[cayugabirds-l] Wood Thrushes, Northern Parula

2017-04-30 Thread Geo Kloppel
Wood Thrushes are singing from several corners of my "yard" in the woods west 
of the Lindsay-Parsons Preserve this evening. In the morning I had my 
first-of-spring Northern Parula just inside the Preserve.

[cayugabirds-l] C.Loon @ Six-Mile Creek Second Reservoir

2017-04-30 Thread Suan Yong
On an evening outing around the second dam reservoir of six-mile creek, I was 
surprised to surprise a common loon fishing at the mouth of the creek entering 
the reservoir, getting to about 30 feet of the bird who dove and swam away 
upstream with intent but not too much urgency.

[cayugabirds-l] House wren

2017-04-30 Thread Mary Jane Thomas
Yesterday I watched a Chickadee building a nest in a box hanging on a fence 
near us.  Today, just now, I looked out and saw a House Wren (first of the 
year) busily tossing all the nesting materials out of the box.  Is this usual 
behavior? Do they usually clean house before taking over a nest box? Wrens 
nested in this box last year.

Thanks.

[cayugabirds-l] Banner Day for Migrants

2017-04-30 Thread Carol Keeler
I had a great day for new arrivals today.  Both the Catbird and House Wren 
showed up.  Also an Eastern Towhee showed up for the second time ever at my 
house.  The male Baltimore Oriole comes frequently for the shelled peanuts.  
Has anyone else ever had them come for peanuts?  They usually come for the 
grape jelly.  The Purple Finch showed up too.  I haven't seen him in many 
days.i have four White Crowned Sparrows too.  I didn't get a chance to walk 
around the property to look for other migrants like the Warbling Vireo that I 
usually get.  Great day for birds!

I would be willing to wager that I just heard the Great Crested Flycatcher's 
"Pett!" our West Hill neighborhood.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hermit Thrush

2017-04-30 Thread Regi Teasley
Ha ha.  Weren't you lucky!
Well, we used to have an Oven Bird that moved through checking out our wood 
chip path where it found things to eat.  If we all leave leaf litter around the 
edges of our properties they will find it worth their while to stop by.
