south winds in a big wave 
at many places the same morning. Some species seem to push up against the 
Cayuga Lake Basin in places like Shindagin Hollow before spilling over. And 
some species I suspect circle around, arriving via the Ohio Valley and the Lake 
Ontario Plain, or maybe the Mohawk Valley, rather than crossing the 
Appalachians.

monitor first arrivals.

[cayugabirds-l] Chipping Sparrows

[John Gregoire]

Arrived this morning ! (Mecklenburg area). Yesterday we heard an extremely
loud tapping sound that was like a sapsucker but 10Xas loud. When we found
the bird it indeed was a very enterprising YBSA that found our
abandoned parabolic DISH antenna. The exact middle was his microphone. He
found a mate within minutes! Guess we have a new alarm clock. Can be heard
a half mile away with ease.

ANyone planning to bird Fitzgerald Rd area - DON'T. The local Bergen farm
has slathered fields in liquid manure slurry and it really is putrid
outside.

[cayugabirds-l] Chipping sparrows: Union Springs

[John and Fritzie Blizzard]

On Wed. 25 Mar. 2015 Becky Sewell, my daughter, saw 2 CHIPPING SPARROWS 
under her feeders. She is 3.5 mi. east of Union Springs, inside the 
Basin  has far more varieties of feeder birds than I do.

I've had a SONG SPARROW under my feeders since 26 Mar.. I saw one on 18 
Jan. but didn't try to keep track of it or other birds because of high 
winds/weather/snow, etc.. A Bluebird was checking out my bird boxes on 
the 26th.

On 23 Mar. when I went to look at the Snowy owl between Aurora  King 
Ferry, I looked at the new BALD EAGLE nest by the creek at the south 
edge of Aurora at the corner of Rte. 90  Poplar Ridge Rd.  saw the 
white head sticking up. The nest at Great Gully farm is too far away for 
me to see with binox.

Seems that part of our resident Turkey Vultures have returned. Saw the 
1st ones on 24 Mar.. Still don't know where they roost. Also on the 24th 
I found a Canada goose with a large white elongated cap atop its head 
 the chin strap was shorter  more narrow than normal. Got Becky  she 
took pix  posted them on her Facebook page.

Becky has, for over a wk., seen  taken pictures of a male RED-NECKED 
GREBE on Mill Pond here in Union Springs. I saw it today now that the 
vast numbers of Canadas weren't there. A COOT joined the Mallards, 
Buffles  Redheads today. Pond outlets along Frontenac Park have many 
swans, ducks  geese. Lake ice is still down to Farley's but with the 
thaw  rain, water is now atop the ice.

Snows  Canadas were late getting into the air today. Finally about 11 
a.m. great flocks of them headed out to feed  at 4 p.m. I saw many in 
fields east of us. Seems most any farm fields east of Rte. 90 between 
King Ferry  Mud Lock, as well as all over MNWR lands, people can find 
geese. Also saw many in fields going down 89. Snows are still here in 
great nos..

No ospreys here in Union Springs, yet, that I've seen.

Fritzie
