[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Saturday

2012-08-26 Thread Jay McGowan
Just a quick not to say that as far as I know, no one relocated the Curlew
Sandpiper yesterday. The Buff-breasted was seen, in the morning and then
just before dusk, out on the mud peninsulas best viewed from East Road.

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Yesterday--Cerulean, Canada Warblers, Yellow-billed Cuckoo

2012-08-26 Thread Tim Lenz
Although I imagine I'll look back on this summer as the summer I spent
looking for the Curlew Sandpiper I'll try to post some other birds from
yesterday's visit to Montezuma.  At Towpath Rd. I heard BLUE-GRAY
GNATCATCHER, PILEATED WOODPECKER, VEERY, and a singing YELLOW-THROATED
VIREO.  A SORA was walking around underneath the cattails.  The wildlife
drive held little of interest save seventeen LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS and an
adult GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULL at the visitor center.

Martens Tract now has algae mats that support small numbers of peeps.  If
you walk east past the pond to there is a dried up bog with a good mix of
ducks and shorebirds.  The highlight here for me was my first Cayuga County
SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER.  A chickadee flock on Van Dyne Spoor Rd. had a male
CERULEAN WARBLER and the first fall record (in eBird) of CANADA WARBLER for
Wayne County.

An evening visit to Towpath turned up many of the same birds as in the
morning, the most exciting addition a YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO that glided past
and posed cooperatively for photos and video.

[cayugabirds-l] yard bird Ovenbird

2012-08-26 Thread Regi Teasley
I was surprised to see a rare (for us) yard bird on the patio and 
surrounds, an Ovenbird.


Actually, we have seen one in the past a time or two in fall (and, 
spring, if I remember correctly).

We have a woodchip path and that seems to be a draw.

We're on West Hill in the city.
I guess gardening for wildlife pays off!
We've also enjoyed an array of butterflies including Giant 
Swallowtail, Painted Lady, Black Swallowtail, Spicebush Swallowtail, 
Monarchs and Skippers.

All beautiful.

Regi
