[cayugabirds-l] Myers Point, Lansing - 5 August
Cayugabirders, I stopped by Myers Point on Cayuga Lake in Lansing early this morning. A Pectoral Sandpiper and a Lesser Yellowlegs were feeding in the puddles on the lawn and a Greater Yellowlegs flew by. It would be interesting to know if anything stopped in with the passage of the front.

Of course I can't say for sure what brought it in, but we had an unexpected GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET this morning. Haven't seen any of these since spring migration. David McCartt Tubbs Hill Rd.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Wood thrush bonanza
Larry, When I did research on Wood Thrushes in central NY, I did hear this type of performance, and, if I recall correctly, particularly in the evening. I'm not sure what inspires that type of vocalization, though. I miss hearing Wood Thrush in good numbers like that.

They were in the area between the water tank and the gazebo. I'm assuming these are local birds, which would be indicative of an excellent breeding season up there on the hill. One bird in particular fascinated me. It continuously went through a most impressive repertoire of what might be called guitar twanging. Most were single notes with occasional doublets, and every once in awhile it would briefly throw in the normal flute song. I stood there for a good 15 minutes enthralled by this bird's musical outpouring. I have never before heard a thrush perform like this. Has anyone else experienced a thrush doing this? Larry -- W.

[cayugabirds-l] Song-Field Sparrow Hybrid?
For the past couple weeks or so around our property I've been hearing a SONG SPARROW singing a darn good imitation of a FIELD SPARROW song. It continuously sings this song and only occasionally lets out with the normal song sparrow song. Has anyone else heard a song sparrow doing this? If not, perhaps I should get my hands on a parabolic recorder and make a recording of it for the Library of Natural Sounds. I have to chuckle thinking that this bird is so pleased with itself and its new-found song that it just has to keep singing out for all the world to hear! Larry -- W.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Song-Field Sparrow Hybrid?
Song Sparrows have been known to include sounds they hear into their own songs. For a couple of years after we had Clay-colored Sparrows here, there was a Song Sparrow that incorporated the Clay-colored song into its own. Someone's done research on the topic, but I don't remember who.

[cayugabirds-l] hummers and downies
At a friend's place this afternoon--hummingbirds sharing their feeder with a couple of Downy Woodpeckers. Didn't know that sort of thing could happen. Rather neat to watch.
