Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ticks rashes
And one can get a large, oval solid rash that is not like a bull's eye one with separate rings, and still be free of Lyme Disease! Last year I had a tick embedded in my neck/collarbone area and it made such a rash (solid red, no rings); later blood testing and lack of symptoms showed no Lyme Disease (luckily). However, sometimes it still itches there. Even though we all took precautions, I just came back from the SFO Cape May, NJ trip with a small reddish tick embedded in the small of my back. Did not look like a Deer Tick, but I am keeping an eye on the area (with a mirror). Found and removed within 24 hours of embedding, I think, so it would not have had time to disgorge its intestinal contents. Yuck. However, I have not seen many ticks around Lansing area since our winter summer weather a few months ago. Maybe the later extreme cold killed off that first bunch? But they will be back.

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard - 15 May 2012 - Very Quiet
This morning, from about 7:30 to 8:00am, there was very little activity, except from local birds. Possible migrant arrival Common Yellowthroats. I'm fairly certain that the Wood Thrush has departed from the site. Female and male American Redstarts were in the North ravine. At least five Common Yellowthroats (including one female) throughout. One Pileated Woodpecker was perched on and calling from the dead tree in the field near the Northeast corner. A new push of migrants is possible tonight, between the approaching cold front to our West and the rains and stationary front to our East. Calm winds becoming South overnight. Any birds will either push on through or possibly stop over at various sites throughout our region. Good birding! Sincerely, Chris T-H -- Christopher T.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ticks rashes
Here is what the New York State Health Department says about deer tick bites: Although not routinely recommended, taking antibiotics within three days after a tick bite may be beneficial for some persons. This would apply to deer tick bites that occurred in areas where Lyme disease is common and there is evidence that the tick fed for more than one day. In cases like this you should discuss the possibilities with your doctor or health care provider.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler territories?
One was singing at the top of the Yellow Trail on Hammond Hill on Saturday morning (trail to the left of the parking area, follow it all the way to a few meters before it ends at a T intersection). The bird was in the clearing area right there, the same place one was last year. I also had one singing along Mount Pleasant Road in the first area with woods on both sides down (west side) from the observatory on Saturday. Not sure if that one will stick or was just a migrant, but it sounded pretty close to the road. Several HOODED WARBLERS were singing from the Cornell property on lower Mount Pleasant Road at Deerhaven Drive. Other birds on Hammond Hill included 3 singing male BAY-BREASTED WARBLERS together in an oak, several NORTHERN PARULAS, and the usual woodland breeding warblers (Canada, Magnolia, Blackburnian, Black-throated Blue, Black-throated Green, Black-and-white, redstart, Yellow-rumped, Chestnut-sided, Louisiana Waterthrush.) -Jay On Tue, May 15, 2012 at 6:26 PM, Kenneth Victor Rosenberg k...@cornell.eduwrote: Enough about ticks and rashes!

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler territories?
Hi Ken and everyone, If the sporting/listing aspect of birding is the goal, rather than witnessing actual breeding behavior, then I might suggest trying the Wilson Trail North in Sapsucker Woods between 7 and 8 AM on May 17. Three of the past four years, I've found one right there at that very time. Last year I also found a second Mourning Warbler on May 17 on the Dryden side. Seeing Mourning Warblers in Sapsucker Woods may be a little harder than seeing them on territories on Beam Hill and in our nearby state forests, but I'm not sure to what extent. With patience, I had excellent views of two of the four Mourning Warblers in Sapsucker Woods, as well as a frustrating glimpse of a third. One remained out of my sight.

Seeing Mourning Warblers in Sapsucker Woods may be a little harder than seeing them on territories on Beam Hill and in our nearby state forests, but I'm not sure to what extent. With patience, I had excellent views of two of the four Mourning Warblers in Sapsucker Woods, as well as a frustrating glimpse of a third. One remained out of my sight.

Enough about ticks and rashes! Does anyone know the locality of any easily accessible Mourning Warbler territories in the Hammond Hill/Yellow Barn SF areas? There used to be an easy one at the power line cut at the top of Tehan Rd. and another along the south stretch of Yellow Barn Rd. I know they've been found at Hammond Hill this spring, but not sure exactly where. We have a group visiting from outside the region and this is one of their most wanted target species. thanks!

[cayugabirds-l] Yellow-throated Warbler song question
This afternoon (15 May) I went to Pier Road beside Newman Golf Course and also across Fall Creek in Renwick Wildwood. Among other things, I hoped to refind the YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER. I believe I eventually heard it, but I was not able to see it, in or near a large Sycamore in Renwick between the two paths well north of the concrete arch. While trying to find the bird I worked on memorizing the song. I wasn't perfect in that department either, but I notated it:tup tup tup TEE-DOE TEE-DOE TEE-DOE TEE-DOE TEE-DOE du duI actually forgot to count how many of the louder TEE-DOE pairs of notes there were, but the last one or two of those pairs was slightly lower in pitch than the initial few, and they seemed similar to some recordings I've heard of Yellow-throated Warbler, but I haven't heard recordings with any such introductory notes nor with such a bland tag at the end. I wonder if this description matches what other observers have heard from the Yellow-throated Warbler which has been in this area during the past week, and also whether either this description or what you heard from this individual is similar to songs from this species others have heard elsewhere. Thanks.Other things I found included a female COMMON MERGANSER entering a hole in a dead tree, and a pied EUROPEAN STARLING, which I've seen before, on the Stewart Park lawn north of the suspension bridge. It is mostly normal but with several small white splotches scattered over its body and a large white patch on its upper right breast.--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! --
