[cayugabirds-l] Killdeer @ Myers

[Suan Yong]

Don't remember this having been reported at or since the CBC, but there's a 
killdeer in the gravel island of salmon creek by Myers - or there was until the 
hunters started firing nearby. I don't see it anymore, but can hear it calling 
from nearby somewhere.

Also, lots of bluebirds near the salt point entrance.

[cayugabirds-l] Pipits @ Salt Pt

[Suan Yong]

At least 3, maybe 5, American Pipits foraging invisibly on the beach on the 
north side of Salt Point (flushed there by me from closer to the point). Still 
struggling to photograph them.

[cayugabirds-l] Sandhill Cranes in Savannah

[M Miller]

Had a pair of Sandhill Cranes at the Sandhill Crane Unit (Montezuma) on the 
south side of Van Dyne Spoor Rd around sunset Saturday. Also had a group of 
over 2 dozen Swans that appear to be Trumpeters. Photos available on Eaton 
Birding Society’s facebook page. (No Short-eared Owls seen, but several N. 
Harriers were flying around, along with lots of ducks & Canada geese).

[cayugabirds-l] Pipits @ Salt Pt + others; Ravens

[Donna Lee Scott]

I met Suan at Salt Point after his Pipit post below. He said there were 7 
AMERICAN PIPITS according to his heat sensing device/screen, and that they are 
very hard to see against the dull colored lake-bed rocks on the shore edge.
I later saw one on the north side near the point. Never found the others.
Then I saw 7 EASTERN BLUEBIRDS which landed near and on a small frozen pond on 
the north shore lake bed of Salt Point. Neat to see a lovely bright male 
Bluebird standing on the snow-covered ice!

Also saw N. CARDINAL, RED BELLIED WOODPECKER, 3 BLUE JAYS, 4 E. STARLINGS, 4 A. 
CROWS, and several RING BILLED BULLS, along with a group of intrepid, 
scope-lugging birders across Salmon Creek near the point of Myers Park.

Later on Asbury Road near the end of Collins Rd. I saw 2 COMMON RAVENS fooling 
around way out in a large farm field. One was doing that amusing hopping, 
following after the other as it walked away.

[cayugabirds-l] Cowbirds

[Dave Nutter]

Peter, 
On the afternoon of 5 January Ann Mitchell & I saw a flock of about 25 
BROWN-HEADED COWBIRDS, males & females, on the shoulder of Fenner Rd near 
NYS-34B, which is in the northwest corner of the Town of Lansing in Tompkins 
County. They were not present during a couple of more recent visits. They were 
first-of-year for both of us. I think the cowbirds wander. Several MOURNING 
DOVES were also on the road shoulder that day, but they flushed separately and 
did remain in the area. We also saw a few HORNED LARKS elsewhere along Fenner 
Road that day, and today we saw some just north of Fenner on Davis Rd. 
--Dave Nutter
PS - Apologies to those who found this message redundant. After I first sent it 
to CayugaBirds-L I realized it was in the form which turns to garbage on some 
people’s email (including Peter’s!) and on the digests and archives, so I this 
time it is in a form that I hope is legible all those ways. I’m trying to get 
in the habit of sending messages to Cayugabirds in this more universally 
readable way, but sometimes I forget.

[cayugabirds-l] Mute Swans, northern Cayuga L betw Harris Park & Lower Lake Rd

[Dave Nutter]

Today (Saturday) some of the intrepid birders whom Donna Scott mentioned went 
to various places in the Cayuga Lake Basin, mostly trying to find birds which 
were previously reported and managing to overlook those which had not yet been 
reported. However a species which appears to be new for the year for the basin 
is MUTE SWAN of which I (and Diane Morton, Ken Kemphues, Bob McGuire & Ann 
Mitchell) saw 3 swimming near the western ice edge north of Cayuga Lake State 
Park (Seneca County, Town of Seneca Falls). We were scoping from Harris Park in 
the Village of Cayuga on the east side (Cayuga County, Town of Aurelius).

I’m glad to hear we had an excuse for overlooking the American Pipits even 
though we thought about them - we lack infrared vision!

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Pipits @ Salt Pt

[Suan Yong]

I posted some photos of today's pipits, including the infrared image, on 
facebook:

https://www.facebook.com/suan.yong/posts/10208622363774511

If you can't see the IR image, I posted it here too:

I did eventually see all seven fly together a short distance.
