[cayugabirds-l] A couple more goodies for me yesterday
Such a busy birdy day, that after my noon time adventures previously reported, I went back out at 4pm (3pm bird time) to walk the dog and watch the skies some more. While we were out, a couple dozen TURKEY VULTURES came off their now familiar roost in the Asbury pines and started circling around. I swear they like to come check me out as much I do them: they fly really low over my yard and have gotten somewhat more accustomed to staying on trees ringing my yard if I don't make too much fuss playing with the dog. I probably should shower more often. Anyway, I was factoring 'large group of big low swirling birds' out of my search image when suddenly one of them was not a TUVU: it was a GREAT BLUE HERON who had appeared from southward. The GBHE also circled 3 times around the yard/house, about 50' higher than the TUVUs giving great looks at this elegant flyer, then it glanced at the creek, but moved off northward (there are nicer ponds there). FOY for me for a yard GBHE and the longest one has ever spent overhead here; they are usually flying purposefully from one watering hole to another. Martha wondered if it was checking our weathervane which sports a copper GBHE as the ornament. I stayed out a while longer and was finally rewarded with a vee of 40 SNOW GEESE (this time I counted), the only ones I saw all day. These were also the first visual I had on these guys as a yard bird, though I had counted them before listening to their barks during prior migrations at night. __ Chris Pelkie Research Analyst Bioacoustics Research Program Cornell Lab of Ornithology 159 Sapsucker Woods Road Ithaca, NY 14850 -- 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] Radar showing diurnal migration...
There was a massive nocturnal migratory movement last night to follow yesterday's great day. South winds will continue today and the radar continues to show widespread bird echoes persisting well after sunrise. It was interesting as around sunrise the echoes decreased for a while...and now they have pick up again. A transition from nocturnal to diurnal migrants??? Although we know the geese just keep going all day and night. Could be another great day. Good luck out there...

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club meeting, tonight!
Hi all, Nick Mason will be the speaker for tonight's Cayuga Bird Club Meeting at the Lab of Ornithology. The meeting starts at 7:30 and Nick's talk will follow around 8 pm. All are welcome! March 11, 2013 Cayuga Bird Club Meeting Speaker: Nick Mason, PhD Student, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University Title: Complex colors and simple songs? Exploring evolutionary relationships between plumage, vocalizations and habitat in tanagers (Thraupidae) Tanagers are renowned for their bright, colorful plumage but are regarded by most field guides as 'poor songsters'. The idea of an evolutionary 'trade-off' between song and plumage dates to the days of Darwin, however, empirical evidence for this trend remains scarce. In this talk, PhD student Nick Mason will discuss his master's thesis on the newly redefined tanagers with respect to the relationship between song and plumage elaboration and the habitats in which they are expressed.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hammond Hill State Forest migration watch
It's interesting to think that our coverage was so good in the Ithaca area that multiple groups were encountering the same birds. At Mount Pleasant, we had 2 NORTHERN PINTAIL in a large Canada flock shortly after 1 PM, and these were likely the same birds that passed over Hammond at 12:50. Then, there were 3 CACKLING GEESE together in another flock about 15 minutes later, so again possibly one of the same flocks. Definitely no good finches or shrikes, though!

As others have noted, there was an amazing flight of waterfowl throughout Tompkins County and beyond. This flight was strongly dominated by Canada Geese. I was curious how much of a concentrating effect Cayuga Lake had for the geese Would there still be some out to the east or if were they headed toward Cayuga Lake. The numbers of geese were just as high at Hammond Hill as Jessie and I had seen from Monkey Run earlier in the day. In comparing numbers with Luke Seitz and others watching from Cornell campus, it seemed that we recorded very close to the same number of birds. While some of these birds may have been the same, the great majority were probably different suggesting a very broad front given others reported similar numbers in Trumansburg. It would be fun to organize several different stations in the Finger Lakes (and beyond) the next time we have such a flight on a weekend. Jessie Barry and Jeff Gerbracht joined me for part of the time I was here and helped me find much more than I would have done on my own. Highlights included 8 Golden Eagles, 1 PINE GROSBEAK, 1 Northern Shrike, 1 White-winged Crossbill and at least 24 Evening Grosbeaks. Waterfowl made up the bulk of the show: 297 Snow Goose, 26575 Canada Geese, 13 Cackling Geese, 1 Tundra Swan, 1 Wood Duck, 2 Northern Pintail A complete checklist with some photos can be found at the link below.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Question about lower lake road
Those two factors (shallow water, ice shelf) are related; ice forms soonest and lingers longest over the shallows. Aquatic ecology (hence exploitable food resources) are also influenced by depth. And of course the north end of the lake is surrounded by marshes and agricultural lands that offer forage whenever the snow cover does not prevent it. The winter draw-down of lake level makes the shallows even shallower, almost like a tidal area. -Geo Kloppel On Mar 11, 2013, at 8:58 AM, John VanNiel vanni...@flcc.edu wrote: There was also an ice shelf there to loaf on... -Original Message- From: bounce-75479805-3493...@list.cornell.edu [mailto:bounce-75479805-3493...@list.cornell.edu] On Behalf Of Geo Kloppel Sent: Monday, March 11, 2013 8:06 AM To: cayugabirds-l Subject: Re: [cayugabirds-l] Question about lower lake road I imagine a number of factors contribute to the attractive power of that area.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Question about lower lake road

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Question about lower lake road
There are also different factors at play with different species and different individuals of the same species. Some, like Northern Pintail, American Black Duck, Mallard were waiting to be able to forage in fields (say at the Mucklands). So they tend to concentrate at the north end and then make flights up to those fields to see if there are areas to forage. Tundra Swans and Snow Geese do similar things (forage in muck). Snow Geese are shot at right now, so they stay out more toward the middle of the lake. Aythya (Redhead, scaup) dive for food. As the lake opens in the spring, they follow the ice edge as it reveals foraging areas that were impossible to reach earlier in the year. So you have optimal staging for daily movements in some species, optimal foraging for others, migration staging for others compounded with the advantages of flocking for predator avoidance. All this leads to some very large concentrations with exceptional diversity at the north end of the lake in spring -- concentrations and levels of diversity that you never see at the south end at any season.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Question about lower lake road
Yes, marshes and agricultural land is important. In addition to the rafts of waterfowl on the lake near Lower Lake Road, there were large congregations--mostly snows--on the mucklands around Savannah yesterday (3/10). The western shore of the lake is also in the more protected, windward side.

[cayugabirds-l] Tree Swallow
There was a single Tree Swallow flying over the (mostly frozen) Main Pool at Montezuma yesterday (Sunday) afternoon about 2:00. Just one, not a flock. By Sunday afternoon, many of the Snow Geese seemed to have moved to the Mucklands (around 3:00). I estimated 100,000, but who knows when the numbers are that large. They covered the cornfields from Puddler's Marsh to a half-mile north of Rt. 31. And there was a large flock (2-3000) at Carncross Road. No Sandhill Crane visible.

[cayugabirds-l] Tree swallow 1,000s of geese on Sun.
David Gooding mentioned seeing a tree swallow yesterday. That confirms what I thought I saw but figured it was too early. Just seems to me there is no confusion about that flight pattern or the bird shape but I didn't want to admit the real possibility. I should go check down by the lake or Mill pond today since small insects are flying about. Yesterday was a fantastic day to be outdoors here in Union Springs, to see in every direction, including UP, the almost endless flights of thousands of geese, mostly Canadas. Even with binox some flights were so high Becky I could barely see them. Snow geese came late in the day, many migrating very, very high but some were low heading to the lake. This a.m. she had hundreds of snows in a farm field just down the road from her house. The majority of geese were coming from the SSE heading NNW. SSE winds were very strong I watched 2 geese facing due west, not flapping at all, being swept NNW. Sometimes not a bird in a flock would flap their wings for long distances. About 5:30 p.m. I saw the first 5 of what I believe are members of the Union Springs turkey vulture family. We've had 15-17 down by the lake for the last several yrs.. We also saw 3 different size hawks here. One was a sharpie in the choke cherry tree. It left hungry. A trip to Sodus Oswego on Sat. afternoon yielded few birds but what a gorgeous day to be out!! Oswego River the harbor there at Sodus, as well as Lake Ontario were the calmest we have ever seen. We did still see lots of white winged scoters both places.
