Thank you, Laura. That was a cool first for me. I just went out with binoculars for about 5 minutes and saw 3 birds passing in front of the moon! On Sat, Sep 18, 2021 at 4:11 PM Laura Stenzler wrote: > Birdcast has a migration alert for tonight and tomorrow night for Ithaca. > Check it out

[cayugabirds-l] Migration This Evening/Overnight?

Today, I was doing some survey work out in Steuben County. The weather was not great. Clouds, patchy fog, steady winds out of the east or northeast all day. Still, around mid-day, magic happened. Visible migration happened in a big way. Literally thousands of American Robins swept in, low and

Hello All Cayugabirders, Please come to Migration Celebration this coming Saturday at the Lab of Ornithology, 9 to 4. The Cayuga Bird Club will have a table and we'd love for you to stop by to help out or at least say, "hi". Also, I now have details for the first of our upcoming trips

[cayugabirds-l] Migration

Hi All, Fall migration is starting to pick up. Within the last few days, I have had in my yard Nashville Warbler, Scarlet Tanager, Veery, Red-eyed Vireo and several other species that don't nest in my yard. I always have loved August. Even as a kid growing up on a farm in south-central PA, I

[cayugabirds-l] Migration, migrants, hummingbirds

I haven't been doing as much birding or traveling for birding this spring as in previous years, so my sampling is sparse, but here goes: I heard Blackpoll Warblers from plenty of random places over a goodly span of time, so they did not strike me as missing, nor late, nor rare. I only went to

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Migration floodgates to open Tuesday Night-Wednesday night???

Certainly did last night here. We added Green Heron, Indigo Bunting, Wood Thrush, Black and White Warbler and Black-billed cuckoo. Looking at our 31 year norms, most of these were 9 days late. On the 11th we had Black-throated Green, Least Flycatcher, Blue-winged Warbler and Red-eyed Video all

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Migration Video and question

Hi Pete, It's a global cycle, so the farther one goes from the equator in _either_ direction the greater the amplitude becomes. That just increases the salience of the cycling rate of change in photoperiod for any migrants that completely transit the tropics to spend our winter in the

[cayugabirds-l] Migration Video and question

Folks...I have a spring migration question and wonder if anyone out there can help. I understand that the lengthening days ignites hormonal responses in birds and, among other things, encourages "migratory restlessness" - an "itch" to begin their respective journeys north. But how does

Lots of geese still coming over Ithaca now bit all Canadas. In the late afternoon many flocks of 100-200 SNOW GEESE, totaling 2300, passed over Bluegrass Lane in NE Ithaca - I picked out a single, very all ROSS's among the flocks. Ken Sent from my iPhone On Mar 24, 2015, at 11:15 PM, Dave

There are massive blooms of departing migrants on regional radar now (past hour up to 7:13 PM). I've never seen animated weather maps so dense with apparent bird activity. Maybe Red-winged Blackbirds? Today at the Freese Road gardens I found eight sparrow species -- Song, Savannah, Swamp,

I listened to and recorded a portion of last night's migration over Snyder Hill. From 8:30 to 9:30 and again from 5:00 - 6:20 this morning. The vast majority of the calls were thrushes, Swainson's predominating and a couple of Gray-cheeked thrown in. There were assorted warbler/sparrow calls

[cayugabirds-l] Migration Tonight!

Just a heads-up that there may be a notable movement of birds southward from Canada and other areas to the North of us. If anyone wants to try for it, there could be a good thrush descent between about 5:40am and 6:00am, with the bulk occurring around 5:50-5:55am. As the thrushes descend from

I've been looking at the weather maps charts. It's calm enough overnight for some migration, but Saturday will be the first day in many that we'll have south winds in the daytime. I'm betting on terns, scoters, swallows, and raptors to be moving through in big numbers.--Dave Nutter --
