[cayugabirds-l] Nashville still

2013-05-08 Thread Geo Kloppel
Nothing new around my place this morning, unless the Nashville Warbler I came 
across is a fresh arrival (I didn't see any yesterday),  but the encouragement 
I took from yestereve's summer-like chorus is still with me: Hermit Thrushes, 
Winter Wrens and Blue-headed Vireos were in their accustomed places; Wood 
Thrushes sang from all directions - they've really arrived in force!

This morning the multiple Hooded Warblers had set up separate territories - 3 
or 4 in the usual places along the course of a 1500' walk. I was hoping for 
Canada Warblers today, but no sign of them yet.

I still have a Brown Thrasher apparently claiming territory.

From the sound of things, the young Ravens will soon be - may already be - out 
of their nest.

Meet me at the Lab of Ornithology Visitor's parking lot at 7:30 sharp on

[cayugabirds-l] Observations of bird/wasp interactions

2013-05-08 Thread Kevin Loope
Dear bird listers,
I study the behavioral ecology of local yellowjackets, and have always wondered 
which bird species are responsible for the destruction of so many young 
colonies in late May and early June.  I'm most curious about predators of 
aerial-nesting yellowjackets and bald-faced hornets 
(http://wiki.bugwood.org/HPIPM:Baldfaced_Hornet), but would love to hear 
anecdotes and observations about birds interacting with ground-nesting 
yellowjackets, as well as paper wasps.  I recall a year or two ago, someone 
posted a description of crows knocking down an adult bald-faced hornet nest.  
What an dramatic event to witness! If you have any stories, please send them my 
way. 

Thanks!
Kevin Loope

I am not going on the field trip but am heading over to the Lab of O by

Must be the rain? A number of returning migrants (Balt. and Orchard O., Wood 
Thrush and Veery, and some warblers) arrived at my house last week, sang 
briefly then fell silent until this morning. Now they're all singing' in the 
rain.

[cayugabirds-l] Tricolored heron

2013-05-08 Thread Janet Akin
Was in a tree near the canal boat tie up on  the Seneca Trail off of Wildlife 
Drive at 3pm this afternoon. It was quite active and flew across to trail side 
and was sitting in a tree right near the trail. Beautiful bird and worth the 
trip. I was doing a Northern Harrier survey for the refuge and there were many 
shorebirds on the draining Main Pool. Least Sandpiper and Dunlin many 
Yellowlegs and Spotted Sandpipers I’m sure there was much more but it was 
raining and I was looking for Harriers. Also Cerulean Warbler singing near the 
tower for the Main pool and one seen on Seneca Trail. Good Birding, Janet Akin
