[cayugabirds-l] Turkey survey
Last year some state department had a survey form that people could send in that recorded numbers of turkeys in a flock, where they were located and other data. Is this an on-going project, and if so, can someone help in locating information about this survey?

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Turkey survey
http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/75131.html This site has the results of the 2011 winter survey for Wild Turkey flocks. http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/48732.html Gives data on the August summer surveys of hens and poults. This website is easy to navigate. Last week I counted 31 wild turkeys in one of our Lansing Station Rd. flocks in NW Lansing. It seemed to be a flock with growing poults, females and a few males, but was quite far away, so I could not tell for sure.

Tessaglia-Hymes c...@cornell.edumailto:c...@cornell.edu During the morning descent of thrushes calling, I was pleasantly surprised to record another nice example of a BICKNELL'S THRUSH flight call. This bird called at 6:29AM. This bird's call peaks out at about 5.23kHz, well above any Gray-cheeked Thrush NFC that I've seen. Most of the Gray-cheeked Thrush flight calls that I have recorded, peak out in the 3.5-4.5kHz frequency band, with a very occasional call that might peak out every so slightly above 4.5kHz. The overall duration of this call is shorter than the one from the other night, this lasting only 208ms. The quality and timbre of the call is likened to a much higher-pitched and wheezy-sounding Gray-cheeked Thrush. An edited copy of the call is attached, again to remove the cricket band and slightly amplify the sound. A screen grab of the call is also attached. Good night listening!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Turkey survey
The reported numbers look very low for the last three years in areas in NYS. For example, in the last three summer in the Adirondack's (ADK), there's been a turkey population explosion, where they are now as common as deer are in the Cayuga Basin. I saw flocks of up to 39 per sighting, daily if not near-hourly, during the summer-fall in the High Peaks. I wish I had known about the survey. Thanks.

[cayugabirds-l] confusing fall warbler quiz
I just happened to take some photos of some dull warblers this last week, and realized how similar the different species look, even though I recognized them right away in the field. I have put four photos of three warbler species at https://picasaweb.google.com/KevinJ.McGowan/Fall2012Birds#5794489153629898354 https://picasaweb.google.com/KevinJ.McGowan/Fall2012Birds#5795230232534435554 https://picasaweb.google.com/KevinJ.McGowan/Fall2012Birds#5794491003559208930 https://picasaweb.google.com/KevinJ.McGowan/Fall2012Birds#5794492081622238994 Can you match the two photos of the same species?

[cayugabirds-l] Finches and this winter
Hello all, This morning in the city of Cortland I had a small flyover group of PINE SISKINS and 2 RED-BREASTED NUTHATCHES. This could and should be a very interesting winter for irruptives. Cone crops are generally scarce over a wide area of the continent, and drought conditions have likely led to poor food quality where crops have formed. Already we've seen a large and very early (unprecedented how early it was) Red Crossbill invasion in the Great Lakes and Northeast (nearly all Type 3 Red Crossbills, which are most common in the Pacific Northwest). Also, RB Nuthatches are moving in very large numbers, siskins have really kicked it up a notch in the past week (several reports of birds moving through the area each day), and very early Evening Grosbeaks were seen in Connecticut and southern NY end of September (not typical for late September...more typical for late October/early November)... And yesterday Redpolls were reported from Massachusetts (this doesn't usually happen until mid November). Feeders could play a huge role this year, so get ready for perhaps high feed bills this winter. One thing I'll be watching for -- will the Mid-Atlantic states and Coastal Plain areas see a larger invasion of a higher density and diversity of finches than usualIt's been several years since large numbers of redpolls were seen into Maryland and Evening Grosbeaks into the Carolinas. I strongly suspect areas of the south will see a large invasion of RB Nuthatches, Pine Siskins and Purple Finches. Time will tell.

[cayugabirds-l] Freese Rd. Peregrine
Late this afternoon while birding the pond on Freese Rd. I had one flyover raptor headed southeast . It came in low behind me, about treetop level, so I only had a quick going away view, but the strong wingbeats, direct flight, and pointed wings make me believe it was a Peregrine. It looked to large for a Merlin. It was also nice to hear birds singing. The Song Sparrows were practicing , Chickadees chick a dee dee ing and many Red-winged Blackbirds chacking and singing. It sounded like spring again. Will I still need the snowblower after all this.
