[cayugabirds-l] Lots of juncos

2014-10-26 Thread Anne Marie Johnson
I just counted 45 juncos in my yard, and I don't even have feeders up, 
although we do have lots of native plants, and the seeds are getting blown 
everywhere.

[cayugabirds-l] A somewhat unusual question

2014-10-26 Thread Constance Finlay
I have a question from an historian friend of mine about identification of a 
bird illustration in a 16th century Italian manuscript. My guess has been a 
Black Crowned Night Heron, but I’m hoping for some expert opinion.

I’m not sure if the list allows attachments, but I can send a jpeg to anyone 
who would like to attempt an identification.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Constance Finlay

[cayugabirds-l] Sunday Birds

2014-10-26 Thread bob mcguire
After walking up and down Salt Road in the Summerhill SF this morning 
(highlight - Brown Creeper), I stopped by Myers town park and the private 
marina. I was surprised to find the (a) Purple Sandpiper still foraging among 
the gulls out on the spit. The lake was quite rough and rain was spitting in, 
so my scan of the water was quick - one Common Loon flying north just above the 
surface.

South from the marina the lake was again nearly empty. 5 Mallards, one DC 
Cormorant, and a small group of four Surf Scoters were riding the waves. Also 
of interest was a Merlin perched on one of the snags above the pool behind 
Ladoga.

The previously (some time ago) reported GLOSSY IBIS is feeding in the
second open area at Eaton Marsh (formerly Shorebird Flats) on the Wildlife
Drive. The EARED GREBE is also still in the same area near the first open
water on the left side of the drive.

[cayugabirds-l] Purple Sandpiper

2014-10-26 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal
?Hi all,

Here is a link to the clip I took of Purple Sandpiper this afternoon. At times 
it came as close as 6 feet from me. It moved very fast in general.  At one time 
the surfer had left his surfboard at the edge of the lake and the bird foraged 
in between the boards.  Quite a cute bird!

along the shore.
Watch now...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRE6AEbxE-Y


 Also from the East Shore,  I saw 6 or 7 female Black Scoters very actively 
foraging and being underwater for quite sometime.

?I should warn you that you should watch the video with sound off or speaker at 
low volume. It was terribly windy out there. Even my pants were flapping loudly
