[cayugabirds-l] Summerhill Bird trip
On Sunday May 23ed, I led a half day trip to Summerhill with the Cayuga Bird Club. I was joined at the lab by Judy, Leigh, Klaus, Bob McGuire, Bob Packard, Bruce, Paul, and Don. Later we met up with Bobbie and Linda at the corner of Route 90 and Lick Street. The morning cloudiness turned into sunshine and we had a great morning of birding. We first stopped at the corner of Bone Plain Road and Sheldon Road. We watched Bobolinks, Meadowlark, Red-winged Blackbirds and Barn Swallows flying over the field. There were also Tree Swallows, and Canada Geese out in the field, the geese looking quite out of place. A home across from the field had nest boxes and we observed a beautiful Eastern Bluebird in their yard. We made stops along Lick Street when we got to the Summerhill area. Highlights included Alder Flycatcher, Field Sparrow, Blue-Winged Warbler, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Magnolia Warbler, Red-breasted Nuthatch, White-throated Sparrows, Ovenbirds, Brown Creepers, and Raven. We heard, but only got quick glimpses of Yellow-billed Cuckoos. At the corner of Lick Street and Hoag Roads, we spent a good deal of time. This is where patience paid off, and we finally got a look at the Mourning Warbler Bob McGuire had heard out the car window. It took some time but it finally sat up fairly high for us to watch. This corner was busy with birds, including Chest-nut sided warblers, Blue-Winged Warbler, Cedar Waxwings, Indigo Bunting, Veery, Wood Thrush, Purple Finch and a more distant Scarlet Tanager. As we continued up Hoag Road we encountered Black-throated Blue Warbler, Hermit Thrush, and several more Brown Creepers. It was getting late so we drove over to the the McIllroy Preserve and did a quick walk back to the platform overlook. New birds we heard or saw included Black-throated Green Warbler, Northern Waterthrush, Great Crested Flycatcher and Eastern Kingbirds. We watched the Kingbirds in a nest cavity right out in front of the platform. The Grackles, many of them, were catching dragonflies of some sort. They looked as if they just wanted to show off their catches, sitting up on branches or snags, just holding on to their treasures. On the way around the trail we saw many pink lady slippers in one area. It was very nice morning to be out birding. Good Birding!

[cayugabirds-l] Tompkins/ Cayuga/ Seneca/ Wayne Co. - 23 May
Cayugabirders, Chris Wiley and I birded all day today, starting in Lansing and heading to Summerhill SF near Groton, the Montezuma marshes, and eventually West Danby. Here are some brief highlights: Acadian Flycatcher - 1 at traditional Ford Hill Rd., Lansingville site carrying nest material Great Egret - 2 at Union Springs millpond Sedge Wren - 1 intermittently singing bird continuing at East Rd. Montezuma NWR, Tyre Ducks - Ruddy and Redhead continue at Mays Point Pool, 3 American Wigeon at Railroad Rd., Green-winged Teal at East Rd., and Blue-winged Teal at Van Dyne Spoor and Martens Tract, Savannah, where they have successfully bred this year - a female was towing 9 chicks around) Sandhill Crane - 2 very heavily painted adults continue at Carncross Rd, Savannah GOLDEN EAGLE - 1 extremely late bird photographed soaring SW over Railroad Rd., Savannah - small head, slight dihedral, pinched wing bases, white-based tail, dark axillaries and body; bizarre late May record LONG-TAILED DUCK - 1 late female in the marsh at Railroad Rd., Savannah - photographed We also had several flyby flocks of shorebirds at Montezuma NWR - highlights were 6 Black-bellied Plover, ~80 Semipalmated Plover with a Dunlin and a Sanderling mixed in. Curiously, these were all heading SW. The end of the day found us at Meena's King Rail spot in West Danby, where we (along with Dave Nutter and Meena Haribal) had lots of neat birds including Black-billed Cuckoo, Prairie Warbler, Common Nighthawk, and 2 Virginia Rails, but no King.

[cayugabirds-l] Lindsay Parsons etc. Sunday: Y.B.Cuckoo etc.
I was at Lindsay Parsons yesterday ~1-3pm, and the first loud voice I heard was one in a tree by the first field, which I could neither identify nor locate visually until, after some 10 minutes of repeating the same song, it flitted away across the field. I have a lousy iPhone-recording here: http://www.suan-yong.com/sound/lindsay-parsons-mystery.wav Can someone help with the ID? My fleeting glimpse of it flitting away suggested something sparrow-like. Later, after another exasperating failure to visually locate a really loud field sparrow that should've been right there -- during which a very loud yellow-billed cuckoo also vocalized -- I was eventually rewarded by a fantastic view of the Y.B. cuckoo, preening then calling again for good measure before disappearing into the woods. Other highlights include visually tracking down a young redstart (not very red, but very start-ling voice), a good number of chestnut-sided warblers, and reasonably-close prairie warbler. Suan P.S. The evening found me at Stewart Park watching a crow chasing a kingfisher. The kingfisher would continually dive and fly off in the opposite direction -- apparently a sudden-turn maneuver that gives it some advantage over the crow which seemed otherwise a faster flyer. Pre-S. The morning found me driving down Michigan Hollow Road, first at a spot with a singing black-and-white warbler which chased off two blackburnians invading its tree, and a breathtaking view of a distant scarlet tanager perched atop the canopy; then further down the road an enounter with Meena with a recording dish, puzzling out what she thought was probably the secondary song of chestnut-sided warblers. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[cayugabirds-l] Canada Warbler low on Hammond Hill; winged warbler singing like Golden-winged at Park Preserve
Sorry for the late and lengthy post. The gist of it is there's a Canada Warbler singing very close to Hammond Hill Rd. near Irish Settlement and a winged warbler of indeterminate parentage in the Park Preserve not-seen but-heard singing alot like a Golden-winged. Details and other highlights are as follows: After a visit to Salt Pt., which was alive with Orchard Orioles, Willow Flycatchers, Warbling Vireos and Yellow Warblers early yesterday (Sunday) morning, I headed up to Hammond Hill and ran into Sandy, Bill, and Lisa Podulka who, along with Lynn Leopold, directed me to a Canada Warbler singing on the brushy slope above the road near the intersection with Irish Settlement Rd. I headed back down to the spot, quickly located the bird by ear, and then persisted for 15 minutes before getting a glimpse of it. A little later I got better views of either the same bird and or a second one ca. 100 yards up the road on the same side. This time the song lacked the distinct chip note before the burst that I'd heard in the earlier bout of singing leading me to think it might be a second bird. I then went to the Park Preserve where I walked down the Blue Trail past a singing a Blue-winged Warbler, an Alder Flycatcher along the creek, and other expected residents. Near the beginning of the Red Trail I heard a singing Magnolia Warbler in the spruces and while trying to get a look at it, a Yellow-billed Cuckoo with nesting material in its bill popped out of a nearby spruce 20 feet away at eye-level and retreated just as I got it focussed in my scope for a digishot that never happened. As I continued to look for the Magnolia the cuckoo popped out twice, each time retreating before I could get off a shot. Just past where the Red Trail meets the Orange Trail a Prairie Warbler was singing persistently in a clearing (with several 20-foot white pines that have had their lower branches neatly trimmed) and while I was maneuvering to locate him I heard a winged warbler singing a 5-syllable song that sounds like the first sample of Golden-winged Warbler on the Stokes Guide CD. I did not see the bird, but I recorded the song and got opinions from knowledgeable birders that range from possible Golden-winged, through probable hybrid, to possible Blue-winged singing Golden-winged. I will try to post an mp3 to the web, but in the meantime if anyone is interested please contact me off-list and I will send the sound file by email. Today, a little past noon, I went back and after several circumambulations I located what I think is the same bird, singing the same song-variant that I recorded yesterday. I recorded it again today. I found this bird on the blue trail just past (if you're headed in) where the red trail branches off to the right. It was in or near some white pines that sit above the end of the narrow goldenrod meadow that runs along the creek. Once again I did not see the bird but heard it close to the trail and then down in the thick brush at the end of the meadow, so it was 150 to 200 yards away from where I heard it yesterday and moving yet further away when I left. On the way out today on the Blue trail pretty close to the lean-to I heard and saw what I believe is the same Blue Winged Warbler I digiscoped yesterday and then I am pretty sure I heard yet another Blue-winged singing bee-bizz while the first one foraged. One more thing...on the way into the Park Preserve today I heard a Raven croaking and looked up to see a Turkey Vulture, a Red-tailed Hawk, 6-8 crows, and the noisy Raven gyring about and mixing it up.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Canada Warbler low on Hammond Hill
Yesterday afternoon I stopped by Hammond Hill and was surprised to hear Stuart's Canada Warbler just as I turned off Irish Settlement. I heard at least 2 more Canada Warblers singing along the next stretch of road before the V intersection, and another up Star Stanton a short ways. I also had several more up the gravel section of the road, along with a distant MOURNING WARBLER from the four-way intersection up that hill. Lots of Blackburnians and Magnolia Warblers, too. A BARRED OWL was calling from south of the big parking lot at the top of Hammond Hill. After quite a long time I gave up on photographing the first Canada by Irish Settlement, as it just wouldn't come out into the open. After some real camera experience, I now think of digiscoping as just a pain. I did manage a brief digiscoping session with the Canada along lower Star Stanton Rd, and one photo can be seen at http://picasaweb.google.com/KevinJ.McGowan/BasinBirds2010#5474937100704723314. I realized I haven't updated my Basin Birds page for a while, and everything there looks pretty wintery and colorless. I will see if I can get some more stuff up soon, but the Canada Warbler and another digiscoped shot of my back porch Scarlet Tanager http://picasaweb.google.com/KevinJ.McGowan/BasinBirds2010#5474937680773018674 should get it started.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Downy eating oranges
Laura (and others), We have oranges out for the orioles and we have had a Red-bellied Woodpecker coming in to eat. He then carries off whole piecesof the orange. A piece is one-eighth of an orange the way Shirley cuts one up. The orioles have much better manners and eat only at the feeder. Does your Downy actually take a chunk of orange or is he just filling his bill with pulp?
