[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma warblers
Did fairly short walks on the Esker Brook/South Spring trails at Montezuma each of the last 3 days. Besides for dozens of yellow-rumped warblers and numerous GC Kinglets, I’ve found Blackpoll, Magnolia, Tennessee, Hooded Warblers. Also had a N. Mockingbird and YB Sapsucker.

[cayugabirds-l] OT: disposing of monofilament fishing line
On the Natural History listserv Norm Trigoboff sent this link to directions to make a container in which to collect and recycle monofilament fishing line. I thought birders, particularly the club's Conservation Action Committee, might find it interesting. http://www.boatus.com/foundation/monofilament/ --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! --
Re: [cayugabirds-l] OT: disposing of monofilament fishing line
Thanks Dave and Norm, yes. The conservation committee will be organizing a Cayuga bird club work party very soon to put together at least 3 disposal bins. Candace noticed stranded monofilament line at Myers the other day in the same tree that the kingfisher died in last spring. She is getting in touch with the town to remove it. But Myers will be our first installation site. Linda Orkin.

[cayugabirds-l] CBC Field Trip Sunday
One more in a string of beautiful early fall days - it was a wonderful morning out be out looking for birds. Thirteen folks joined me today, including several students whose sharp eyes and ears greatly enhanced our experience. We began with a brief stroll around the parking lots at the Lab while waiting for the sun to warm us a bit and for the bird activity to pick up. There were a couple of Rusty Blackbirds, at least four Tennessee Warblers, several Blue-headed Vireos and a Mourning Warbler in the vicinity of the Fuller Wetlands. Shucking one layer of clothing, we headed over to the south Park Preserve to walk the loop. Kinglets, both Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned, seemed to be everywhere. In addition, we ran into two feeding flocks that gave us good looks at Black-throated Green, Pine and Magnolia Warblers as well as more Blue-headed Vireos. By far the highlight of the trip was a crisp adult LINCOLN'S SPARROW (originally heard calling - what I thought was a Common Yellowthroat). It moved around a bit, but most of us did finally get a good look as it perched in the open on the tip of a pine bough. We ended the morning at the community gardens, Freese Road, with fairly good comparisons of Song and Savannah Sparrows. A single Field Sparrow was seen by several, as was a female Indigo Bunting. The best bird(s) for Freese Road was a pair of late-migrating Bobolinks seen way at the south end of the weedy field.
