[cayugabirds-l] E. Grosbeaks, Rough-legs, Bohemian Waxwing and Summer Tanager
Hello all, A quick run through Scott to Summerhill this morning yielded scattered small numbers of PINE SISKINS, a FEW flyover EVENING GROSBEAKS (Summerhill), 1 COOPER'S HAWK (Scott), 2 Red-tailed Hawks, afew HORNED LARKS, and 2 ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS near Lick St and Hoag Summerhill --one dark and one light morph. The light morph actually vocalized 3 times. In all my years seeing Rough-legs, I've never heard them vocalize or heard of anyone else talk about hearing them vocalize on their wintering grounds. The bird flew right over me vocalizing. Around 2:30 Dave McCartt and I heard the BOHEMIAN WAXWING near the lobby feeders at the Lab of O. We heard the bird well at least 4 times over a minute. We could not locate the bird though --there were lots of waxwings flying about on both sides of the pond. The SUMMER TANAGER was seen off and on all day in McGraw. cheers, Matt mail2web.com What can On Demand Business Solutions do for you? http://link.mail2web.com/Business/SharePoint -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Red-throated Loon south of Sheldrake Point
Late this afternoon I made another unsuccessful try for the Pacific Loon. However I did find a juvenile RED-THROATED LOON feeding close to shore south of Sheldrake Point between #7490 #7504. The view was not easy due to willows and a boathouse. The bird spent the great majority of the time underwater, and even when it was briefly on the surface it often had its face in the water. And it's not the best place to pull over. Nonetheless this was one of my better sightings of this species. With luck it will remain attached to this location. I also saw about 90 COMMON LOONS from the corner of County Roads 141 153, most of them fairly close together and feeding. They also frequently looked underwater from the surface. Despite multiple scans of this group I saw no unusual loons. From Sheldrake Point park I saw 2 female BLACK SCOTERS. Early this morning I checked out the east shore opposite Sheldrake, from 3.5 miles down Honoco Rd to Long Point State Park and also only saw COMMON LOONS, plus a few AMERICAN BLACK DUCKS and MALLARDS and some RING-BILLED and HERRING GULLS. From the cliff south of Aurora I saw 7 LESSER SCAUP, some CANADA GEESE, more COMMON LOONS, one HORNED GREBE, and on the delta of Paine's Creek one KILLDEER. In the field next to the clifftop viewing area were several AMERICAN PIPITS. On my drive south on NYS 90 almost to the Triangle Diner I saw a light ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK perched in a tree.
Re: [cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park
There has also been a WINTER WREN hanging out at the swan pen the last two mornings. Yesterday this sprightly little ball of pent-up joy was bouncing around the east side of the pen, occasionally dropping to the grass to forage. This morning it chattered loudly in response to a second Winter Wren that was calling from the jetty woods. I also saw the adult BALD EAGLE back on its snag this morning, for the first time since November 5th.

Aside from many Canada Geese, there was a group of 30 BUFFLEHEAD, a group of 20 RUDDY DUCKS, 4-5 COMMON MERGANSERS, 30+ COOT, a small group of SCAUP sp as well as hundreds of MALLARDS. On the jetty were many gulls, including at least 10 GREAT BLACKBACKED GULLS, as well as 5-8 CORMORANTS.
