[cayugabirds-l] Adolescent RT Hummingbird?

While out photographing birds this morning, I observed on three occasions the odd situation where a male RT Hummingbird was doing a mating display to a Chestnut-sided Warbler. Probably the same RT each time. Can’t decide if it is funny or pitiful. I guess they will display to anything that

I was at Arnot Forest from 1pm-4pm yesterday and did manage to hear and see a fair number of migrants, including FOY CANADA WARBLERS. Also found two beautiful SPRING SALAMANDERS in the creek. eBird list is below, but the best highlight was definitely having two LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSHES foraging

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard - 5 May 2012 (11 Warbler Species, plus 1 hybrid)

Today, I birded the Hawthorn Orchard (East Hill of Ithaca) from about 8:45am to 11:45am. For most of the time there, I was birding along with Matt Medler and his girlfriend Diane. Due to the relatively cold temperatures, it was fairly quiet until it warmed up and the warblers began to arrive.

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods

Short time from 7:30-9 this morning. Missed yesterday's larger number of warblers but there were still plenty of good birds and fellow birders to share them with. A small mixed flock of warblers flew through the trees just west of the Lab feeding station - caught a glimpse of Yellow-rumped,

Just to follow up since it hasn't been cross-posted: Friday at 1:21 pm EDT, Hawk Counter Kyle Wright spotted a Swallow-tailed Kite loosely traveling with Broad-winged Hawks over the South Lookout at Derby Hill. This is possibly the same bird that passed the Hamburg Hawk Watch on Wednesday

[cayugabirds-l] eBird Report - Cayuga Lake Basin, May 4, 2012-all day

Hi all, Yesterday, 5/4, my husband Ton Schat and I spent the day birding from around 4:30 am til 9 pm. We usually do a big day (all day out to see how many species we can see/hear) around the middle of May, but because migration has been so crazy this year, we decided to do a 'preliminary' big

My husband and I watched a pair of Bald Eagles transect back and forth along the Tiaghniouga River in Virgil, along Rt 11 today. We have seen them there before but today had beautiful looks as one of them perched along a snag for a while. Also had great views of Baltimore Orioles. Tina Phillips
