[cayugabirds-l] Caspian Terns
Please take a very close look at any CATEs sighted in this area. A colleague has banded and color marked (tarsus) several in Canada. He has used yellow and red bands. Particularly interested in the yellow bands as those birds have GPS tags. Photos, exact location, time and date would be helpful. Lots of Tree Swallows yesterday apparently heading south.

If there is a list member willing to help id an insect for me, I'd appreciate it. The little guys get in the track of the screens on my windows and leave an egg case (I guess, it's a brown papery thingy), which hatch to a small lime green nymph-like creature with wings. Very intriguing..

The seven juvenile Western Willets were still on the white lighthouse jetty at 10:30. Also, two Forster's Terms were flying around and perched on some buoys off Stewart Park when the heavy rain came. Semipalmated and Least sandpipers along the shore of Hogs Hole too. Myers point has several Semipalmated Sandpipers but nothing else of note so far.

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Off TOPIC Need help with insect id
A HUGE thank you to all who responded to my plea for help. With Meena Haribal's help, we decided that we have grass-carrying wasps packing nesting material in my windows and bringing Drumming Katydid nymphs which make an instant food source for their larvae when they hatch. I found this all amazing. If you'd like more info, take a look at this blog, which has a full explanation: http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2012/07/03/paralyzed-ensiferan-nymphs-found-in-n est/ Again, my thanks to all, Mona Bearor So Glens Falls, NY -Original Message- From: Mona Bearor [mailto:conservebi...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, August 05, 2012 9:33 AM To: 'cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu' Subject: Off TOPIC Need help with insect id If there is a list member willing to help id an insect for me, I'd appreciate it.

[cayugabirds-l] Fall Creek around Flat Rocks
Hi all, Today I spent a couple of hours on Fall Creek trying to get American Rubyspot, a beautiful damselfly found only on Fall Creek in Central New York. But during that period, I heard and saw many species of birds, especially there was a small mixed hunting flock consisting of BC Chickadees, Tufted Titmouse (with teacher teach dialect), two young or female Am. redstarts, Eastern Wood Peewees, probably a family, a young Baltimore Oriole, a joint families of Cedar Waxwings hawking for insects. There was a pair of Kingfishers that fished crayfish, which seemed abundant in the creek as I disturbed hundreds when I walked. some were beautiful blue-gray colored. I also saw couple more species of warblers, just bare glimpses, it was hard to lift binoculars with one hand stuck around my neck and camera strap and camera and umbrella in another hand. There was also a singing Indigo Bunting nearby and a Great Blue Heron and a Ring-billed Gulls seemed to be crayfishing together as they stood next to each other. I guess each of them was helping other. As there was a talk on insects today on the list serve, I thought I would let people know what we found for last week's National Moth week. We found nearly 200 or may be more species of moths aka bird food. We had a very good turn out, with lots of very young kids interested, Nearly 60 people showed up at various events. Also it may be interesting to know, most of the moth-ers were bird watchers. If you are keen on knowing what we found, here is a link to moths seen at various locations during the moth week. https://picasaweb.google.com/home?hl=entab=wq Cheers Meena PS: If you are curious minded and want to know what an American Rubyspot is, here is a link to the video I took. http://youtu.be/kQbIEEfzLH0 Best is watch in HD settings.

[cayugabirds-l] Kingbirds
On a casual evening dog walk up (little) Gully Road north of Aurora, I saw the usual clusters of robins and bluebirds, and a cluster of kingbirds - probably 5 to 7 or more - chipping sparrows aplenty, a house finch or two, a flicker, drumming and calling. The birds were concentrated about a mile east of the McKenzie-Childs south driveway, where pastures flank the gully. -- 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/ --
