[cayugabirds-l] City Hall sharp-shinned hawk is back in hunting territory
In early December, we had several days of excellent sightings of the sharp-shinned hawk that has been hunting sparrows in the yew bushes on the east side of Ithaca City Hall. The bird disappeared for a few weeks, but was just sighted again. Stop by Autumn Leaves Used Books and check with Joe for updates. Last month, you could watch the hawk from about 5 feet away through a gap in the branches as it ate its meals. -- 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] Orange-cr. Warbler Ithaca Community Garden
I'm sorry for not posting the details on this bird earlier, but yesterday during the Ithaca CBC, I found a fairly bright ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER in the Community Garden south of Farmer's Market in Ithaca. I flushed it initially with a flock of juncos from the south end of the garden on the east side of the entrance road -- the garden still is (was) pretty green with vegetable leaves and weeds. The bird sat up in the brush pile just south of the garden boundary, and then flew off to the south. Later in the afternoon, Tim Lenz relocated the warbler along the weedy edge of the field to the south of the garden, closer to the CITGO station. This was a first record for the long-running Ithaca CBC, but exactly the kind of bird I was hoping to find with the lingering warm weather and greenery. Good luck to anyone hoping to re-find this bird, especially as the first cold blast of winter weather is approaching KEN Ken Rosenberg Conservation Science Program Cornell Lab of Ornithology 607-254-2412 607-342-4594 (cell) k...@cornell.edu -- 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/ --
Re: [cayugabirds-l] Orange-cr. Warbler Ithaca Community Garden
I spent over an hour in and around the community gardens on Rt 13 this morning, accompanied some of the time by Dave Nutter and Paul Anderson. We did not re-find the Orange-crowned Warbler. Here's hoping that it took advantage of a calm evening and managed to escape south. In the area, though, I scared up a Carolina Wren, Northern Mockingbird, and Song Sparrow.

[cayugabirds-l] East Hill Northern Shrike
This afternoon at about 1:00pm, while running errands on the last day of our holiday break, Diane and I spotted what looked like an Adult NORTHERN SHRIKE (no binocs) perched atop a small tree in the yard to the South of the HSBC Bank located at the Mitchell Street/Ellis Hollow Road and Judd Falls Road/Pine Tree Road light. This was immediately opposite the WVBR Radio Station at 957 Mitchell Street. The bird stayed atop that small tree for a few minutes, then flew to the NW about 50 yards to another small tree closer to the stand of White Pines at the back entrance to Rite Aid. After a few more minutes, the bird flew again to the NW to the more scrubby back lot to the NW of the Rite Aid building (near where the old Courtside Fitness Center parking used to be), which is where we left it when we had to get going. Maybe this bird will stick around the way some of the others have been doing. Good luck and good birding! Sincerely, Chris T-H -- Christopher T.
