RE: [cayugabirds-l] ID help? white winged gull sp. on Stewart Park ice edge.

[Kevin J. McGowan]

Good call, Josh. That’s a first cycle Glaucous Gull, and you’ve described all 
the right characteristics.

I had a first cycle at the Cornell compost on Stevenson Road last Saturday, 
likely the same bird.

Best,

Kevin

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] ID help? white winged gull sp. on Stewart Park ice 
edge.

Hi friends,
Sorry if this is an inappropriate venue for this question. I saw what I believe 
was a 1st winter Glaucous Gull on the ice edge at Stewart Park as viewed from 
East Shore Park. I have little experience with white winged gull species. 
Through the scope the bird was all white with light brownish tonal markings. 
The bill seemed large and straight through the scope, with a clear dark tip and 
pale pinkish base (no fading to black), pink base was about 3/4 of bill length. 
Size was difficult to judge at that distance, but seemed as large as the nearby 
herring gulls, and seemed to have a relatively flat head. I've attached a link 
to my eBird checklist with poor digiscoped photos. Any experts out there 
willing to help a beginning guller?
Thanks,
Josh

Re: [cayugabirds-l] ID help? Whistling at night

[Asher Hockett]

I heard twice a descending call this morning, lower pitched and coarser
than what I associate with E. Screech Owl. It seem to definitely be an owl
- it was still dark with only a few peeps and chirps from other
birds/frogs/insects - and the descending pattern was like that of the E.
SO.  Trying out by youthful voices, I'd guess.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] ID help? Whistling at night

[Eva Smith]

Thanks to all the feedback and comments. Since the bird was perched rather
than a flyover, seems like the best fit is a Eastern Screech Owl making (to
me) an unusual version of its call.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] ID help? Whistling at night

Screech owls whinnying now and the last couple of nights at my house in 
Endicott.  I haven’t heard them in months.

I’ll defer to the experts but would not rule out Screech-owl. I’ve heard that 
also: clear descending rather than whinny descending but followed by other EASO 
distinct sounds, so concluded it was the same bird. I’ve been hearing EASO loud 
whinnies just in the last couple of weeks, first time this year, so I guess I 
have a male imoving around checking out the territory or advertising once 
again.

I hope it's ok to ask for ID help here. Between Sibley and the Lab of O's bird

The call was a long (1-2 s) descending clear whistle (not a whinny like a 
typical Eastern Screech Owl), starting on a high note and ending quite low. It 
was repeated 3-4 times and then followed by a repeated whistle on a single,

It was heard at 1 AM at the border between a field and scrubby forest.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] ID help? Whistling at night

[Chris R. Pelkie]

I’ll defer to the experts but would not rule out Screech-owl. I’ve heard that 
also: clear descending rather than whinny descending but followed by other EASO 
distinct sounds, so concluded it was the same bird. I’ve been hearing EASO loud 
whinnies just in the last couple of weeks, first time this year, so I guess I 
have a male imoving around checking out the territory or advertising once again.

Dear all,

I hope it's ok to ask for ID help here. Between Sibley and the Lab of O's bird 
call recordings, I haven't been able to get a decent ID on a bird heard last 
night.

The call was a long (1-2 s) descending clear whistle (not a whinny like a 
typical Eastern Screech Owl), starting on a high note and ending quite low. It 
was repeated 3-4 times and then followed by a repeated whistle on a single, 
high note. The timbre was similar to a saw-whet owl, but the tempo was 
different.

It was heard at 1 AM at the border between a field and scrubby forest.

Regards,
Eva

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Id (hawk)

[Kevin J. McGowan]

Interesting, and it's good to see more photos.  I had the opportunity to take a 
few Red-shouldered Hawk juvenile photos yesterday morning, and it is 
interesting to compare them. See 
https://picasaweb.google.com/KevinJ.McGowan/Summer2013#5902023748124579442 and 
surrounding photos.

I would agree that the bird in question is a Broad-winged Hawk, but that 
conclusion is based on the proportionately longer tail in my Red-shoulder photo 
that's about the same posture.  I don't see a lot else to go on.

I don't see anything compellingly different about the breast markings of the 
two hawks, and I would comment that the Connecticut bird has more extensive and 
more regular spotting on the chest than I am used to for a Broad-winged.  Note 
the clear upperchest on my bird, as well as the apparently unbarred secondaries 
in https://picasaweb.google.com/KevinJ.McGowan/Summer2013#5902024799481751954.

The rufous crescent on the wings of my bird as well as the vigorous calling 
made no doubt about its ID, but those aren't apparent in most photos.

As I flash back and forth between 
https://picasaweb.google.com/KevinJ.McGowan/Summer2013#5902023748124579442 and 
the first image at 
http://www.flickr.com/photos/37410965@N05/9312891773/in/set-72157634695233960/, 
I think anyone can be excused for not feeling confident about distinguishing 
perched juveniles of these species!

Best,

Kevin

A week ago Greg Ward asked for ID help with a young hawk photographed in 
Andover CT.
http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/msg10523.html

At the time, he sent along the one image he had. In return I sent back my notes 
on the bird.

Now we have three photos, and I've put them online along with my description of 
this young Broad-winged Hawk. Enjoy.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Id

[Kevin J. McGowan]

The large, discreet spots, long legs, and appearance of barring on back 
feathers make me think this is a juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk. Do you have 
additional photos that you could post somewhere?

Good afternoon!

As a reminder, please do not email attachments directly to the eList

of malware transmission to other computers.

Instead, please use online photo album sites, such as Picasa or Flickr, and 
then email the link to the created album and a description of the sighting to 
the eList.

If anyone has any questions or comments about eList subscription or maintenance 
issues, please don't hesitate to contact me directly, off-list.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] ID problem: female Black Scoters or winter male Ruddy Ducks at Dryden Lake?

[Kevin J. McGowan]

Yes, Black Scoter females.  There was also a pair of Common Goldeneye present; 
both very good birds for Dryden.

Hi all,

Bird ID problem...

see:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GixbxmtaGY8


I took this at Dryden lake late yesterday (Sunday morning).

 My first impression before looking carefully was Ruddy Duck winter males.  
Once I scoped them I started to doubt and wondered  if they were Black Scoter 
females.

any help would be appreciated.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] id help and Spanish bird names

[Ray Zimmerman]

Thanks, several others suggested Palm Warbler ... after looking at some more 
photos, I'm convinced that's what it was.

Thanks everyone ... for the ID help and the suggestions about Spanish names. 
For others interested in an on-line resource for the Spanish names, Alberto 
Lopez mentioned the following site:

Happy birding,

 Hi Ray,
 
 Your mystery bird sounds like a western Palm Warbler.  Your plumage 
 description is good, and Palm Warblers are well-known for their tail wagging.
 
 Regarding your question about Spanish bird names, Kenn Kaufman put out a 
 Spanish-language version to his North American field guide a few years ago.  
 I don't know if it is readily available or not, but I'm sure you could find 
 out easily on Amazon.com or some other bookselling site.

 About 1/2 an hour ago I saw a warbler-sized bird foraging on the ground under 
 the trees in front of the parking spaces facing the pond at Cornell 
 Plantations. It was a pretty uniform brown on top and streaked brown below 
 with a yellow throat and yellow underside near the tail. The top of the head 
 was more of a reddish brown. It had a thin bill and wagged it's tail up and 
 down as it foraged. Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera with me.
 
 Ideas?
