[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Saturday
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
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. http://www.flickr.com/photos/seabamirum/7865726560/lightbox/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/seabamirum/7865565036/lightbox/ eBird Checklists: Towpath: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S11436974 Visitor Center: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S11437321 Marten's Tract: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S11438004 Van Dyne Spoor Rd: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S11438297 -- Tim Lenz t...@cornell.edu Web Applications Developer Cornell Lab of Ornithology -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] yard bird Ovenbird
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.
