Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn this morning

2014-05-20 Thread Dave Nutter
Ann Mitchell & I were at the Hawthorns from 7:30 to 10:30am. We missed the 
Philadelphia Vireos and Cape May Warbler, much to Ann's disappointment, and the 
Magnolia Warblers, but we did hear and see CANADA WARBLER and see 
YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER and BAY-BREASTED WARBLER in the middle and hear (and 
Ann saw) WILSON'S WARBLER in the south central hawthorns. We also heard a WOOD 
THRUSH and saw a BROWN THRASHER among others.

The Yellow-bellied Flycatcher was silent and briefly seen but beautiful and 
easy to ID: all yellowish green with more green above and more yellow below and 
no gray/white anywhere nor any contrast at edges of throat. Even the complete 
eye-ring and double wingbars were yellow instead of white.

[cayugabirds-l] Circular Halo around the sun

2014-05-20 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal
Today during my lunch walk I saw full circular halo around the sun! It was 
beautiful. I could not get the full picture even with my cell phone's wide 
angle!

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn this morning

2014-05-20 Thread Anne Marie Johnson
We were at Hawthorn from 8:00 until 9:30 this morning. The birds seemed 
more active than when I was there last week, but we didn't find any new 
species than others have reported in recent days. TENNESSEE WARBLERS and 
GRAY CATBIRDS were singing everywhere pretty much the whole time we were 
there.


Highlights included a BLUE-WINGED WARBLER often singing in the open on the 
east edge near the northeast corner, several vocal and active BLACKPOLL 
WARBLERS in the northeast and southwest corners; and two active and 
somewhat vocal PHILADELPHIA WARBLERS readily visible in the Hawthorns near 
the main path in the northeast corner. Two MAGNOLIA WARBLERS were very 
vocal early on but more difficult to see as they seemed to stay on the 
other side of dense leaves. I had a brief look at silent CAPE MAY WARBLER, 
and we glimpsed at least one silent SWAINSON'S THRUSH.
