Re: [cayugabirds-l] Red-necked Grebe at Carncross road and Ravens at my house

2014-05-30 Thread Dave Nutter
I had heard, perhaps incorrectly, that Steve's group's Red-necked Grebe on the 
SFO Montezuma overnight trip was at Van Dyne Spoor Road. At any rate I did not 
see it then, and only found the one at Carncross Roat on 25 May which is when 
eBird reports for it start. I don't think it could've hidden at Carncross Road 
from eBird reporters for over a month, although maybe if it can fly and moved 
from the Morgan Road impoundment or Van Dyne Spoor Road it may have been able 
to remain undetected. I don't know if high waters would've allowed it to swim 
between those places, but I don't think it would've walked, as injured geese 
do. There's been a lot of migration lately, so I'm not convinced this late bird 
is such a long-term visitor or injured bird. Snow Geese, however, typically do 
stay over after being wounded by hunters, and the Snow Goose at Carncross, 
even though it can fly now, I would readily believe has convalesced locally. 
But I think grebes aren't supposed to be hunted and so I think they aren't as 
typically injured by hunters. That's my speculation.

 Hi all,

 There was a Red-necked Grebe on April 13 2014 at Carncross road seen by Steve 
 Kress's group. My group which went there five minutes later looked for it, at 
 one point we thought we had it in the scope, but next moment it was gone. And 
 we did not find it again.  After that on and off there have been a few 
 reports of this grebe from the same location. So I think it is the same one 
 for some reasons it is hanging around at Carncross. Perhaps some injury?? 

 What do others think?

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Red-necked Grebe at Carncross road and Ravens at my house

2014-05-30 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal
You are right, it was at Van Dyne Spoor road. When I wrote Carncross road the 
image in my mind was of Van Dyne Spoor.  Anyway Carncross is not far from Van 
Dyne Spoor as Grebe flies.  Could be injured by variety of reasons, not only by 
shooting.

Dave Nash, Dave Perrin, and I birded Montezuma NWR Wednesday, May 28,
Wildlife Drive was all but devoid of birds except for the rare treat of a
Lark Sparrow. The bird was in the grass between the drive and the canal,
about 100 feet before the hard left before Bennings Pond.

Most of the action, however, was on Carncross Road, where we joined a
number of birders already enjoying the show. Feeding in the shallows and
along the mudflats a were number of shorebirds, including a female
Red-necked Phalarope and a Red-necked Grebe, both in breeding plumage; a
Short-billed Dowitcher; a transitional Black-bellied Plover; 60+ Dunlin;
and Semi-palmated Sandpipers and Plovers. A lone Ruddy Duck was seen at the
back of the pool..

Other birds of note were five Black Terns, two Trumpeter Swans, a Common
Gallinule, and a Willow Flycatcher at Tschache Pool.

Thanks to Bill Purcell,  Gregg Dashnau, and Doug Daniels for helping us
locate the Carncross birds.

Good birding--

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Robin ferocity

Wow, I love this listserve and learn so much from it!  This Robin behavior
observed explains why I feel like a local Robin has been dive-bombing me
every morning I walk out into my back yard (downtown Ithaca).  She must

something, and I found the remains.

[cayugabirds-l] Night Flight - Etna, NY: 5/29-5/30

2014-05-30 Thread Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes
Thursday night was a night with the second highest concentration of night 
migrating cuckoos this season. There were 14 calls from 12 different individual 
BLACK-BILLED CUCKOOS and four (4) distinct sequences of three (3) individual 
YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOOS. One of which flew over very close to my listening 
station.

Other tallies of note include the following:

4 Red-eyed Vireos (song phrases from at least 4 different individuals)
1 Alder Flycatcher (gave both re-be-er and pip calls)
1 Veery
2 Wood Thrushes
Several Swainson's Thrushes with a scattering of Gray-cheeked Thrushes
2 Bicknell's Thrush candidates (high frequency Gray-cheeked Thrush-type calls)
1 GRASSHOPPER SPARROW (very distinct and clear individual, which I believe is 
my first as a night migrant)

Good birding and night listening!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

[cayugabirds-l] Night Flight - Etna, NY: 5/28-5/29

2014-05-30 Thread Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes
Wednesday night, there was a significant movement of cuckoos, marking the first 
of major movement of the season. I hand browsed through those data last night 
and tallied 26 Black-billed Cuckoo calls from at least 24 different 
individuals. I also counted five different individual Yellow-billed Cuckoos.

Other tallies of note include:

1 Red-eyed Vireo (song phrases)
2 Virginia Rail (keeer calls)
2 Alder Flycatchers (re-be-er calls)
1 Indigo Bunting
1 Short-billed Dowitcher flock (at least 2 birds)
1 Eastern Wood-Pewee (pee-urrr call)
Several Swainson's and Gray-cheeked Thrushes
1 Bicknell's Thrush candidate (candidate = a relatively high-frequency 
Gray-cheeked Thrush-type call, but not classic Bicknell's Thrush call).

Many more nights to come!

Good birding and night listening!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Night Flight - Etna, NY: 5/28-5/29

2014-05-30 Thread Chris R. Pelkie
Thanks for these postings: I was on cuckoo alert because of them, and got a 
Yellow-billed calling in the dawn chorus yesterday at 530am (heard from bed: I 
am an adherent of the Rosenberg-Yong School of Recumbent Birding now) and again 
yesterday about 430pm as I stepped out to walk the dog. So far, have not seen 
one this year, but we have had at least one spend some time in our trees in the 
past, so hopeful!
I had a Black-billed call a couple weeks ago also in home dawn chorus, 
apparently separately from this latest push.

Cluster of seven Ruddy Turnstones on the spit at Myers Park at 11:15 am.
Scattered when bothered by a ring-billed gull but then  reformed into a
tight pod facing the wind.  Also a flight of a fifteen or so peeps flitting
around.  Guess I'll have to do the shorebird ID course (again).

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Red Knots, plovers

2014-05-30 Thread Dave Nutter
I just got a call (5:10pm) from Dominic Sherony who was at Montezuma earlier 
today. He says that when he arrived at Carncross Road about 11:30am there was a 
flock of 40-50 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS in the air along with some RED KNOTS - 
he's not sure how many. They had apparently been put up by an eagle, and they 
circled higher and departed. Joe Wing, who was there before they took flight, 
may have a count. At least 5 RED KNOTS remained at Carncross when Dominic left 
at 12:20pm, along with various other shorebirds, some of them distant and 
challenging. 

Dominic was also at Armitage Road today where he saw 2 possible AMERICAN 
GOLDEN-PLOVERS, one basic and one nearly so. If anyone else has seen these 
birds he'd like confirmation or correction on the ID. He was also at Armitage 
on the 27th and saw the single RED KNOT as late as 3pm that I found that day.

 Montezuma
 To: oneidabi...@yahoogroups.com oneidabi...@yahoogroups.com




 Dave Nash, Dave Perrin, and I birded Montezuma NWR Wednesday, May 28,
 Wildlife Drive was all but devoid of birds except for the rare treat of a
 Lark Sparrow. The bird was in the grass between the drive and the canal,
 about 100 feet before the hard left before Bennings Pond.

 Most of the action, however, was on Carncross Road, where we joined a
 number of birders already enjoying the show. Feeding in the shallows and
 along the mudflats a were number of shorebirds, including a female
 Red-necked Phalarope and a Red-necked Grebe, both in breeding plumage; a
 Short-billed Dowitcher; a transitional Black-bellied Plover; 60+ Dunlin;
 and Semi-palmated Sandpipers and Plovers. A lone Ruddy Duck was seen at the
 back of the pool..

 Other birds of note were five Black Terns, two Trumpeter Swans, a Common
 Gallinule, and a Willow Flycatcher at Tschache Pool.

 Thanks to Bill Purcell,  Gregg Dashnau, and Doug Daniels for helping us
 locate the Carncross birds.

 Good birding--

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Red Knots, plovers

2014-05-30 Thread Jay McGowan
Very few shorebirds on the ground at Carncross at the moment, but three RED
KNOTS just flew over with three Black-bellied Plovers. Perhaps more
noteworthy still, a GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE was sitting with a small
flock of Canada Geese in the water. They all just took off and flew north.
