Re: [cayugabirds-l] downtown pileated woodpecker/waxwings
Cedar Waxwings also were in the midst of the furor in Bank Alley yesterday, calmly eating cornelian cherries (I think) while the Physics Guys shot puffs of air in their direction.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] eBird report of YBFL
I wonder if this was identified simply on the basis of being an Empidonax with a yellow belly, or whether it showed a bold, even, complete eye-ring, a yellow-gray throat with low contrast to the face, a round head, and a short tail, and if it gave vocalizations of Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. Note that many Empidonax flycatchers have yellow on the belly, and there is one such Willow Flycatcher whose territory is next to the tower at Tscahche Pool on NYS 89. The map coordinates given (below) are for a point within the impoundment (now mudflat) nearest to a part of the dike which is closed to the public, so I also wonder how accurate that location is.--Dave NutterOn Jun 05, 2011, at 05:30 AM, Dave Spier northeastnatural...@yahoo.com wrote: from eBird: Yellow-bellied Flycatcher (Empidonax flaviventris) - Reported Jun 04, 2011 11:00 by Brett Haranin - Montezuma NWR--Tschache Pool, Seneca, New York - Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8t=pz=13q=42.9904617,-76.7721363ll=42.9904617,-76.7721363 -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! --
[cayugabirds-l] warblers and cormorants
This morning I spent a couple hours in the woods between the Cayuga Medical Center and the Black Diamond Trail (the railroad grade above NYS 89 in the Town of Ithaca. I was searching for a species which I'd found there in previous years, and I'd about given up when I finally heard a HOODED WARBLER singing. It changed location frequently and covered a huge swath of forest. If I hadn't seen it fly several times I might have thought I was hearing males from several territories sequentially. At one point as it sang near a stream a LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH began singing close by, and I suspect the Hooded Warbler's loud and a bit similar song set it off. I hadnt't seen or heard any Louisiana Waterthrushes beforehand. A (late?) BLACKPOLL WARBLER sang from Locust Trees near the birding kiosk in Cass Park yesterday evening and this morning. Several DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS are still in our area. --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! --
[cayugabirds-l] Armitage Road Today
There was quite a dawn chorus already going when I arrived at the green bridge on Armitage Road around 5 AM today. As I got out of the car, one, then the other PROTHONOTARY WARBLER sang out. One on either side of the road, they were easily the loudest singers there. They were joined early on by a WARBLING VIREO, YELLOW WARBLER, AMERICAN REDSTART, and COMMON YELLOWTHROAT. After a half hour, a CERULEAN WARBLER began to the south of the road and farther back in the woods, two NORTHERN WATERTHRUSHES. From time to time, I could head the churr of a RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER and a nearby PILEATED WOODPECKER. Eventually a SWAMP SPARROW kicked in. Although it was already light, I heard no owls (might have expected a Barred) and no Acadian Flycatchers. By 7 AM I was joined by several other birders, including Paul Anderson, Chris Tessaglia-Hymes, and Melissa Groo. The woods on the south side of the road are beginning to dry out, but there is still plenty of water to the north.

[cayugabirds-l] Fwd: eBird Report - SenecaMeadowsWP, 6/5/11
Eleven members of the Eaton Birding Society went to Seneca Meadows Wetlands Preserve today. BOBOLINKS and SAVANNAH SPARROWS ruled the day, seeming to call from everywhere. Fewer in number, but just as vocal, EASTERN MEADOWLARKS added their voices to the morning concert. At the marshes to the south end of the property we had AMERICAN BITTERN and LEAST BITTERN flying over and COMMON MOORHEN calling from the cattails. PIED-BILLED GREBES were firmly entrenched in every marsh on the property. A family of WOOD DUCKS were observed on the south pond. A very pleasant day.
