[cayugabirds-l] Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

2011-01-30 Thread Marla Coppolino
Yesterday and this morning there is a juvenile YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER at
my suet feeder.  I typically get all the regular woodpeckers at my feeders,
but this is the first time to have a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker here in
January.

[cayugabirds-l] SW corner Cayuga Lake

2011-01-30 Thread Elaina McCartney
The rafts have been north of here but  south of the Yacht Club.   Just now the 
sun came out and they're paddling back to the 800 block.  Nice light for those 
who are interested in photography.  Of course this is Ithaca, the birds and the 
light could be gone soon…  I'll see if I can count what's visible…

I also had today (as yard birds) a Brown Creeper, 4 Downy Woodpeckers, 1 Blue 
Jay, 3 American Crows guarding the yard, a Hairy Woodpecker, 9 House Sparrows, 
2 Black-capped Chickadees,  1 Tufted Titmouse, 2 Golden-crowned Kinglets, 2 
White-breasted Nuthatches, 1 Junco.

Below is my ebird report, filling out my previous post to the list.  It's 
interesting how quickly things change in the waterfowl world.  There are now at 
least another hundred Canvasbacks than during the period I counted, only 
minutes ago.  Many more Ring-necked Ducks than yesterday.  Far fewer Canadas 
than usual.  The sunshine is exciting (to me and them), and a cluster of shore 
dabblers are splashing vigorously.  The rafts are continuously changing shape,  
cruising back and forth, north and south, forming long lines and then clumps.  
Two Black Ducks showed up right after I posted.

Location: SW Corner Cayuga Lake
Observation date: 1/30/11
Notes: Waterfowl rafts were moving a lot, and were undercounted due to tree 
obscuration--more birds to the north.  Nothing past about halfway to cluster 
buoy from west shore was counted due to uncertainty.  Common Goldeneyes must be 
somewhere else today.  Fewer Canvasbacks than usual among the Redheads. Nice to 
see the sunlight on what was here.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

2011-01-30 Thread Kenneth Victor Rosenberg
Marla,

On the Cortland Christmas Bird Count on December 18, we found a Yellow-bellied 
Sapsucker in the St. Anthony's cemetery on the hill above town of Groton. It 
was an immature bird that was still fairly brownish and had a white throat 
(female). I'm wondering if you are near there and if this could be the same 
bird?

Yes, the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker at my feeders was female, immature, and
with the brownish feathers.  I live within 5 miles of St. Anthony's cemetery
(actually less, as the Sapsucker flies), so it could very well be the same
bird that you saw.

Someone who lives near upper Treman Park contacted me off-list to say that
she has had a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker at her feeder all winter.
