[cayugabirds-l] Black-billed Cuckoo

2013-05-16 Thread Geo Kloppel
More local breeders seem to have returned this morning to UNA 189 (Beech Hill 
Road and Brook, West Danby), including Black-billed Cuckoo and Canada Warbler. 
Also had Red-eyed Vireo, Red-breasted Nuthatch, even a House Wren, plus plenty 
of the warblers and other birds that I've mentioned previously.

[cayugabirds-l] Northeast Ithaca Migrants

2013-05-16 Thread Brad Walker
Hi all,

There were quite a few migrants around Northeast Ithaca and Sapsucker Woods
today. On Tareyton Drive, Jay McGowan alerted me to a CAPE MAY WARBLER
which I later found in a large-ish mixed species flock. The complete list
is below:

http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S14130682

At Sapsucker Woods, there was another CAPE MAY WARBLER singing on the road
in. There were also many AMERICAN REDSTARTS and MAGNOLIA WARBLERS (one of
which Mark and Tilden Chao and I found singing a strange song). The
complete list for Sapsucker Woods Road and the Wilson Trail, respectively,
are below:

Birds were initially scattered at the start of my morning. By the time I left 
and the skies cleared, vocal activity had picked up and many birds had moved 
into the taller older section of hawthorns in the Northeast corner.

Highlight: BLACKPOLL WARBLER singing odd rapid-fire song in NE corner.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snow Goose and Sora

2013-05-16 Thread John Confer
The location Jeff mentions for the Sora is the same as where I heard one 
about 2 weeks ago. Nice to know it may be staying around. The darn bird 
did not respond to playbacks on my Big Day. It certainly is not a bird 
that I am very fond of.

Cheers,

John

On Monday I noticed that the Bobolinks had returned and were fighting for space

calling. I felt sure that there were more but they were so busy it was hard to

[cayugabirds-l] OT:Webinars

2013-05-16 Thread Linda Orkin

 
 Hey all,
 
 Just to continue with the theme of my Cayuga bird club newsletter column of 
 a few months ago, I wanted to alert people to a series of duck id webinars 
 that are now available from the Lab of O.  I did the first one of the series 
 as it was in development a while  ago and it was very useful with nice 
 interactive features.  Now there are 4 total. We are so lucky to have many 
 new learning tools at hand.  You can find out more about this at
 
 http://www.birds.cornell.edu/courses/home/
 
 I see there is also a home tutorial now available for bird id tips.  
 
 http://www.birds.cornell.edu/courses/home/tutorial/
 
 These are worth checking out.  Might be especially useful for people 
 contemplating leading Beginner Bird Walks too.  Great information for both 
 learning and teaching. 
 
 Good birding.
 
 Thanks 
 
 Linda Orkin
 President, Cayuga Bird Club.
