[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods 1Sep2011

2011-09-01 Thread Jay McGowan
The OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER is still appearing periodically on the main snag
at Sapsucker Woods and spending some time on some of the smaller ones in the
same area. I heard a COMMON RAVEN calling to the south here this morning as
well. A quick lunchtime walk just now produced a female/immature CANADA
WARBLER and a YELLOW-THROATED VIREO, as well as some begging juvenile
Red-eyed Vireos.  I have heard reports of Blackburnian and Blackpoll
warblers here today as well.

-Jay

[cayugabirds-l] Olive-sided Flycatcher at the Lab 9/1

2011-09-01 Thread Scott Haber
As just pointed out to me by France Dewaghe, an OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER is
currently perched on the Great Blue Heron nest snag at Sapsucker Woods as of
10:15AM. It's been squabbling occasionally with a few juvenile Cedar
Waxwings that have also set up shop on the snag.

Best,
Scott

Re: [cayugabirds-l] ??? Now:Olive-sided flycatcher in GBHer nest SSWt

2011-09-01 Thread Greg Delisle
Thanks for the tip, I spotted it there just a minute ago -- just
before I hit send on this email, it was chased off by waxwings. But
several of us saw it at the top of the bigger heron tree.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] ??? Now:Olive-sided flycatcher in GBHer nest SSWt

2011-09-01 Thread Chris Pelkie
After Jay's first alert a week ago, I was successful in spotting the 
Olive-sided sallying off the tall dead snags most visible from end of Sherwood 
Platform (50' from platform slightly to the right of a line drawn down the 
length of the boardwalk leading to the platform). He was silent the whole time, 
ignored my half-assed attempts to whistle 'whip-three-beers', and spent quite a 
while just catching good things to eat. There was a small mob of Cedar Waxwings 
around though they tended to work the bugs at a lower level. There have been a 
couple Eastern Kingbirds back in that area for the last month or longer, and 
Eastern Wood-Pewees calling from the woods (where else) but not visible to me.

Of course the next day, with camera in hand, he was not evident, though I sort 
of convinced myself on the basis of GISS alone, that I saw him on the top of a 
snag all the way down at the other end of the south east end of the pond, 
barely visible in 10x glasses and I suspect not visible from the other 
boardwalk, so I didn't make the effort.

I'm hopeful he'll be evident again today, as I'm packing the optics! It would 
be great if he was working off the Heron Tree: much easier shot!
