[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma 1-Oct-2012
Hi all, My sister and I made a relatively brief trip up to Montezuma last night. We didn't find anything too special (hence only posting now). We went around the wildlife drive and found almost no shorebirds and not really many waterfowl either, though the cooperative AMERICAN BITTERN at Benning was out along the drive again. We looked from East Road, where highlights were 16 SNOW GEESE (2 juvenile white, 2 adult blue, and 12 adult white) feeding with several hundred Canada Geese, 7 SANDHILL CRANES, a juvenile PEREGRINE FALCON on the mudflat, and the continuing AMERICAN AVOCET visible feeding in Puddlers. Lots of gulls and cormorants still but no other discernible shorebirds other than a few Greater Yellowlegs. We then spent two hours at Van Dyne Spoor Road scanning blackbird flocks for Yellow-headed, but in vain. It certainly could have been out there, we saw a lot of birds. Towards dusk starling became the dominant species visible in the reeds, but thousands of Red-winged Blackbirds came in before that and were visible in large flocks in the distance, and several hundred Common Grackles were also in tight flocks out in the marsh. We saw a few Brown-headed Cowbirds and several RUSTY BLACKBIRDS as well. Other highlights here were Black-crowned Night-Heron, 81 Pied-billed Grebes, Sora, Common Gallinule, Palm Warbler, and flyover American Pipits. -Jay -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology jw...@cornell.edu -- 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] Sapsucker Woods - White-crowned Sparrow
A beautiful White-crowned Sparrow flew in for about 25 seconds to drink some water at the lab's main feeder area at 3:18pm. Also around right now is a flock of Pine Siskins, 10 Hooded Mergansers, and also a Purple Finch, Magnolia Warbler, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and tons of Yellow-rumped Warblers. -- *David Jonas Weber Natural Resources, Cornell Class of 2016 *2011 Young Birder Bird Species Life List: 248 -- 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] Blackbirds along Hanshaw Rd

[cayugabirds-l] Fw: [bluewing-group] Nelson’s Sparrow at Tri-Cities Airport
Nelson's Sparrow reported in Broome County by Bob Grosek. Must be a pretty big flight of these guys! Dave Nicosia - Forwarded Message - From: bluew...@stny.rr.com bluew...@stny.rr.com To: Bluewing-group bluewing-gr...@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, October 2, 2012 3:53 PM Subject: [bluewing-group] Nelson’s Sparrow at Tri-Cities Airport At the Tri-Cities Airport this afternoon there was at least one Nelson’s Sparrow. The bird was located in brush along the road across from the tarmac “ponds”. The Nelson’s Sparrow had prominent orange supercillium and malar stripes. The throat and upper breast were orange and striped, and this orange area ended abruptly, like the breast of a Pectoral Sandpiper does. The head appeared to be “flat-ish”, but that may be just how he perched, with his head thrust forward. A second bird was present that had an orange malar stripe but the supercillium was less orange – I never saw it’s chest. There were other birds around, including Chipping Sparrows that kept to themselves and Song Sparrows This is a new bird for Broome County for me. Nelson’s Sparrows prefer wetter habitats and this one(s) may be just passing through. However, I notice that the Nelson’s Sparrows in Ithaca may linger in one area for a few days or longer. - Bob Grosek Binghamton, New York Every species you meet is a gold medal finalist in the evolutionary race of life -- 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/ --
Re: [cayugabirds-l] Blackbirds along Hanshaw Rd
A week ago Sunday, that is 23 September, I was at the Freese Road Community Gardens early in the morning and a flock of Icterids I estimated at 1500 birds commuted overhead from the valley of Fall Creek north-northwest and landed just across from the bee lab in the field on Freese Road. They stayed there awhile, presumably eating corn, then commuted back overhead the way they came. This is very close to where Laura's large flock was today. Whenever I looked carefully at the birds in my flock I only found Common Grackles, but because they were molting their tails, there was a lot of variety. Some had short tails like European Starlings; some had medium length tails like Red-winged or Rusty Blackbirds but with bigger head, neck, bill and a blue hood; some had just the normal long central tail feathers and the rest short, something like a mot-mot. I think Bob McGuire saw this same flock the next day. I wonder if this is the same flock. I also saw a small party of Red-winged Blackbirds which seemed not to be with that big flock. Anyway, there are interesting-looking birds around this time of year.--Dave NutterOn Oct 02, 2012, at 05:12 PM, Laura Stenzler l...@cornell.edu wrote: 5:10 pm, a large flock of blackbirds in the corn along Hanshaw Rd just west of Sapsucker Woods Rd.
