[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park - terns and Red-throated Loon
Stewart Park was cold and rainy today late morning, as expected. Highlights were two (and a possible third) COMMON TERNS moving around offering occasional good looks and an adult RED-THROATED LOON straight out (eventually moving towards the east shore), looking odd in almost full winter plumage but with an all-dark bill. Not too many swallows around this morning, but yesterday morning I had a single BANK SWALLOW in with a the Tree-Barn-rough-winged flocks headed north from East Shore Park. I also met Bob McGuire and he said he had a transitional FORSTER'S TERN at Myers this morning that flew south, but we didn't come across it at Stewart while we were there. The scaup flock off the east end continues to grow, but I didn't pick out any other odd waterfowl. -- 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] Myers Friday AM
I spent a half hour at Myers this morning just after the rain began. As I had hoped, there were a few good birds on the spit: 8 Bonaparte's Gulls (still mainly in winter plumage) and a single Forster's Tern (molting: dark cap coming in, still with white forehead; dark orange bill w/black tip; bright white primary feathers - seen both at rest and in flight; no trace of dark carpal bar - to help rule out Common Tern). An Osprey was perched on a snag across the creek (Salt Point), and several dozen Tree, a few N Rough-winged , and a single Barn Swallow adorned the dripping branches of a creekside willow.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] raven
I have seen a single COMMON RAVEN in that area a couple of times recently, once flying north low alongside Pine Tree Rd by the Oxley Equestrian center at dawn, and once later in the day in the field opposite the end of Snyder Hill Rd stretching down to the East Ithaca Recreationway. I'm curious whether it's a young unmated bird or whether it's foraging while its mate tends a nest somewhere in the neighborhood. I wouldn't have guessed this as raven habitat, but then I'm not a raven.--Dave NutterOn Apr 12, 2013, at 07:42 AM, Ray Zimmerman r...@cornell.edu wrote:RAVEN about 7:30 flying over horse pastures on Pine Tree Rd toward East Hill Plaza.

[cayugabirds-l] Bohemian Waxwings - Northwood Apts., Lansing
Susan Newman and I just came across a flock of about 30 Bohemian Waxwings in the trees along the road just west of the Northwood Apts. off Warren Road. The trees are on the north side of the road on the border of the overgrown field that used to be a public pool many decades ago.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] raven
If anyone wants to observe Ravens come to my house. They have been nesting in the tall pines at the end of Yaple Rd(and King Rd.) for at least 2 years. I am a bit concerned they are going to go after my peaches, they certainly like my compost. Last summer there was a family hanging around, and I have seen more than 2 so far.
