Gorgeous mourning warbler singing and displaying before one lane bridge on
Armitage Rd.
Further on after next bridge, saw the prothonotary nest box and then the
prothonotary.

[cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler -Danby

2020-05-15 Thread Geo Kloppel

Almost my first bird this morning was a Mourning Warbler singing in the 
familiar breeding territory on the west side of Bald Hill Road, opposite the 
yellow gate, in the Danby State Forest. Across the road one or two Pine 
Warblers sang frequently (OK, I’m paying more attention to them!)

[cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler - Village of Lansing

2016-05-07 Thread Scott Haber
A male Mourning Warbler was singing along the Village of Lansing Greenway
this morning. He was mostly hidden deep within the honeysuckles along the
path, but popped out a few times in response to pishing.

Perhaps even more interesting was that it was the only warbler I turned up
during a short walk this morning.

[cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler, Blackpoll

2015-05-15 Thread Geo Kloppel
A couple of obviously new migrants are singing in my yard. One is a Blackpoll 
Warbler (I always feel a slight resistance to putting Warbler after the name 
Blackpoll. It feels as if one were to write Redpoll Finch)

The other is a MOURNING WARBLER. Although its rich rolling song left no room 
for doubt about the singers's identity, I do love to see this bird, so I worked 
hard to obtain a view. It was skulking in a deep thicket, and clearly avoiding 
me. On hands and knees I entered a tunnel under the arching canes, and sat 
waiting, heedless of ticks, until the bird moved through a leafless multiflora 
rose tangle in the last throes of rose rosette disease, and I could see its 
dark eye watching me warily. Marvelous!

Lots of dead and dying multiflora rose here. My glee is tempered by the 
expectation that other invasive shrubs will quickly fill the void, and that 
native roses will suffer too. Interestingly I've found one still-healthy 
multiflora rose bush that is completely thornless (!), and I feel more friendly 
toward it for that reason. I find myself hoping that it will not succumb to the 
disease too soon...

Looking at the photos I took of my little warbler flock at lunch, I realized 
the bird I thought was a young Hooded Warbler (not mentioned in the first post) 
was in fact a first-year female MOURNING WARBLER.  That was a nice little

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler, Sapsucker Woods

2013-06-07 Thread Jay McGowan
The MOURNING WARBLER was still singing from the same area on both sides of
the Sherwood Platform in Sapsucker Woods half an hour ago, now giving a
more typical (but still short and soft) song, as well as harsh call notes
every now and then. The ORCHARD ORIOLE is singing lustily from the parking
lot area. Yesterday I heard a second Orchard Oriole sing, which caused the
young male to fly over to check it out, but neither of us was able to find
the culprit again.

 anything I have ever heard from this species. I haven't gotten a look and
 it stopped singing for now, but it seemed to be moving towards the Charlie
 Harper bench area of the Wilson Trail.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler at Hammond Hill

2013-05-04 Thread Susan Fast
This is interesting.  First of all, where is your usual spot?  I spent
several hours atop both Star Stanton and Hammond Hills yesterday.  My usual
spot for mourning warblers is on Star Stanton Hill--go up Star Stanton Hill
Rd. (labeled), up the rough, abandoned part to the crest.  Over the crest
100 yds. and to the right is a road called Truck Trail, which is, or is an
extension of, Canaan Rd.  The first part of the Trail is where I have found
mourning warblers for years. Yesterday I heard, in the distance, what
sounded like the song, but a little odd.  So I tracked it down.  It turned
out to be a female PURPLE FINCH doing a quite passable mourning warbler
imitation.  Also heard a rapidly singing BLUE-HEADED VIREO, which made me
think red-eyed.

I walked about on Mt. Pleasant (Town of Dryden, State of New York, U.S.A.)
for some time this morning.  Lots of SAVANNAH SPARROWS. No bobolinks, horned
larks, meadowlarks, vesper sparrows.  In despair, and only 50 yds. from my
vehicle, I caught movement in a worked-up field at the corner of Mt.
Pleasant and Mineah Rds. and watched 2 AMERICAN PIPITS foraging.  The day
was saved.

Winter wren was there, singing and popping up briefly to be seen by some of the 
~20 participants of today's CBC field trip. Some also saw the mourning warbler. 
Nearby was one of at least three Blackburnians seen in various spots along our 
hike.

Other highlights of the trip include looks at magnolia, yellow-rumped singing 
two-part song that I initially thought was nashville, black-throated blue; a 
broad-winged hawk that flew in close and landed in a tree for a while; a ruffed 
grouse observed by some flying away; and to cap the day echoes of who cooks 
for you from the woods to the east, with hints of a more distant response from 
another barred owl.

[cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler et al

2012-06-10 Thread Meena Haribal
Hi all,

I was working in the garden, when I heard call of a insistent mourning warbler 
several times in the morning from across the street in front of my house. My 
house is just 500 ft from Six Miles creek preserve and perfect habitat for 
Mourning warblers.



I also heard, redstart, Common yellowthroat and Yellow Warblers.



Sneaky House Wrens are feeding their young, and they sneak into thickets and 
overgrown busy area to find something or the other and, I see them carrying 
juicy caterpillars. that means I will have fewer moths:-( . Talking about 
moths, yesterday night I had Polyphemus moth, Oak Beauty, Acronitum americanum 
etc. Not a whole lot though, about 25 species including smaller ones.. Some of 
the moths, Hickory Tussock Moth, Isabella Tiger and two geometrids have become 
morning breakfast for some of the birds in my yard.

There are two pairs of catbirds using my yard as their borders. It is fun to 
watch them puff themselves up and sing. Occasionally they would be very close 
to each other and flexing their muscles. My main yard catbird, that is one who 
is nesting a multiflora rose I think, is not very tolerant of his neighboring 
House Wrens. House wren gets chased off by the catbird.  but smart House wrens 
just dive into thickets and become invisible.



Not many odes ion my yard yet. But hoping that will be soon remedied. Only 
butterflies I saw in the morning were a Silver Spotted Checkerspot, Cabbage 
White and a Hobmok Skipper. Cabbage white was looking to oviposit.

I checked my favorite Mourning Warbler spot along Bald Hill Road (Danby) this 
morning. Didn't find any! It was just silly with territorial Hooded Warblers 
though. Raghu, write me for details if you're interested.

[cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler, etc.

2012-05-16 Thread Kenneth Victor Rosenberg
Thanks for all the tips on finding a Mourning Warbler for our out-of-region 
guests (Department of Defense Partners in Flight group). Given our time 
constraints, I went with 8-yr old intel from my Atlasing days, and headed up to 
the top of Tehan Rd. at the edge of Yellow Barn State Forest. Sure enough, a 
MOURNING WARBLER was singing along the power-line cut as soon as we got out of 
the van. With just a little coaxing from my iPhone, the warbler flew up into a 
small tree and sang in the open -- a life bird for folks as far away as Arizona 
and Alaska.

On a short walk into Yellow Barn on Signal Tower Rd. we had other common forest 
breeders, but many things are still not in -- no Wood Pewees, only 1 Veery,etc.

Yesterday evening, we took the group up to the top of Mt. Pleasant to listen 
for night flight calls, and although it was surprisingly quiet after dusk, we 
did hear 2 BLACK-BILLED CUCKOOS and a nice AMERICAN BITTERN that called 4 times 
as it flew directly overhead.

Back at home later in the evening, I heard a few thrushes and 2 SOLITARY 
SANDPIPERS in 30 minutes of listening.

[cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler territories?

2012-05-15 Thread Kenneth Victor Rosenberg
Enough about ticks and rashes!

Does anyone know the locality of any easily accessible Mourning Warbler 
territories in the Hammond Hill/Yellow Barn SF areas? There used to be an easy 
one at the power line cut at the top of Tehan Rd. and another along the south 
stretch of Yellow Barn Rd. I know they've been found at Hammond Hill this 
spring, but not sure exactly where.

We have a group visiting from outside the region and this is one of their most 
wanted target species.

thanks!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler territories?

2012-05-15 Thread Jay McGowan
One was singing at the top of the Yellow Trail on Hammond Hill on Saturday
morning (trail to the left of the parking area, follow it all the way to a
few meters before it ends at a T intersection). The bird was in the
clearing area right there, the same place one was last year. I also had one
singing along Mount Pleasant Road in the first area with woods on both
sides down (west side) from the observatory on Saturday. Not sure if that
one will stick or was just a migrant, but it sounded pretty close to the
road. Several HOODED WARBLERS were singing from the Cornell property on
lower Mount Pleasant Road at Deerhaven Drive. Other birds on Hammond Hill
included 3 singing male BAY-BREASTED WARBLERS together in an oak, several
NORTHERN PARULAS, and the usual woodland breeding warblers (Canada,
Magnolia, Blackburnian, Black-throated Blue, Black-throated Green,
Black-and-white, redstart, Yellow-rumped, Chestnut-sided, Louisiana
Waterthrush.)

And likewise! I've been looking to photograph one for years now and haven't

I'm also looking for Hooded Warblers if anyone has a lead. Thanks!

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler territories?

2012-05-15 Thread Mark Chao
Hi Ken and everyone,

If the sporting/listing aspect of birding is the goal, rather than
witnessing actual breeding behavior, then I might suggest trying the Wilson
Trail North in Sapsucker Woods between 7 and 8 AM on May 17.  Three of the
past four years, I've found one right there at that very time.  Last year I
also found a second Mourning Warbler on May 17 on the Dryden side.

Seeing Mourning Warblers in Sapsucker Woods may be a little harder than
seeing them on territories on Beam Hill and in our nearby state forests, but
I'm not sure to what extent.  With patience, I had excellent views of two of
the four Mourning Warblers in Sapsucker Woods, as well as a frustrating
glimpse of a third.  One remained out of my sight.

[cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler - Lansing

2011-05-19 Thread Scott Haber
On a lunchtime dog-walk along the green way connecting the Northwood
Apartments complex with Graham Road in Lansing, I came across a loudly
singing MOURNING WARBLER in the thick brambles along the north side of the
path.  Also singing in the area were Canada Warbler, Northern Waterthrush,
and a Chestnut-sided Warbler that seems to be setting up a territory (he's
been singing from the same patch of trees since Sunday.)

Best,
Scott
