[cayugabirds-l] Interesting call
Hi all, On Tuesday, along Tower Road near Dairy bar, I heard a song, a 3 note trill and ending with down slurred tseew or some times two tseews coming from the pines. I think it is a Junco variation. I recorded with my cell phone video, so it is not a great quality. It is on the youtube at this link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRzhu8IhdB8 You have to increase the volume on your computer a bit to hear it well. Can anyone think of what it is? I appreciate everyone's opinion. Yesterday evening when I was getting to my house, an Osprey flew over my house towards Six Miles creek. That could be another great location for Ospreys to nest. I hope they do!

[cayugabirds-l] Merlin
Had a MERLIN perched for about a minute at the very top of a snag at the edge of my pond on Burns Road in Brooktondale about 7:30 this morning. It flew off to the northwest. Also this morning, a RUFFED GROUSE was drumming off to the south. And EASTERN BLUEBIRDS are checking out one of the nestboxes in my yard.

About 15 minutes ago I stepped out of our house on Vine St. (off Mitchell) and was very surprised to hear a RAVEN calling. Are there more than one??

[cayugabirds-l] grebes, warblers, etc.
I spent the late morning and much of the afternoon at Newman Golf Course, the Cornell Biological Field Station (aka Jetty Woods), the whtie lighthouse, Renwick Sanctuary, and Stewart Park.I think the biggest story was the number of grebes. In a single scan from the white lighthouse I saw 31 HORNED, 2 RED-NECKED, and 3 PIED-BILLEDGREBES. Both Red-necked and most of the Horned were far to the north to northwest), but several Horned and the Pied-billeds were close to shore at Stewart. Late in the afternoon from the west end of Stewart I also saw what I believe was an EARED GREBE still in winter plumage south of East Shore Park. It had a small head, a straight vertical neck, no brown only shades of gray, and a lighter mark below and up behind the cheek. There were lots of variations on the theme of molting Horned Grebes, but I don't think this bird was one of them.The Aythya flock now has several dozen REDHEADS, a few RING-NECKED DUCKS, and 1 female GREATER SCAUP in addition to lots of LESSER SCAUP. The 3 RUDDY DUCKS are still present, now with AMERICAN COOTS along the east shore.In Renwick I saw 1 winter YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, and at the swan pond I saw 4 more, including 2 males in breeding plumage.I also saw a GREEN HERON along the edge of Renwick by the lagoon which borders Stewart.In the golf course I found my first PURPLE FINCH, a male singing from the top of a tree.TREE, BARN, and NORTHERN ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOWS foraged variously over the Cayuga Lake, Fall Creek and the swan pond. By the base of the red lighthouse were 3 CASPIAN TERNS and a small crowd of DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS. I saw only the usual 3 gull species.An EASTERN PHOEBE foraged near the green suspension bridge over Fall Creek.--Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! --

At around 1 PM on Saturday, I heard a WINTER WREN singing at Cass Park by Union Fields F8. Then in Sapsucker Woods at about 4:30 PM, I found two HERMIT THRUSHES together with two Eastern Phoebes at the intersection of the Severinghaus and Wilson Trails, plus a FIELD SPARROW by Kip's Barn.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] grebes, warblers, sparrows, snipe, etc.
In addition to seeing Dave Nutter at the end of the lighthouse jetty, I had nearly identical counts as Dave did from Stewart Park shortly after noon today — only my count of HORNED GREBES was even higher than Dave's, as I counted at least 56 including many along the east shore that Dave might not have been able to see. In addition to the 2 RED-NECKED GREBES and several COMMON LOONS, I also had a pair of LONG-TAILED DUCKS fly in from the north and circle back across the south end of the lake. There seemed to be lots of other birds grounded today as well. JUNCOs were everywhere throughout my neighborhood, in small flocks on lawns and driveways. I saw a HERMIT THRUSH and a FOX SPARROW in the woods between Tareyton Park and Arrowwood Drive, as well as a flock of 12 GOLDEN-CROWNED and 1 RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET. While walking my dog in the fields along Bluegrass Lane in the late afternoon, we flushed at least 32 WILSON'S SNIPE from the wet muddy fields — there were at least 24 in the air at once, and others continued to flush making it very hard to get an accurate count. There could well have been over 50 birds. Also lots of sparrows along the wooded edge of the fields, including 1 VESPER, 1 FOX, 10 SAVANNAH, 1 FIELD, 1 AM TREE, and 2 CHIPPING SPARROWS — the latter 3 were in the same bush for an amazing Spizella trifecta.

[cayugabirds-l] Saturday birding in and out of the Basin
Hi all, Livia and I started out in Dryden this morning but ended up going around the lake. Highlights were EVENING GROSBEAKS at the Confers on Hammond Hill; the beautiful and cooperative AMERICAN AVOCET along the lakeshore in Geneva (photos soon), along with Red-necked Grebe, Surf and White-winged scoter, Bonaparte's Gulls, and many Common and one Forster's tern offshore from the same area; 2 UPLAND SANDPIPERS at the Empire Farm Days fairgrounds in Seneca Falls (don't forget they still would like birders to call ahead); a mostly winter plumage AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER with many Pectoral Sandpipers, both yellowlegs, and dozens of Bonaparte's Gulls in the Kip Island Fields, the flooded fields on either side of the thruway visible from Rt. 90 just west of the village of Montezuma. Waterfowl diversity was good most of the places we went, including Montezuma, but we didn't find anything other than the usual species there. A gray fox running across Warren Road on the drive home was a nice surprise as well.
