[cayugabirds-l] Loon fallout

2015-10-21 Thread Carol Schmitt
Loons were everywhere on the lake today.  The best part is their music -- 
constant calling back and forth to each other, starting before first light and 
continuing into the evening.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] bird in my yard, not flying

2015-10-21 Thread Rosalie V Borzik
Thanks Vanessa.

On the positive side, the bird appears to be holding its wings evenly.  Draw a 
visual line from wingtip to wingtip across the body and you’ll see that the 
wing tips are even--one isn’t drooping lower than the other.  This implies that 
wing bones fractures are not likely the issue. Keel  fractures are the result 
of hard frontal impacts, e.g. an owl and car windshield collision.  If the full 
impact was frontal, the wings MAY also look even in that case.  “Angel wing” is 
a deformity (genetic or nutritional) that more often than not appears only in 
one wing.  It’s unlikely you would find an adult bird in that condition in the 
wild. Young birds with that problem are usually victims of predation near the 
nest site.

As Chris mentioned, a window strike is a more likely scenario.  In that 
case,--if it was not a severe impact—it’s possible the bird could recover after 
a short rest.  Placing it in a box in a warm, quite area is the first thing to 
try.  If it was a minor hit, you may hear the bird moving around in the box.  
Peek in and look at the wing position.  If they are being held normally, got 
outside to a more protected area and open the box.  Ideally, the bird will hop 
out on its own or immediately fly off.

Putting it safely in a box, keeping it warm and quiet are actions not to be 
under-rated.  It is most important to never to attempt to feed our water an 
injured bird. Lots of harm can come from those simple actions.  If the bird 
does not look BAR (bright, alert and responsive) and ready to leave when you 
open the box, then a trip to the vet is warranted.

Hope this helps you in the future.

Regards,

Rose Borzik

Thanks all (and again, apologies about Smugmug.I'm about to send them 
hatemail again how I've just unlocked the site and people still can't get 
in).but Chris replied back to me with the following:

"If you are near the Cornell Vet School, you can collect the American Goldfinch 
(use a towel or sheet to throw over the bird, so you can catch it) and place it 
in a small box with air holes for breathing. Then, take the box with bird to 
the Cornell Vet School. They have a Wildlife Clinic that will check the bird 
out. It may have suffered from a window strike or may be the result of a failed 
attempt by a cat or raptor at catching it (but escaped with injuries)."
That's if I can find him again, that is.:(I don't see how he made such 
significant progress in crossing the yard to somewhere else in the time I came 
in to reply to email, and went back out again.

I'm sorry about that.   Smugmug irritates me with their changes from a month

I've unlocked the site temporarily so hopefully you should be able to view the

I was just out there again, looking for him, and now I can't find him.  The 
yard is covered with leaves, and he can be hidden really well.I chirped and

I will email the photo to Chris as well.

Beginning birder, and I normally lurk here, but am wondering what to do about 
this.   As I was leaving work/filling feeders this morning, I saw this little 
guy in my yard, hopping along, even though I came close to him.  He would 
spread his wings in the midst of a hop occasionally, but never took off, no 
matter how close I got.
I had to leave for work, came back just now, he's still in my yard, hopping 
along away from me if I get close

He doesn't appear injured (blood, torn feathers, etc), but I have not seen his 
undersides/wings too closely.  He does not appear to want to fly off as a bird 
normally would if approached by a human.
What to do, if anything?  I have to leave for work again in 20 minut

[cayugabirds-l] Fall Creekers: Look up in your trees TODAY!!!

2015-10-21 Thread Sandy Wold
To my Fall Creek Neighbors and Interested Birders:

I have five new yard birds today in downtown Fall Creek:  Golden-rumped
Warbler, Northern Parula, Cedar Waxwing, Chipping Sparrow, Ruby-crowned
Kinglet.  Thanks to an expert birder who dropped by to help me confirm
these!I just started birding seriously last November and live near the
high school surrounded by tall mature maples.  The trees are teeming with
insectivores today (I noticed them starting around 1PM, seen especially in
the Sugar and Norway Maples and a locust-like(?) tree loaded with seeds
(birds like the bugs hidden among the leaves and bark... and crabapple bark
if you have them:

...and the regular insectivores were here as well (Dark-eyed Junco,
White-breasted Nuthatch, Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Wren, Black-capped
Chickadee, Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers). Other birds seen in my yard today
from 1-4PM: American Goldfinch, House Sparrow, Blue Jay, and I think I
heard the Pileated Woodpecker (not sure) today.   Not sure if this will
happen tomorrow or the next day; likely; so keep a look out!  Some of these
birds will stick around through winter but others will move to a warmer
location. Turkey Vultures can be seen intermittently high in the sky
soaring and have already begun their migration.

As the sun begins to recline, I just heard a shrill Cedar Waxwing call and
then witnessed a huge swarm of Cedar Waxwing lift out of the trees around
me.  They lifted, hovered, condensed, flew around the Jay and Auburn block
and headed toward Stewart Park, where I assume they will roost for the
night.  Still more Cedar Waxwing can be heard in the distance but now
quickly fading as I finish this email. American Robin, Northern Cardinal,
chickadee, crickets purr, a church bell, crow off in the far distance,
goldfinch undulating on by way up high, and the sounds of Route 13 remain.
We are so lucky to live in this special place!!!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Montezuma is great today!!! - out of car thread...

Photo/viewing blinds would be great! Especially since we can't all beg 
Kevin to take us birding with him. Haha!


I wonder what the steps to getting this idea made into a reality would 
be. Probably additional funds for building such a thing would be needed.

The whole "out of the car" issue is why I wish there were photo/viewng blinds 
in the area across the road, where people could pull off the main drive into the old 
trail parking lot and share scopes, provide assistance, and take photos without 
obstructing the view of passing cars or disturbing wildlife unduly.As someone who has 
led field trips with a caravan of cars and who has attempted to point out bird locations 
to new birders using bad bins while talking over FRS radios, this would be a HUGE 
improvement!   Eaton Marsh in particular is a wonderful shorebird spot, but horrible for 
new birders without great optics or fully developed spotting skills.

And I saw baby Rails this year too - outside my car, in the designated viewing 
spot at Benning Marsh.

this little guy in my yard, hopping along, even though I came close to
him.  He would spread his wings in the midst of a hop occasionally, but
never took off, no matter how close I got.

I had to leave for work, came back just now, he's still in my yard, hopping
along away from me if I get close

He doesn't appear injured (blood, torn feathers, etc), but I have not seen
his undersides/wings too closely.  He does not appear to want to fly off as
a bird normally would if approached by a human.

What to do, if anything?  I have to leave for work again in 20 minutes.
Given he's not getting far by hopping, he may be in my yard again tonight
(pitch dark when I return, and late)

[cayugabirds-l] Freese Road plots plowed

2015-10-21 Thread Brad Walker
Hi all,

I thought you'd all like to know that as of today, the garden plots, and
the field on the other side of the parking area, have been plowed.
