[cayugabirds-l] Dickcissel in Etna

2022-04-30 Thread Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes
Diane spotted a very different bird at the feeders this evening. Turns out it 
was a stunning male Dickcissel!

After feeding at the feeders for a while, it flew to the brush piles on the 
left (south) side of our yard. I’ll spread some millet later and let folks know 
if it sticks around tomorrow.

Here’s a picture:

Address is 8 Etna Ln, Etna, NY.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Dickcissel StanleyNy

2017-06-23 Thread David Nicosia
Another thing of interest with this species is that an observer on Ebird
has recorded
night flight calls of DICKCISSELs near Williamsport, PA from June 5-16th
well
east of their normal range. Is there a movement of this species into NY
now??

[cayugabirds-l] DICKCISSEL: Hanshaw Road Grass Plots near Cornell Recreation Center

2016-10-04 Thread Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes
This morning, while checking a couple of areas for possible sparrows of 
interest, I came upon a female DICKCISSEL in one of the grassy lanes to the 
Northwest of the Cornell Recreation Center, located South of Hanshaw Road in 
the Town of Dryden.

The bird was seen a couple of times and photographed poorly by me (digiscoped 
through Leica binoculars with iPhone, at great distance). Later, after Kevin 
and Jay McGowan arrived, the bird was subsequently relocate and photographed 
much better. We also heard the bird produce a series of very peculiar low 
frequency “chup” or “drip”-like sounding calls; these were atypical and not the 
classic flatulant-sounding “bt!” that we often hear as a flight call (esp. 
at night).

Also at this location was a single LINCOLN’S SPARROW and a couple of PALM 
WARBLERS, among other sparrows (Song, Savannah, Swamp, White-throated).

eBird checklist (and map point) with crappy photo can be viewed here:

[cayugabirds-l] Dickcissel still present at Cornell Community Gardens, Freese Road

2015-10-11 Thread Mark Chao
I’ll write more later about this weekend’s extremely enjoyable field trips,
but for now will just report that the DICKCISSEL is still present on Sunday
at the Cornell Community Gardens on Freese Road.  I plainly saw it in the
hedgerow at the southeast corner, near the Cayuga Trail entrance, with many
White-throated Sparrows.  I was a little surprised about the location, but
plainly saw the plain yellow breast, heavily striped brown wings, plain
face with distinct supercilium, and somewhat long bill.  I think that the
bird may have moved back into the plots when the White-throated Sparrow
flock gradually shifted there, but we didn’t refind it.

[cayugabirds-l] Dickcissel, Stewart Park; other local birds

2015-08-31 Thread Jay McGowan
Although it didn't strike me as a great migration night last night,
the morning flight down by the lake this morning seemed active enough.
In addition to a handful or warblers besides the usual Yellows
overhead, I heard several calls from a DICKCISSEL over Stewart Park
around 7:15 this morning, as well as decent numbers of Bobolinks and
Red-winged Blackbirds.

We kayaked out around the south end for a while but did not turn up
the Laughing Gull or any other interesting lake birds.

Following up on Mike Tetlow's mention of a thousand Bobolinks on the
Wildlife Drive, Kevin and I did the drive before the shorebird walk on
Saturday. While I have been seeing flocks of a couple of hundred
Bobolinks settling into the grassy areas of the Main Pool for several
weeks, I have never seen anything like the numbers of Bobolinks we saw
and heard Saturday morning anywhere in the Northeast. I'm not sure
that many of them were actually coming from or going to the habitat on
the Main Pool, but there were multiple thousands in view high in the
sky out over the pool, and the cacophony of distant "bink" calls was
impressive and constant for at least 20 minutes at dawn. Really an
amazing sight and sound.

Also, since people having been posting to the list too much lately, I
thought it might we worth giving a quick rundown on fall migration. I
personally have not had too much luck with migrant warblers in the
last week or two, but others have a had a good variety, with many
species reported, including: COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, AMERICAN REDSTART,
YELLOW, MAGNOLIA, BLACKBURNIAN, CHESTNUT-SIDED, OVENBIRD, CAPE MAY,
BAY-BREASTED, PINE, YELLOW-RUMPED, BLACK-THROATED GREEN,
BLACK-THROATED BLUE, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, WILSON'S, MOURNING,
BLUE-WINGED, BLACK-AND-WHITE, CANADA, HOODED, and PRAIRIE all reported
within the last week. YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHERS are moving through in
good numbers at the moment, and the first PHILADELPHIA VIREO reports
are just coming in. Now is a great time to see migrating COMMON
NIGHTHAWKS at dusk, and SWAINSON'S THRUSHES have already joined the
other thrushes in the night migrant chorus.

Good birding,
Jay

[cayugabirds-l] dickcissel

2012-07-04 Thread Ann Mitchell
Hi All,
Sorry for the late post.  Dave and I saw the Dickcissel on Tuesday. He did
post the sighting. I want to add that we were extremely lucky to see the
bird at the top of the "Sprawling  Oak" where there are no leaves.  It sat
there for at least 10 minutes.  It preened, moved in all directions, and
sang. It was quite beautiful. Enjoy it if you can see it.  Hopefully, they
will breed here.
Good Birding,
Ann

[cayugabirds-l] Dickcissel - Etna, NY - 7 October 2011

2011-10-07 Thread Chris Tessaglia-Hymes
I have uploaded an audio clip of the Dickcissel from this morning (at 2:47
AM), as well as a spectrogram frame-grab, showing the characteristics of
this flight call. These can be accessed by going to these links:

 

Audio:

http://www.NortheastBirding.com/111007.024749_DICKCISSEL_Etna_NY.wav

 

Image:

http://www.NortheastBirding.com/111007.024749_DICKCISSEL_Etna_NY.jpg

 

Note, the audio file is five seconds in duration, with the flight call
occurring at approximately 2 ½ seconds into the clip.

 

This particular call consisted of five distinct note peaks and with a single
fainter introductory and closing note, for a total of seven identifiable
peaks.

 

I simply didn’t expect to detect anything on the recording from last night,
given how quiet it was, let alone get something as good as a (another!)
Dickcissel flight note.

 

Good birding!


Sincerely,
Chris T-H

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Dickcissel - 7 October 2011 @ 2:47AM - Etna, NY

2011-10-07 Thread Asher Hockett
We have had some fairly atypical weather patterns recently - large low
pressure systems which have moved north and northwest and even some moving
west. Those could have picked up migrants and swept them east on their
south-west quadrants. Just speculation from someone who watches the radar a
lot.

So, does anyone know what's up with Dickcissel's this year? I've recorded my
loudest one yet this season, this morning, on an absolutely dead night

[cayugabirds-l] Dickcissel etc, Freese Road and Sapsucker Woods

2011-09-14 Thread Jay McGowan
Livia and I walked around the garden plots on Freese Road this morning, as
we have been doing most mornings. The highlight was a single buzzy call note
from a DICKCISSEL, presumably flying over, to the NW of the NE corner of the
garden plots. The bird was not seen. We also had a dull CAPE MAY WARBLER
emerge from foraging low in the vegetation of one of the garden plots and
immediately fly sheepishly into the tall oaks along the edge, no doubt
ashamed to have been caught foraging in such an embarrassing habitat. We
also had a little flock that included a bright PHILADELPHIA VIREO and a
Red-eyed Vireo in the hedgerow across the street.

Lots of activity at Sapsucker Woods this morning too. We had BAY-BREASTED,
WILSON'S, Black-and-white, Nashville, Black-throated Green, Magnolia (many),
American Redstart, and Common Yellowthroat on the walk in, as well as a
PHILADELPHIA VIREO, several Warbling and Red-eyed vireos, Eastern Phoebes,
and a heard-only YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER.

Good birding!
