Hi Karen,

Someone smarter than me may be able to identify that to species, but it's
definitely a Dowitcher.

Hi,

When I was at Cass Park this morning, I spotted this small sandpiper hanging 
out with some mallards in one of the flooded ball fields. I couldn't figure out

Hi Carol,
Its a great picture!  And, your description of it holding its tail up was a
good field mark.  Check out the Gnatcatcher page in your field guide.

[cayugabirds-l] bird ID help

[Carol Keeler]

Hi all,
I photographed this little gray bird at Montezuma last Wednesday morning.  The 
only little gray bird I know that has white on the edges of its tail is a 
Junco.  This isn't a Junco.  It holds its tail like a Mockingbird.  Again, 
that's not what it is.  From its beak I thought it might be a warbler.  I'm 
sorry the pic isn't better, but even at 600mm, it was tiny.  Can any of you 
bird experts help me?

[cayugabirds-l] Bird ID help

[Karen Steffy]

Hi,

I was birding/jogging around Beebe Lake just a little bit ago.  There was a 
warbler sized bird that showed up among the yellow-rumps near the small foot 
bridge below Helen Newman.  The bird was basically black and dark grey with a 
black beak.  The only other marks I could see on it resembled a mustache that 
ran down from both sides of its beak down to its throat.  Any ideas?  Merlin 
couldn't find a match.

Thanks!

Karen

[cayugabirds-l] Bird ID help needed

[Karen Steffy]

I got back half an hour ago from jogging around Beebe Lake.  There was a large, 
hawk-like bird soaring over the lake, looking for fish.  I saw it dive twice 
for fish.  The bird has a white head and underside and was reddish-brown on 
top.  I have looked on allaboutbirds.com and haven't found anything.  It could 
almost be a rough-legged hawk, except for the fishing part.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Karen
