[cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler, etc.
Thanks for all the tips on finding a Mourning Warbler for our out-of-region guests (Department of Defense Partners in Flight group). Given our time constraints, I went with 8-yr old intel from my Atlasing days, and headed up to the top of Tehan Rd. at the edge of Yellow Barn State Forest. Sure enough, a MOURNING WARBLER was singing along the power-line cut as soon as we got out of the van. With just a little coaxing from my iPhone, the warbler flew up into a small tree and sang in the open -- a life bird for folks as far away as Arizona and Alaska. On a short walk into Yellow Barn on Signal Tower Rd. we had other common forest breeders, but many things are still not in -- no Wood Pewees, only 1 Veery,etc. Yesterday evening, we took the group up to the top of Mt. Pleasant to listen for night flight calls, and although it was surprisingly quiet after dusk, we did hear 2 BLACK-BILLED CUCKOOS and a nice AMERICAN BITTERN that called 4 times as it flew directly overhead. Back at home later in the evening, I heard a few thrushes and 2 SOLITARY SANDPIPERS in 30 minutes of listening.

[cayugabirds-l] Acadian Flycatcher
An ACADIAN FLYCATCHER was singing in its usual gorge on Ford Hill Road in Lansing this morning. We also had Louisiana Waterthrush, Northern Parula, Blackpoll Warbler, Tennessee Warbler, Hooded Warbler, and Magnolia Warbler there. Myers Point was pretty quiet and lake levels have drastically reduced shorebird habitat there. A male ORCHARD ORIOLE was singing from the tall spruce as you cross the railroad tracks, mostly in adult plumage with chestnut breast and belly but with greenish sides, so perhaps a second-year male. Not too many migrants around Sapsucker Woods this morning either, but I did hear Blackpoll, Tennessee, Magnolia, and Wilson's warblers, and Brad had a Canada Warbler at the powerline cut. A YELLOW-THROATED VIREO was being very vocal on the Wilson Trail, and the immature male ORCHARD ORIOLE is still singing constantly from the same spot as yesterday. -Jay -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology jw...@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/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard - 16 May 2012 - Quiet - Ad. Male Orchard Oriole
This morning, I was at the Hawthorn Orchard, giving it a little more time, from 7:30am to 8:45am. It was dreadfully quiet; however, a single singing adult male ORCHARD ORIOLE made up for that. This bird was frequenting the trees and bushes along the West side of the South Rugby Field (West of the Oxley Equestrian Center on Pine Tree Road). My thought is that the first hatching of the food resource (Tortricid sp. Leaf-roller larvae) may have become depleted early on this year, or perhaps were affected by the early warming followed by some hard freezes. Though, lots of spiders now. Other birds included: 1 high flying Great Blue Heron 1 Green Heron (on nest, SW area of Hawthorn Orchard) 1 Ruby-throated Hummingbird flyby 2 Warbling Vireos (near peeper pond, in vicinity of Orchard Oriole) 1 Red-eyed Vireo (singing in tall oak tree at NW corner of Hawthorn Orchard) 1 SWAINSON'S THRUSH (silently foraging up in hawthorns about middle-Northern portion of Hawthorn Orchard) ZERO Wood Thrush 1 TENNESSEE WARBLER (singing in immediate vicinity of Orchard Oriole) 2 Yellow Warblers (near stream that runs along South edge of the pasture, South of H.O.) 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler (calling from top of tall oak tree along East edge of H.O.) 1 BLACKPOLL WARBLER (foraging and singing from treetops of little wooded knoll area just South of same stream where Yellow Warblers were) 1 American Redstart (adult male, singing near tall oak tree along East edge of H.O.) 1 HOODED WARBLER (heard producing repeated chink notes in SW area of H.O., evaded me and did not respond to pishing) 1 Scarlet Tanager (female, flyover) 1 White-throated Sparrow (single song, middle of H.O.) 1 Indigo Bunting (flight note, high flyover) 1 Eastern Meadowlark 1 Baltimore Oriole 1 ORCHARD ORIOLE (see above notes) Good birding!

[cayugabirds-l] Jelly Eaters
Just had two new guests on the grape jelly feeders. There was a robin, which wasn't a surprise since they are fruit eaters, and a male House Sparrow. I added oranges to the top of a suet feeder like someone else said that they did, but still no takers. So far on the grape jelly have been tons of House Finches, Catbirds, and an occasional B. Oriole. Last year the male Oriole was here constantly. The Hummingbird has become a more frequent visitor and I just saw him displaying over my gardens.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Yellow-throated Warbler song question
I listened to the YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER for awhile this morning singing from the Sycamore grove along Pier Road, and I saw it as well to confirm. It sounded a bit different than yesterday. I don't know if that was due to the environment or proximity or the bird's enthusiasm at different times of day or something about my own mental state. Anyway it sounded more like:tu tu tu TEE-TU TEE-TU TEE-TU TEE-TU TEE-Tu tyuThe sound is not the rich slurred notes of a Baltimore Oriole, but instead higher and thinner and thus more obviously a warbler.It varied between 4 and 7 of the TEE-TU pairs of notes. The quieter introductory and final notes were sometimes hard to hear among the many other singers in the area, but the TEE-TU notes cut through loud clear. The ending was also a bit variable, but I never heard it give a rising final note like the birds I've heard in New Jersey.--Dave NutterOn May 15, 2012, at 10:53 PM, Dave Nutter nutter.d...@me.com wrote:This afternoon (15 May) I went to Pier Road beside Newman Golf Course and also across Fall Creek in Renwick Wildwood.
