Hi Chris, Fascinating! Since you're getting Doppler shifted call sequences from cuckoos, can you also determine direction of travel? -Geo Kloppel -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES

[cayugabirds-l] Lindsay-Parson's--this morning and questions

The CLAY-COLORED SPARROW continues to sing persistently in the northeast portion of the first field along the blue trail. It's easy to hear as you approach the area. It seems to move from perch to perch singing, oblivious to observers. At one point I was walking along the trail, and it popped

[cayugabirds-l] honeybee swarm

I am watching a honeybee swarm in my backyard now-1345. They're settling on a spruce branch. No guarantees how long they may stay. 799 Valley Rd., Brooktondale. S. Fast -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

Hi Geo, Thanks! If I had a stereo setup, I could probably listen to and estimate a direction of movement; however, this is best calculated with an array of 3-4 additional microphone elements and using time-delay measurements to determine location. Such a setup would allow localization of each

[cayugabirds-l] OOB: photos of birds taking flight

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Lindsay-Parson's--this morning and questions

In the past I have thought that the best way to find a Worm-eating Warbler was to walk off trail on the huge extremely steep hillside in the dry oak forest below the elevation of blueberry ground cover and above the elevation of maples, starting from the red or blue trail at the bottom, the Abbott

[cayugabirds-l] Great crested flycatcher

I just had a Great crested flycatcher land on the top of my bird feeder, stayed for app. a minute and droped to the ground. I did not see him fly away, but he was gone when I tried to sneek out and get a picture. I'm in the village of Newfield and was very suprised to see it. --

[cayugabirds-l] Trails at Lindsay-Parsons Biodiversity Preserve

Hi, Everyone-- Someone on the listserve today asked about pedestrian access up the steep east side of Cayuga Inlet Valley, on the Lindsay-Parsons Biodiversity Preserve. I asked the Land Trust's executive director, Andy Zepp, to respond, and this is what he wrote back: I’m not on the list. Would

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Lindsay-Parson's--this morning and questions

My experience with the three routes Dave mentions is that they all work. I have even been successful sitting at the picnic table on top of the Pinnacles while a Worm-eating Warbler was feeding in the flat section of woods at the top. They seem to forage over a pretty large area. They have also
