[cayugabirds-l] Burns Rd Lawrence's Warbler continues
Stuart just sent an RBA that the Lawrence's Warbler continues on Burns Rd. in Ithaca. It is in the shrubs at the top of a steep bank directly across from the entrance to the Ithaca City Police gun range. There are a few Blue-winged Warblers as well. The Lawrence's will sing both song types, GWWA and BWWA. It's a handsome bird even if it can't be counted for our lists.

[cayugabirds-l] Sunday CBC Field Trip-Park Preserve
Hi all, I will be leading a Cayuga Bird Club trip to the Finger Lakes Land Trust's Park Preserve (south) (http://fllt.org/protected_lands/protected_lands1.php?id=42) on SUNDAY, May 18. We will meet at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology at 7:30 and head over to the preserve right after that. If you wish to meet me at the preserve, please be there by 7:45 (we will get there as quickly as possible after 7:30). This is the peak of spring migration and the Park Preserve is a rich, varied habitat, full of interesting breeding birds as well as migrants. It may be wet and buggy, so wear appropriate shoes and bring whatever you need to keep the blackflies at bay. All are most welcome to join us - club member or not! See you Sunday!!

[cayugabirds-l] Tennessee and Black-billed cuckoo from my yard.
Hi all, Today morning I had a Tennessee warbler singing form yard and a little later I heard a Black-billed Cuckoo calling from the Six Mile Creek. Today morning was very noisy, I heard the following birds from my bedroom. 1. Catbird 2. Carolina Wren 3. Tennessee warbler 4. Tufted Titmouse 5. Red-bellied Woodpecker 6. Black-capped Chickadee 7. Yellow Warbler 8. An exotic species my neighbor has in his cage, I believe it is some kind of mimic from south America 9. These days I often have a Phoebe singing form yard but today I did not hear it.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] East Hill Killdeer
I've also been watching this killdeer pair last year and again this year at E. Hill Office Bldg (I work here). I requested that the landscaping crew does not mow this parking lot island until the chicks hatch and all the killdeer leave. For added protection, I also put little flags around the island (to remind the landscapers) and a cone to keep the parking space beside the nest empty. I guess the killdeer liked the special arrangement so much last year that they decided this was the perfect spot again for this year's nest! Could anyone tell me if a pair of killdeer mate for life? Or at least for more than one year? I assume this is the same pair as nested there last year, because the nest is in the same exact spot.

[cayugabirds-l] Derby Hill - Wed/Thurs incl. Swallow-tailed Kite
I'm woefully behind on putting up photos. Wednesday - light to medium songbird flight in the morning. Shortly after the raptors got up, Hawk Counter Steve Kolbe spotted a Swallow-tailed Kite on the near horizon. The bird spiraled and worked its way slowly toward the lookout, eventually passing over the third field. About 10 minutes into the encounter I could still see it in the scope spiraling on the east lakeshore before being lost due to distance. An hour or so later a lake breeze kicked in and the flight moved to the South Lookout, which has a better view of the east and south horizon. I thought we might see the Kite come back but did not. I wondered if it might think this is far enough. I suspect the current weather situation may have been at least partially responsible for it getting here. Thursday - strong SE winds but little migration. It's tempting to wonder how such a thing is possible.

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma and vicinity today
Went with Dan Watkins to Montezuma today. Started in the northern section on Carncross road. It was very windy which hampered scope viewing to some extent. Gone are the large numbers of yellowlegs of about 10 days ago. Now the SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS have come in with quite a few in the muddy cornfield. Also there were a lot of LEAST SANDPIPERS too which have come in since I was there about 10 days ago. DUNLIN remain and actually appeared more numerous. There are still about a dozen or so CASPIAN TERNS. We did have 2 very rust colored SANDHILL CRANES in the way back toward the woods. The ibis was not by the bridge. Next stop was Van Dyne Sporer road and it was again very windy. The water level is high and there wasnt much. COMMON GALLINULES AMERICAN COOTs were easily seen. A few LEAST SANDPIPERS and a SPOTTED SANDPIPER were heard. We did hear 4 singing CERULEAN WARBLERS in the woods of Van Dyne Sporer road which was very nice. Next was Towpath road and it was in bad condition. Water levels are high, lingering waterfowl gone and few waders. I have never seen Knox-Marcellus marsh so empty. We did have one GREAT EGRET and there was a singing CERULEAN WARBLER in the woods. Wildlife drive actually was really good. We saw a first year male ORCHARD ORIOLE fly across the road near post 6 between larues and the carp crossing. The bird was singing off and on in a bushy tree by the Seneca River.Then I refound a male CANVASBACK sitting on a mound in the main pool which was there 10 days ago. There was another male CANVASBACK today sleeping right next to this mound which I didnt see or missed last time. Then 2 gorgeous BLACK TERNS flew low fairly close to the road. This is all is the same spot as where we had the ORCHARD ORIOLE. Then 4 COMMON TERNS flew by farther out in the main pool and landed on some mounds. Then we had another small flock of terns over the Seneca river, but these were different. Much whiter, more orange vs red on the bill and distinctly longer forked tails. FORSTERS TERNS! They also were vocalizing which helped with the id. They flew down the Seneca River toward Routes 5/20. We drove up farther and got great views of an AMERICAN BITTERN right next the road in the new shorebird area. The rest of wildlife drive was quiet. Tschache pool had little waterfowl compared to 10 days ago. Best birds in my opinion where at least 36 BLACK TERNS in the back of the marsh. There was also one GREAT EGRET and the usual gallinules and coots. One of the May's point RED HEADED WOODPECKER also made an appearance for us which was awesome.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Clay-colored sparrow copulation with chipping
Although Clay-colored Sparrow is rare here in the Cayuga Lake Basin, there is a history of this species breeding with Chipping Sparrow in our area. From a 1960 issue of The Kingbird: The lthaca Clay-colored Sparrow (see July, 1960, Kingbird, p. 651) mated with a female Chipping Sparrow, fed her on the nest, and assisted in feeding the young. There were three eggs on Jun 13. Young and both parents were photographod on Jun. 22. On Jun 24 the young were taken by an unknown predator, probably a Blue Jay, during a short period when the nest was not under observation. This nesting record will be written up in detail and published later. http://www.nybirds.org/KBsearch/y1960v10n3/y1960v10n3rgn3.pdf#search=%22summer%201960%22 And, also of interest is this recording from Sapsucker Woods from 1959: http://macaulaylibrary.org/audio/15418 Matt Medler Ithaca From: France bird...@gmail.com To: Graham Montgomery montgomery.gra...@gmail.com Cc: cayugabird...@list.cornell.edu Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2014 9:16 PM Subject: Re: [cayugabirds-l] Clay-colored sparrow copulation with chipping If it actually breeds we should name it the Cascazilla Sparrow France On May 15, 2014 9:07 PM, Graham Montgomery montgomery.gra...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, Brian Magnier and myself went out and watched/photographed the Clay-colored sparrow on Cornell's campus this afternoon.
