[cayugabirds-l] Swan Pen/Sapsucker Woods Tuesday
A walk around the Swan Pen at Stewart Park this morning produced a single PALM WARBLER foraging along with a late YELLOW WARBLER and a distant singing WARBLING VIREO. I found no sign of either Laughing or Lesser-Black-backed Gull. Then, from about 9:10 until 9:50, I walked the northern section of the Wilson Trail at SSW. Just past the bridge I encountered a feeding flock consisting of 2 MAGNOLIA WARBLERS, BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER, BLACKPOLL WARBLER, BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER.

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker woods, 1-1:30 Tues
Hi all, On a lunch break walk along the Wilson Trail north at Sapsucker woods today, I first ran into Kevin McGowan, a good sighting to start with. Together we walked to the Sherwood Platform where there was a small flock of fast moving migrants which included a WILSON's WARBER (nice dark cap), 2 MAGNOLIA WARBLERS and a PHILADELPHIA VIREO. Kevin headed back to the Lab and I followed more slowly along the edge of the pond where I came across another MAGNOLIA and another WILSON's warbler (not the same one, light cap) and a frantically singing PHOEBE. Nice ½ hour walk! Laura Laura Stenzler Lab Manager Fuller Evolutionary Biology Program Cornell Lab of Ornithology 159 Sapsucker Woods Rd.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods Tuesday
I was also at Sapsucker Woods this morning, from 7:20 to 9:40am. For me most of the birds were near the parking lots and the Lab entrance. In addition to the warblers Bob mentioned, I saw:NASHVILLE WARBLERCOMMON YELLOWTHROATYELLOW WARBLERCHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLERPALM WARBLERWILSON'S WARBLERThere were also several SWAMP SPARROWS, RUSTY BLACKBIRDS, EASTERN PHOEBES, a YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER and a young male ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK. My only Vireo species was RED-EYED.My walk around the pond was very quiet except for (because of?) a juvenile BROAD-WINGED HAWK on a snag near the Sherwood Platform.I was probably inside the building when Bob was ending his walk. Laurie insisted I get the dead birds out of our freezer, so I was handing them off to Holly at the front desk. Some of them were from May 2007!--Dave NutterOn Sep 11, 2012, at 10:22 AM, bob mcguire bmcgu...@clarityconnect.com wrote:from about 9:10 until 9:50, I walked the northern section of the Wilson Trail at SSW.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park Warblers
This morning at 9:30 I birded around Stewart Park, the course, and Jetty Woods until Noon. I must have just missed Bob. It was my best day so far for migrants. Among the trees from the Swan Pen to the golf course I saw all three Vireos plus the following warblers- Bay-breasted, Tennessee , Blackpoll , Palm, Chestnut-sided , Nashville, Yellow-rumped , Pine, Magnolia , and Wison's, some with multiple copies. Yellow-rumps were the most numerous and many had very worn plumage. The Palms were brown Western varieties. I know there were more missed as I was seeing them fly to other trees as I was scanning the ones in front of me. If I was only faster on the fall ID's , lol Gary On Sep 11, 2012, at 10:33 AM, Gary Kohlenberg jg...@cornell.edu wrote: Lots of warblers at Stewart Park this morning !

[cayugabirds-l] Merlin and Northern Harrier - Danby
Yesterday morning after dropping my daughter at school on King St, I drove down Nelson Rd in Danby and noticed a raptor sitting on a hay bale. I pulled over to look at it more closely and realized it was a male NORTHERN HARRIER. I watched it fly low, tilting and hovering against the strong west winds while it hunted over the fields. Later that day, while returning along the same road, I found a MERLIN hunting from the wires, swooping down and sending flocks of starlings aloft. I got a few pics of the two, and have uploaded them to the Cayuga Bird Club gallery, please click below if you'd like to see (the link brings you to the main gallery page, then you have to click on my album). http://www.cayugabirdclub.org/gallery Melissa Melissa Groo Fine Art Photography http://melissagroo.com -- 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] Hudsonian Godwits - MNWR
Jim Tarolli and I made a sunset trip to Knox-Marsellus and Puddler's Marsh. We were hoping to see the Avocets even in fading light, and I wondered if maybe a Laughing Gull might get in with all the Ring-bills now there. Highlight around dusk turned out to be 4 Hudsonian Godwits in Puddler's Marsh. Only about 20 Great Egrets seen today. Darkness was the enemy and we didn't have time to do anything resembling a good survey of all that was going on.

[cayugabirds-l] Shorebird Ids
Hi Everyone, In case there are those of you that are confused by fall shorebirds, I found this link interesting. I wish I had read it before I went out kayaking today. It gives some good id behavior that looks helpful. http://www.aba.org/birding/v40n4p32.pdf Diana Whiting http://www.dianawhitingphotography.com/ -- 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/ --
