[cayugabirds-l] hummers

[Marty Schlabach]

I just saw two hummingbirds at our feeder in Interlaken.  We haven't seen a 
hummer at our feeders since Sept 13.  These both look like female or young male 
ruby throated hummingbirds to me, but then I've been wrong before!  3 years ago 
we had a rufous hummingbird visit us for several weeks.  I've got some poor 
pictures, which I might post to Cayuga Bird Club facebook page.  Perhaps the 
weather brought in a couple of late migrants.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] hummers

[Jay McGowan]

Hi all,
As Marty suggested,any "hummer" this late in the season is worthy of
scrutiny. Over the next few months, vagrant species, most often Rufous
Hummingbird, are almost as likely as lingering Ruby-throated. Please keep
that in mind if you have any hummingbird sightings from now on, and post to
the list if you have anything suspicious! Immature and female Rufous are
not as dramatically different from female Ruby-throated as you might
expect, so take a good look at the tail pattern and color of the sides on
any late-season birds.

[cayugabirds-l] Thursday morning highlights

[Jay McGowan]

Highlights from birding this morning at Myers Point and Hog Hole were two
LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS flying north past Myers and a flock of 339 BRANT
headed south over the south end of the lake. No Nelson's Sparrows or
interesting ducks so far. Two individual BRANT also came in off the lake to
head down the inlet, but we did not see any on the ground yet. I flushed a
female RING-NECKED PHEASANT from the soybean field at Bluegrass Lane along
with lots of the common sparrows, but did not have a Marsh Wren in the
cattail patch there (although Tom Schulenberg had one last week.)

Earlier this week I walked Salt Point in case I could refind Suan's
pheasant there. I was unsuccessful but did find a shy RUFFED GROUSE walking
in the dense underbrush out on the point.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] hummers

[John Confer]

I, too, had a hummer this morning, after a long time with no sighting. 
Oddly, it flew with very direct line from plants with flowers in the 
front lawn to flowers that were out of line of sight in the backyard 
making me wonder if it was the return of a summer resident. Don't know. 
Interesting.

Hmm. I had just been wondering whether I should still be bothering with 
hummingbird feeders. I guess I will keep bothering a little while longer 
and try to get good looks at any bird who visits them!

[cayugabirds-l] Ed Hart's Obituary in Ithaca Journal

[Meena Madhav Haribal]

Hi all,

I knew Ed through being his  and his neighbors Dobsons land steward for FLLT  
for several years. Then he also became Cayuga Bird Club member. He was the one 
who taught me about peripheral vision and told me mine was excellent as I could 
see the birds lot more quickly. He was one of the nicest persons I have met in 
my life.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hurricane Joaquin

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

Darn. Good for the people, good for the birds, unfortunate for inland hurricane 
bird seekers...

Latest forecast shows Hurricane Joaquin to make a Northeast turn and head out 
to the Atlantic. Appears that a building high pressure ridge over the Great 
Lakes and a stronger high pressure ridge over the Atlantic will encourage this 
latest forecast to hold true.

But, forecasts do change…

Good birding!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

Chris,

You beat me to it. I have been so busy at work to send anything to the group. 
But early next week could be a great time for oceanic birds as you state. Some 
of our latest model guidance though suggests a landfall farther south now in NC 
or VA and then the storm comes up the eastern seaboard in a much weakened state 
through our area or just to the east. Sandy came in on the NJ coast to southern 
PA and we saw pelagic birds. If the storm trends south to NC on landfall but 
eventually works north I wonder if we would have a pelagic fallout? In any 
event, I think the potential will be there for a lot of grounded migrants so 
even if we don't see many pelagic birds there could be good fallouts of other 
species...like more Hudsonian Godwits, maybe an American avocet, or some 
othersso early next week could be awesome. Bad weather = good birds!!   Of 
course we do have a few models that veer the storm out to sea and we would see 
nice weather next week!!!

Stay tuned...

Just a heads-up…

I happened to check some of my weather references for the coming week and 
noticed that Tropical Storm Joaquin, currently just East of the Bahamas, is 
forecast to make landfall around the Delmarva Peninsula or Cape May, NJ areas 
as a Category 2 Hurricane (976mb) around 8am Sunday morning (10/4). This system 
will then weaken to a Category 1 Hurricane (992mb) as it moves North through 
central New York, just East of the Finger Lakes Region, on Monday morning 
(10/5) through midnight Monday night and gradually drifting Northeast through 
Tuesday and departing by Wednesday morning (10/7).

Be prepared and have a watchful eye for unexpected and typically pelagic 
seabirds on sizable lakes anytime Monday through Wednesday (10/5-10/7) and on 
the days following the departure of this system from our area, as birds filter 
from Lake Ontario back toward the ocean (10/7-10/9).

The only caveat with this alert is that this is a forecast, and forecasts 
change – especially forecasts greater than a few days out. So, everything 
mentioned above is purely meant as a heads-up to check your favorite weather 
forecast site for more information as Tropical Storm Joaquin develops into a 
Hurricane and heads our way.

Good luck and good birding!!

Sincerely
Chris T-H
