A number of people had Northern Parula today, so consider that, too.

Hi Karen,

Field Sparrow can give that impression, because its song too is delivered in 
accelerando, sometimes even with a slight rise in pitch. If you have the 
Audubon Birds app, you can compare Track #3 for both species to see what I mean.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Prairie Warbler question

2016-06-21 Thread John and Sue Gregoire
Hi Betsy,

I believe it is more than a generic "Prairie Warblers" but do believe they have
established territory and getting on with it. The lack of intense song and
territorial fighting among neotrops is, in my opinion, a direct reflection of
greatly reduced populations thanks to all the natural and man made hazards here 
and
in the tropics. We've been tracking this phenomena for 30 years now at this 
location
and the results are both remarkable and scary. The short answer to your 
question is
that there is no longer a need for prolonged territorial song battles in many 
areas
because of that reduced population. While you see it in your Prairies, we've 
seen it
in several species -all neotrops.

The ABC tends to agree with that analysis. Locally we have seen the extirpation 
of
many species thanks to modern agribusiness farming methods as they destroy 
hedgerows
and turn pasture into corn and alfalfa fields. Field species attempting to nest 
in
the undesirable alfalfa are lost due to the several takings of the crop over the
season. Add the slathering of liquid manure slurry between harvests and it's 
not a
pretty picture.

I'd love to hear other opinions on this and thanks for surfacing it.

Best,
John

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Prairie Warbler question

2016-06-21 Thread Geo Kloppel
So quickly time flies, and spring turns to summer. More and more warblers are 
feeding nestlings and even fledglings now. Some birds have already begun their 
second broods.
