[cayugabirds-l] Morning birds
This morning I climbed to the top of Sorry Hunter Hill (1,920 summit, West Danby). I encountered a number of Scarlet Tanagers along the way. Hooded Warblers and American Redstarts are also back in force. Lady slippers are just peeking out of the leaf litter. Without looking for it, I happened to walk right under this year's Raven nest in a thick hemlock forest (the noisy youngsters give themselves away). Just one or two nestlings I think, and confined to the still-sturdy nest, not ready to hop around on the adjacent branches. -Geo -- 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] Morning Yard Birds
I went back to the creek to see if any of my regular residents had returned. I heard the Warbling Vireo and Yellow Warbler who has right now come close enough to the house to hear him singing. I could also hear the Catbird. Returning to the house I spotted an Eastern Kingbird in the birch tree. I think I've had one before, but they are infrequent visitors.

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: 8 May 2015
Good morning! I stopped by the Hawthorn Orchard this morning a tad later than yesterday. Ran into Nancy, Holly and Tom, and Jackie and Phil. Dynamic, relatively quiet, got quieter as the sun got higher and the heat began to intensify. Northeast corner around maple treetops seemed most active. As noted in my comment below, the hawthorn flowers are about to pop, which is probably the earliest I’ve ever observed. As a result, this could make for some very interesting birding there in the coming week or two, as food resources intensify. We could use some rain, though. Best birds were the CAPE MAY WARBLERS (early, there were two adult males in the top of the maple at the NE corner, which flew to the South; later, there were two adult males and a female which flew from the NE corner black walnut tree (?) into the maple treetops (in a South to Northeast direction) then all took flight and headed East toward East Hill Plaza), 1 NORTHERN PARULA (foraging in the Northeast corner), the 2 MERLINS in the spruces and white pines across Mitchell Street from the Hawthorn Orchard (perched and calling), and a single flyover COMMON LOON (for some reason, I always enjoy seeing high migrating Common Loons, with their distinctively direct and rubbery-winged flight).

Hi all, Matt Medler and Dan Lane found a WILSON'S WARBLER foraging very low and very cooperatively on the Wilson Trail directly behind the photo blind/feeding area, while on the inner leg.

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Friday: Glossy Ibis, Red-headed Woodpecker, shorebirds
Hi all, Livia and I took the morning off to check around Montezuma, hoping to find the reported Little Blue Heron. We were unsuccessful in that regard, but had a lot of nice birds. Highlights: --At least three ORCHARD ORIOLES at Myers Point, an adult and a young male chasing each other near the entrance and a third unseen bird singing from Salt Point. --GRASSHOPPER SPARROW singing in the fields on the north side of the southern leg of Lake Road in Ledyard. --Two FORSTER'S TERNS on the breakwall/dock extension at the Frontenac Marina in Union Springs on the way up, and four Sterna, at least two of which were COMMON TERNS on the same breakwall on the way back down. --300+ LEAST SANDPIPERS, 15+ SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS, DUNLIN, both YELLOWLEGS, SOLITARY SANDPIPERS at the Visitor Center Pond/Main Pool (which is significantly drawn down at the moment). --A male CAPE MAY WARBLER singing and foraging in the spruces right at the start of the Wildlife Drive. --A gorgeous drake EURASIAN WIGEON in the middle of the Main Pool and several singing WILLOW FLYCATCHERS along the Wildlife Drive, as well as MARSH WRENS and two BLACK TERNS. --A single RED-HEADED WOODPECKER in the deadwood swamp on Mays Point Road, foraging and calling constantly, as well as drumming occasionally. --The singing male PROTHONOTARY WARBLER as well as many CERULEAN WARBLERS in the usual spot along the forested part of Armitage Road west of the metal bridge. --A beautiful adult GLOSSY IBIS foraging in the flooded cornfield on the south side of Carncross Road in Savannah, which took flight a few minutes after we arrived and headed south and out of sight into the horizon, perhaps bound for the Main Pool area. Lots of shorebirds at Carncross as well, including 15+ DUNLIN, a stunning BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER, and seven PECTORAL SANDPIPERS. A slightly transitional-plumaged FORSTER'S TERN was sitting with the dozen Caspian Terns in the same field. And probably a few more things I'm forgetting.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: 8 May 2015
It was our first trip to Hawthorn this year and very worthwhile. In addition to Chris' list we heard a BLUE-WINGED WARBLER repeatedly in the NE corner of the orchard before he arrived. Also we say a GREEN HERON as we arrived around 7AM. ...Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre. ~Warren Buffett Thomas Hoebbel Photo~Video www.TH-Photo.com http://www.th-photo.com/ 607-539-6121 On Fri, May 8, 2015 at 10:49 AM, Christopher T.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Orange-winged Blackbird
At this time of year, there are many yearling (hatched in 2014) males who are not yet in full color. Having orange epaulets is not unusual for this age group. I know of one orange-epauleted male that actually bred with orange epaulets, but there were complex reasons he got a chance. There is extensive variation in brightness and hue of epaulets and also degree to which the males' contour feathers are all black or edged with brown. Brown edgings are thought to mean a younger male. Anne On May 8, 2015, at 9:49 PM, W.

I went looking for birds on Friday morning at the Salmon Creek Bird Sanctuary, a Finger Lakes Land Trust preserve in Lansing (6:10-7:00 AM). This 33-acre preserve used to host as many as 48 breeding pairs of Cerulean Warblers as recently as 1998, but today as in other recent years, the species seemed absent. I did find plenty of other birds on the preserve and neighboring land along the road, including an adult BALD EAGLE flying up the creek; at least four singing BLUE-WINGED WARBLERS; three YELLOW-THROATED VIREOS; several BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERS; and lots of ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS, WOOD THRUSHES, and BALTIMORE ORIOLES.

[cayugabirds-l] Bats
I was out front of the house just now, looking for BATS. At 2047, 2 appeared flying in tandem. In the next fifteen minutes, they flew over 8 times, always in tandem, from 1' to 4' apart. They moved very quickly; this was not typical foraging behavior. It looked to me like a synchronized courtship display. I have never really thought about courtship in bats, but they must do something. Maybe I'll have baby bats soon.
