[cayugabirds-l] Myers 23Sep2013
Myers was pretty quiet this morning, as it has been for the last few mornings. Highlight today was a WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER that came flying in off the lake. I first noticed it because it was giving its high-pitched, squeaky calls. It circled the spit once but didn't land, then headed back out over the lake. Other birds included a male GREATER SCAUP heading south, and one migrant and one local Osprey. After Myers and Stewart didn't yield much yesterday morning, I walked around Hog Hole for a while. The only bird of note was a MARSH WREN that I flushed from the grass in the northwest corner. Today at the corner of Cherry Road and Snyder Road at the Ithaca Airport I found a flock of at least 10 EASTERN MEADOWLARKS. And finally, not sure if it has been posted yet, but LINCOLN'S SPARROWS are turning up lots of places this past week, including several sightings at the Freese Road gardens. Later migrants such as Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Hermit Thrush, Winter Wren, Palm Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler, and Rusty Blackbird have all been seen in the area within the past few days as well.

Thanks, Jay, for your timely and thorough (as always) report from this morning. I am curious as to when (and by whom) the Lincoln's Sparrows were found at the Freese Road gardens. Nothing has been reported to Cayugabirds, and I know that there are many local birders who follow the listserve and yet are not hooked up to rare or unusual bird alerts. I really miss the days when folks thought it important enough to report interesting sightings to Cayugabirds.

Hi Bob and all else, I myself had a Lincoln's Sparrow at the Freese Road gardens yesterday. Jay and Brad found them first on the 14th and 17th. Also, one was seen at Palmer Woods on Campus on the 19th. Looks like now is the time to go out and find them.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Montezuma today evening!
Hi all, Sorry for the late reply. I was with Tim yesterday and we had all the birds Meena mentioned at East road, plus the continuing WHIMBREL very close to Towpath Road and a MERLIN chasing shorebirds around for a while. There was also a (most likely) MOURNING WARBLER with some NASHVILLE WARBLERS on Towpath. There wasn't anything really of note from elsewhere in the refuge that we visited. We also found all of the Egrets Meena was missing in the small wetland across the street and down the road from the Audubon Center. - Brad On Sun, Sep 22, 2013 at 7:25 PM, Meena Madhav Haribal m...@cornell.eduwrote: Hi all, As I had a transportation today, I decided to take a long drive to MNWR. On the way I stopped at Myers nothing of interest to report. At Aurora, I saw an adult Bald Eagle, which soared for sometime parallel to my car. Again at Mud Lock I saw two adult Bald Eagles sitting on a dead tree and a few crows harassing them. I took wildlife drive hoping for Soras and the alike. At Visitor Center there were numerous Pectoral Sandpipers (20+), one White-rumped Sandpiper, and one Greater Yellowlegs. In the Seneca River spillway, just at the beginning of the drive there were two Lesser yellowlegs in lesser water and two Greater Yellowlegs in deeper water. On the main pool lot of duck activity was evident. Lots of Pintails and American Widgeons were flying in the air. Tons of Green-winged teals were clustered around the vegetation. La Rues, New Shorebird area and Bennings were devoid of shorebirds, but Bennings had a few Shovlers along with other common species. May's point Pool had lots of Ring-billed gulls and one Pied-billed Grebe. At Knox Marsellus, there were lots of shorebirds most of them were concentrated here rather than near the Towpath. I quickly picked out 7 HUDSONIAN GODWITS, lots of Pectoral Sandpipers and Golden Plovers (30+) and one Black-bellied Plover among them. Shorebirds for no reasons were taking off in a group and land somewhere else. I think this was pre-long distance take off exercise. May be many of them might take off today. I wonder when they take off , at dusk? A cormorant had caught a fish and it was being harassed by a Ring-billed Gull for quite sometime. Later another Ring-billed Gull was chasing a Greater Yellowleg, with something in its beak for quite sometime. Two American Pelicans were sleeping, one bill tucked inside its feather and the other with bill in the open. I also saw a few Barn and lots of Tree Swallows over the water. A small flock of Bobolink flew over the marsh. Otherwise it was comparatively quiet. One thing of note was there were no Egrets anywhere in the refuge! Also I had a rare sighting of Tim Lenz, who got out of the car with his scope and scanned the Knox-Marsellus quickly in about 5 minutes and left! He scanned the area where the Hudsonian Godwits were seen, so I presume he was not interested in other birds or he might have birded the area previously and came for a better look of some species!

Hi Brad, How many egrets did you find there? I thought it was you but you did not recognize me so I thought it might have been someone else who was reading a book or something like that.

[cayugabirds-l] Ruby-throated Hummingbird and Common Witch Hazel
This morning I had the privilege to watch a female RTHumminbird work very carefully and thoroughly among Common Witch-Hazel flowers. She even sat on a branch for a few moments, to take advantage of several flowers clustered close together. We have lived here for exactly 30 years, and I have always marveled at the Common Witch Hazel just outside my kitchen window, with its peculiar yellow flowers which it produces September to November. I have never seen a Ruby-throated Hummingbird seek nectar from the Witch Hazel before. -- 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] Nature of Montezuma Lecture October 5th
Saturday, October 5, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Nature of Montezuma Lecture - Imperial Dreams: Tracking the Imperial Woodpecker Through the Wild Sierra Madre In the vast mountain pine forests of Mexico’s Sierra Madre Occidental lived a bird like no other—a spectacular giant woodpecker, two feet in length, largest of its clan that ever lived. With the deepest black plumage and brilliant, snow-white feathers that show as a white shield on its back, the Imperial Woodpecker is the closest relative of America’s famed Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The last documented sighting of an Imperial took place in 1956, and yet rumors still persist among the mountain villagers that this bird still lives in the remotest reaches of this mighty mountain range. Join award-winning author and wildlife photographer Tim Gallagher at the Montezuma Audubon Center for a fascinating program as he shares his adventures in search of this enigmatic ghost bird. Fee: $3/child, $5/adult, $15/family, FREE for Friends of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex. Space is limited. Registration required. Call 315-365-3588 or e-mail montez...@audubon.org.
