[cayugabirds-l] Flycatchers

2016-05-22 Thread John and Sue Gregoire 
New arrivals have been slow although orioles and grosbeaks have been numerous 
and 
grand fun. No fancy thrushes but Veery and Wood Thrushes singing steadily which 
is a
big improvement over recent years. On the 19th we had Willow Flycatcher arrive
followed on Friday by Alder. That brings the yard arrivals to 98 for the year 
and
we've yet to see Kingbird, cuckoos and late warblers. Sadly, surrounding
agribusiness level farming has extirpated Grasshopper, Vesper and Savannah 
sparrows
as well as decimating many hedgerow species. All used to be reliable here.

2015-11-15 Thread Sandy 
I just heard a flycatcher call and saw three sparrow-sized birds fly away from 
me. I was
Slow to find my bins buried under stuff. Did see yellow on sides as wings were 
flapping. Many bugs on the trail today. Call I heard matched the call of great 
crested flycatcher  have they been seen here?
