[cayugabirds-l] My Catrbird is back!

After four or five days delay he is back today! I was starting worry that something happened to him and to my neighboring catbird. I heard a single chatter at 4.11 am as I was awake from 3.30 am. So I got ready with my recorder if I heard the chatter again. I was wondering who made that

[cayugabirds-l] New Yard Bird

I'm so excited! For the first time ever, I had a Scarlet Tanager under my feeder. It didn't stay long. Who knows what else came with those nasty storms? Sent from my iPad -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods this morning

Things were pretty quiet around the Wilson Trail, but activity picked up on the Severinghaus Trail between the Wilson Trail and the road. We found a SWAINSON'S THRUSH through here and then came upon a warbler flock high in the trees as we approached the road that included at least one

Hi all, The American Bird Association has an ethics document that addresses the issue (see below). While it’s not as specific as I’d like, it clearly mentions heavily birded areas among a number of other caveats. Given the fact that our region has lots of birders, many of whom have smart

Re: [cayugabirds-l] ANy resource for hybrid warbler photos?

Hi Alicia, Warbler hybrids do occur, but in general they are less frequent (or at least less frequently reported) than in some other groups, such as ducks. The exception of course is Blue-winged x Golden-winged crosses, which are seen quite frequently, especially in this part of the world. The

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard, May 14, 2014

Went to the Hawthorn Orchard early this morning and didn't expect much, given the cool temps and blustery winds from the SE. As it turns out, things picked up by about the time I needed to leave, probably as a result of the sun coming out. The first highlight was hearing and then observing two

Re: [cayugabirds-l] ANy resource for hybrid warbler photos?

Yep, that's it! While I haven't found any quite as weird as the bird I saw, the mask definitely seems identical to several, and one shows small blotches on the upper breast. Thanks, Jay! Alicia On 5/14/2014 11:59 AM, Jay McGowan wrote: Hi Alicia, Warbler hybrids do occur, but in general

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard, Tuesday, May 13, 2014

This is a little delayed, but is an interesting comparison to today. Best bird yesterday was a softly singing and scolding, brightly-colored, male PHILADELPHIA VIREO in the very Northeast corner of the Hawthorn Orchard. Jay McGowan and Livia Santana were already observing it as I was walking

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn birds

I spent the late morning at Hawthorn. As Chris's RBA pointed out there was a nice selection of migrants. With a good chunk of time spent birding with Larry Hymes. There were multiple copies of Blue-winged, Chestnut-sided, Bay-breasted, Blackpoll , Yellow-rumped, Tennessee, Yellow, A. Redstart,

The CLAY-COLORED SPARROW continues around the lawns and flowering trees south of Goldwin-Smith hall on Cornell Campus this evening. Gary Kohlenberg also found a nice LAWRENCE'S WARBLER singing on Burns Road this evening. On May 14, 2014 8:05 AM, Brad Walker bm...@cornell.edu wrote: Hi all,

I thought I would share this email from Bryant Park List Serve, that even non-birders are enjoying the Chimney Swifts: Neighbors, It appears that the flock of Chimney Swifts has returned to the Belle Sherman school chimney. They put on quite a show...I'd recommend it! If you're interested,
