[cayugabirds-l] Yellow-billed Cuckoo
I was beginning to wonder if any Cuckoos would be breeding in my neighborhood this year. But yesterday morning a (presumed male) Yellow-billed Cuckoo was in the old orchard as usual, giving his slow series of 7 to 9 soft hollow coos. He was very persistent about it, as if advertising for a mate. -Geo Kloppel -- 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] Black-billed Cuckoos
Following up on Geo's YB Cuckoo post, I watched a pair of Black-Billed Cuckoos in the Salmon Creek sanctuary on Salmon Creek Rd. The best encounter with Cuckoos I've probably ever had, lots of cavorting and vocalizing right overhead along the road, maybe two hundred yards past Brooks Hill Rd.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black-billed Cuckoos
Interesting...just this morning, Livia and I had a calling (kow...kow...) then nicely seen YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO in the Salmon Creek Sanctuary right about where John described. Last evening around 5:00, a Yellow-billed Cuckoo was giving a k'k'k'k'k,kowp song on the Wilson Trail just north of the building here at Sapsucker Woods, and then Matt Medler and I had two Yellow-billed Cuckoos foraging over the feeders along the pond edge a few minutes later. Apart from these, I have heard no other cuckoos in the daytime so far this spring. I did have an excellent night flight last week though, with 39 Black-billed and 13 Yellow-billed Cuckoos vocalizing overhead over the course of a couple of hours.

[cayugabirds-l] Fwd: Geneseo - Wegman's pond
Infer: no TCHE. Original observer still unknown. Dave W Forwarding from GeneseeBirds: Subject: Geneseo: Wegman's pond Date: Wed Jun 4 2014 8:58 am From: geneseebirds-l AT geneseo.edu I stopped by the pond at the southwest corner of Geneseo's Wegman's plaza this morning. Just as I got there a Green Heron flew up from the pond, calling as it went into trees just west of the pond. I could see it moving a little in the trees and it is certainly possible that it/they are nesting in there somewhere - the habitat is good. There is thick brush and trees for some distance south and west of the pond and it looks like excellent habitat for lots of things. I heard two each singing Baltimore Orioles and Cardinals singing, along with Song Sparrow, Yellow Warbler, Redwing, etc. Jim Kimball kimb...@geneseo.edu -- 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/ --
Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black-billed Cuckoos
Yes, Yellow-billed is what I usually hear there at Salmon Creek. I don't think I've had Black-Billed there before. I forgot to say- I saw the Black-Billed on Sunday morning.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black-billed Cuckoos
In the spirit of the more you think you know, the more you have to learn would anyone please describe the call differentiation between Black and Yellow-billed? I have had both on the sanctuary and banded both species. This year as we listen we had a few obvious Black Billed doing the three note cu-cu-cu and several others that make quite a ruckus and Cu longer. Some are in-between. Re-listened to a bunch of tracks on both and am totally confused. Compounding that was listening to an obvious YBCU this morning and when it flew it out it was a Black!

[cayugabirds-l] Red winged BB attack
I am standing by the bench dedicated to Charlie Harper on Wilson trail. I just saw an American Redstart male that happened to land on a tall cattail leaf be attacked by a male Red winged Blackbird! RWBB dragged Redstart down in water and a violent struggle ensued. It seemed like blackbird was trying to drown the Redstart, which somehow got away, rested nearby on a tree branch - very near a male RWBB. Whichever blackbird that was did not interact with the Redstart, which finally flew off into a thicket on west side of pond. Must be Redstart got too near a Blackbird nest.

[cayugabirds-l] Linsay Parsons Preserve DeerTicks
Visiting the Ithaca area Monday and Tuesday I decided to explore Lindsay Parsons Preserve (in West Danby south of Ithaca for Genesee birders) on Tuesday. I enjoyed the Prairie Warblers in the first hedgerow, Yellow-bellied Flycatcher on the easternmost portion of the red trail, a Great Horned Owl in the woods along the north edge of the second meadow and a Northern Waterthrush along the flooded portion of the yellow trail. The real reason for this post is to warn about Deer Ticks. There are warning signs at all the parks in the area and despite knowing about the increase in these I hadn't taken it that seriously until this walk. After a 3 hour walk on the trails only, with no bushwhacking and wearing long loose pants, I discovered 2 imbedded on my lower legs immediately plus 2 roaming around my sock edges. Stripping down I had a total of 5 imbedded and 3 roaming ticks below my waste. Even after shaking off and inspecting my clothing one made it all the way back to Rochester with me. I will certainly use repellant and take other precautions the next time! Maybe I should just stay up in Rochester.
