[cayugabirds-l] Lansing and Sapsucker Woods, Thursday AM
A small flock of warblers, including a Blackburnian, a Nashville, and several Yellow-rumped outside my apartment in Lansing this morning seemed to portend a busy morning for migrants, in addition to the local Blue-Winged Warbler on territory, and numerous newly-arrived Wood Thrushes also actively singing, but a loop around the Wilson Trail at Sapsucker Woods from 7:45 to 8:30 didn't produce much migrant activity at all. Many newly arrived Sapsucker Woods breeders were singing away on territory though, and that was very nice to see. My eBird checklist for Sapsucker Woods is below.

[cayugabirds-l] migrant Red-breasted Nuthatches?
Hi everyone, I know that everyone's exuberantly welcoming the return of all of the spring migrant species this week, but has anyone else noticed Red-breasted Nuthatches in places where they normally are not? I'm asking because I did a long walk through Sapsucker Woods this morning on my way to work, and I heard Red-breasted Nuthatches at 3 different locations where I have been regularly making counts for the last 9 months and where I have either never or only once before heard or seen this species. This makes me wonder if we haven't had a minor influx of R.B. Nuthatches flying in with all of the other species...

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard, May 3:
I'm confessing that I officially love the Hawthorn Orchard during migration ! I've only been able to get there in late afternoon yesterday and today, but still had 46 and 51 total species with 15 different Warblers. I missed some warblers, like Orange-crowned and Ovenbird, so 20+ warbler species are possible on one walk around. What's cool is that on every loop around you can see and hear different birds. Evan, Dave and Jay have pretty much summed up what's there. The only birds I can add today are Green Heron, Broad-winged Hawk, Bald Eagle and Osprey.

[cayugabirds-l] Yellow-Headed Blackbird
I happened to be in Endicott earlier this evening and decided to stop by the marsh to try to see the yellow-headed blackbird again (after being unsuccessful at trying to find it on Sunday afternoon). When I arrived, Jeff Gerbracht and kids had already done a great job of locating it. Great clear views on this gorgeous sunny day... was glad to see it was still around.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard, May 3:
Not to detract in any way from the spectacularly magnetic Hawthorn Orchard, but I too found 15 warbler species today, without moving more than 1000 feet from my house, and probably could have made it 20 without leaving the greater West Danby area. There are lots of birds around! -Geo -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] 2012 Cayuga Lake Basin arrivals list is updated
I think I've got the list up-to-date of what species have been found in the Cayuga Lake Basin so far in 2012:http://www.cayugabirdclub.org/Resources/cayuga-lake-basin-first-recordsThis includes the huge influx of birds over the past 3 days of south winds after so many days of north winds. In case you don't see some of those birds listed on those days, note that several species in the influx had already been found, such as Least Sandpiper, Black Tern, Cliff Swallow, and Orange-crowned Warbler.The reported Yellow Rail was outside the Basin to the north. Rather than try to sort out which was first among multiple reports on a given dayof a new species, I am including the those multiple sites, which is an indicator of a sudden wave of birds arriving, as opposed to a single pioneer being discovered. I felt obliged to add a special note about the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds all showing up at feeders in the evening. That is fascinating! Did the people only look then? Did the birds only go to the feeders then? Or was it really such a well-defined front of hummingbirds that so many arrived within a couple hours?Some of the species in the list did not get much publicity: Brant, Little Blue Heron, Semipalmated Plover, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Alder Flycatcher, Veery, Canada Warbler, but dedicated eBirders have found them.Please let me know if there are other species you know of that have been found, or if you've heard of credible earlier reports in or near the Cayuga Lake Basin. The border is tricky in places, but I'm willing to try to figure which side a report is from. It'll probably be a few days before I can do as thorough an update, though.--Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! --
