Re: [cayugabirds-l] Blue-winged Teal - Mays Point (late report)
I had a male Blue-winged Teal at Morgan Road on March 16th. Sorry I didn't post it. I was visiting my mother in Savannah and was very busy getting ready for our Eaton Bird Club trip to Texas.

There were many many dabblers there and probably male BW Teal somewhere. David Wheeler N.

[cayugabirds-l] late flock of Snow Buntings in northeast Ithaca
This morning I had a surprisingly large number (for late March) of Snow Buntings: a flock of ca 28, feeding with ca 55 Horned Larks in fields west of Bluegrass Lane. These birds were in the bare field west of the grass stubble. Some of these birds still retain much buff in the plumage, but others looked like adult females coming into breeding plumage, with black streaked backs, much black visible on the wings, and gray or black speckling on the nape and sides of the face. I also had a Merlin hunting around the Equine Research Park complex, a flyover Great Blue Heron, and a Wilson's Snipe, all between Freese Road and Bluegrass Lane. tss -- Thomas S.

[cayugabirds-l] Dark adult Ross's (?) with injured wing
John I were at the north end of Bridgewater across the lake from Cayuga on the Lake Rd. Spur shortly after noon today where is a stretch of lawn between the large brick building before the 1st cottages to the south. By a large old tree stump on the shore north of the first cottage were 3 geese cropping grass. One was a blue. One was a snow. One, with a damaged wing, was a mix of what looked like a snow/blue cross along with the brown of a brant. Really odd. The one with a dragging right wing had a shorter fatter neck than I've seen on blues the neck was dark gray/black colored like blues. The legs were pinkish-red with knobby, darker reddish-colored elbows. The solid coloration from the back extended centrally most of the way to the top of the head then became spots that ended above or just between the eyes. There was no chin/cheek strap. The neck underneath was white. The covert (?) of the wing that was hanging down was a verey pretty light gray then along the edge of the primary was black. The back of the bird was the beautiful brown color of the Brant ... (I say brown, not black, because I carried an injured Brant to Cornell vet school about 8 yrs. ago it was a soft lovely brown.) The belly of the goose under the tail was white. The head bill were smaller than a snow the bird was smaller than the nearby blue snow with which it was feeding. I didn't have my scope so didn't get fine details. From the one book I have that shows an explanation of winter/dark adult phase of Ross's goose I am semi-settled in my mind that this is what the bird is. Judging from the way the wing hung, I doubt that it can fly since it had easy access from water to grass, it might stay nearby. Hopefully someone else can find it.

[cayugabirds-l] Raptors near Ithaca Airport
After going on the Spring Field Ornithology class field trip this morning (in the snow wind), Ann Mitchell and I decided to take a quick trip over to the Ithaca airport. It was raptor day over there! We drove along Snyder Road and saw an AMERICAN KESTREL, probably female, fly off the airport fence into the field to the south. Drove to Mohawk Rd. and didn't see anything until we returned down Snyder towards Cherry and Warren Rds. Over the grassy areas near the junk cars by the fence we saw a light phase ROUGH LEGGED HAWK soaring and hovering over the fields inside the airport fence. After admiring that bird, we came around the corner approaching Cherry Road and saw a beautiful male NORTHERN HARRIER soaring and hovering over the fields there. When we turned left off Cherry into Warren Rd., we again saw the ROUGH LEGGED HAWK and then possibly the same KESTREL over the field west of Warren Road and adjacent to the Borg Warner factory. Just down the road from that field, on the airport fence east of the road, was perched a RED TAILED HAWK, then as we drove south I saw another RED TAILED HAWK perched on a branch right over the road to the west! I drove Ann back to her car at the O Lab, and yet another RED TAILED HAWK sat in a tree on the south side of Rt. 13. As I returned down Warren Road heading north to go home, I spotted two TURKEY VULTURES soaring over the woods west of Warren Rd. near the airport entrance.

[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Av Redtail
A redtail hawk was sitting (brooding?) on the nest visible from the Stewart Ave bridge over Fall Creek, on the northside cliff looking east (upstream).

RE: [cayugabirds-l] late flock of Snow Buntings in northeast Ithaca
Susie I saw a flock of at least 20 SNOW BUNTINGS around noon along Carncross Rd, Montezuma. She heard them close by, but it took a while to actually see them walking on the snow among the corn stubble. S. S.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Stewart Av Redtail
I photographed her this morning...still on eggs I think, since when I looked the day before the nest was unoccupied for a while (probably would not happen if there were young). At one point both adults were on the nest, one incubating one standing on the edge.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Fw: [bluewing-group] Banded ring-billed gull
cool. Kevin and I have both spotted banded and tagged herring gulls in Ithaca--they came from Newfoundland! I think I might be able to find the source here..If those are the last two and first digits, then there will be no problem figuring out who banded it. Try googling ring billed gulls banding. (I will give it a go, and see if it is the same people, but the leg bands are differently configured) In any case, it can be reported at the USGS Bird Banding lab site.
