[cayugabirds-l] eBird Report - Hawthorn Orchard , 4/30/11

The following is what was submitted to eBird. There were three substantially-sized flocks of White-throated Sparrows in the Hawthorn Orchard, each around 25 birds. The Cooper's and Red-tailed Hawks were presumed to be in migration, soaring high overhead. The Yellow-rumped Warbler was heard only, ne

[cayugabirds-l] Muscovy duck by Freese Road

In the vain hope that a Whip-poor-will might fly by, I checked out the fields on Hanshaw Road this evening. In the pond across from the community gardens was a domestic Muscovy Duck. A little earlier I was in Sapsucker Woods and found likely the same Veery I saw on Sunday. It was on wooded s

[cayugabirds-l] Presumed Glossy Ibis Montezuma fly over

This evening Joann and I visited Montezuma. The main pool was very high with very few birds, however, as we drove parallel to the Thruway opposite May's Point pool Joann picked out a dark Ibis in flight. We watched the bird for 10 minutes circling over May's Point then heading toward East ro

[cayugabirds-l] White-eyed Vireo, Cape May plus along Mitchell St

I had some crow work to do today over by East Hill Plaza, so it was purely coincidental that I started the (late) morning trying to find Chris T-H's WHITE-EYED VIREO in the Hawthorns. I eventually did, but it was just about the only bird I had in there. The place was leafless and birdless unti

[cayugabirds-l] Great Morning- Cornell Plantations- Fall Creek Valley North

Hey everyone, I had a very productive 2.5 hour walk this morning in the Cornell Plantations across the suspension bridge in Fall Creek Valley. So many Yellow-rumpeds, but I also managed to pick out a BLACKBURNIAN, BLUE-WINGED, and BLACK-THROATED BLUE. Photos coming soon! Evan Barrientos Begin f

[cayugabirds-l] Pine Siskins, Purple finches

A handful of Pine Siskins & Purple Finches continue at our feeders. Aggressive House Finches drive away the Purple Finches when they flock in. Early this morning when I went to get the newspaper, a Pileated Woodpecker took off with a huge sound of flapping wings, from the base of a spruce across
