I suggest watch the videos in HD mode at 1080 resolution.

Submissive behavior occurs at 0.54 minutes in the first video!

Yesterday I was thinking of going on the morning group walk to MNWR, but I came 
back from Moth Week Party at Treman SP only around 1.00 Am and after that too 
spent another hour at my moth sheet, which was fun where we saw over hundred 
species of moths. So when I got up at 6.00 am, I decided to go back to sleep 
again.

Here is the Picasa link to some of the moths and people

https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/118047473426099383469/albums/6040743710476999841?sort=1



Finally, after three pm I decided to go MNWR. Again several time along the 
road, I felt like turning back as I was feeling sleepy, but continued! I do not 
regret the decision.



I wanted to see Least Bittern so I decided to first stop at the main drive. I 
took a mile walk of Seneca way loop  near the visitor center and I found lots 
of shorebirds at the Seneca spillway before LaRue's.  So I spent sometime 
taking videos of the behaviors. among shore birds there were several Lesser 
Yellowlegs, a couple of greater Yellowlegs, two Solitary Sandpipers, two 
Spotted Sandpipers, five Pectoral Sandpipers, 7 or 8 Least Sandpipers and 
several Swamp and Song Sparrows.  I spent more than an hour here.



I watched two Yellowlegs, one was Lesser and the other I think was Greater 
Yellowlegs juvenile, at least by the behavior. They were feeding close by each 
other but their territory did not overlap. They kept going and round and round 
and feeding within their distance. Once one of them seemed to have gone into 
the territory of the other bird. Other bird approached it. Suddenly the first 
yellowlegs sat down as if waiting for an attack and in submissive manner. See 
in the attached video. Then they were chasing one of the new comers, three or 
four individuals that were feeding at the site chased  the bird in concert till 
the bird departed to LaRue's lagoon.  See in the second video link.



Then along the drive I watched each musk rat island was occupied by a family of 
birds. Several ones were occupied by Common Moorhen families. It was 
interesting to watch with which parent chicks would go for a feeding expedition.



Then there was a family of Pied-billed Grebes, which were successful in the 
getting fish. This made a young Ring-billed Gull try to steal from the babies. 
Smart babies dove as soon as they saw gull heading towards them. Once gull 
tried to go under water to snatch the a fish from the babies.



Then as I was driving further ahead a LEAST BITTERN flew from the marsh where 
there was some water and go towards LaRue's. Then shortly I saw the second one. 
 It was not very satisfying look but good enough.



As I continued I found several more muskrat islands occupied by families of a 
Wood Duck with female in attendance, Coot's family of pretty large babies, a 
family of Mallards. It seemed that they were ready to sleep for the night.



A Muskrat was busy cutting mouthful of grass and taking it to the nest and 
coming back again and again for some more. I don't know if it feeds its young 
with grass or the male was taking the grass for nursing female.  It was working 
just a few feet from my car.



I also saw Marie Read's tree where the swallows were congregating for the roost.



Finally by the time I headed to Knox-Marsellus sun was already behind the 
clouds and light was getting bad. But I found Ken Rosenberg sorting out birds. 
He found several Stilt Sandpipers, two Bonaparte's gulls, the pelican which was 
hiding somewhere for sometime came into the open.   We also saw six or seven (I 
forget)  Sandhill Cranes silently come into the marsh.

Plus there were lots of odonates including several darners and also saw three 
Giant Swallowtails, Monarchs (including a mating pair) and other butterflies 
too!



Overall it was a fantastic day!



And on Saturday night at Treman SP, there were two baby Great-horned Owls were 
continuously begging and on Friday night at the Watkins Glen state park a 
Barred Owl called a couple of times.  And yesterday morning as I was going to 
the lab, as I turned on Pine Tree Road from Honness Lane a Raven flew overhead 
calling loudly.

[cayugabirds-l] Shorebirding Sunday 27 July

2014-07-28 Thread Dave Nutter

The number of shorebirds at Knox-Marsellus was hard to count, but I saw 28 
people out on the dike on the field trip. Thank-you to everyone among that 
group who shared an observation, a scope, or a question. Special thanks to Bob 
McGuire and Jay McGowan for extra teaching, to Andrea Van Beusichem for 
arranging the field trip program, and to the refuge staff for the tricky 
business of managing water levels so there is plenty of mud and very shallow 
water and not too much vegetation during the long shorebird migration. 

We did not add any new species of shorebirds species at Knox-Marsellus - there 
are more scheduled field trips for that - but there was good variety:

KILLDEER - vocal, but surprisingly few seen
SEMIPALMATED PLOVER - a few close, more distant
SPOTTED SANDPIPER - at least one distant
GREATER YELLOWLEGS - several including at least one close
LESSER YELLOWLEGS - plenty
SOLITARY SANDPIPER - one flew in calling, alit in Puddler, and promptly 
disappeared
STILT SANDPIPER - at least 3 in breeding plumage
PECTORAL SANDPIPER - several
LEAST SANDPIPER - quite a few hiding on the mud
SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER - hundreds on mud and in shallow water
SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER - a few, fairly distant
LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER - a couple close & cooperative enough for scoping.

It was a good chance to practice ID of:
* Least v Semipalmated Sandpiper
* Pectoral Sandpiper
* Greater v Lesser Yellowlegs
* Stilt Sandpiper v Lesser Yellowlegs & Dowitchers
* Short- v Long-billed Dowitcher in breeding plumage. This exercise was my 
personal goal. The flat-backed-while-feeding and plain-side-of-neck-and-breast 
bird was the Short-billed Dowitcher. The fat-and-hump-backed-while-feeding, 
which showed a more-black-than-white barred tail while preening, and 
darkly-speckled-on-the-side-of-the-lower-neck-or-upper-breast bird was the 
Long-billed Dowitcher.

Uncommon birds included a couple of distant resting breeding plumage 
Bonaparte's Gulls, a pair of adult Sandhill Cranes, and a few foraging Black 
Terns. Other favorites of mine included several Great Egrets, a pair of 
Ospreys, an immature Bald Eagle, and a flyover Green Heron. The continuing (3 
days) American White Pelican was the only rarity. It was not very active, so in 
addition to being interesting it was very useful as a reference point.

Two other locations for closer views of shorebirds are worthy of mention:

Near the beginning of the Montezuma NWR Wildlife Drive on the right-hand side, 
after the woods and before Larue's Lagoon there is a low, often muddy spot 
connected to the Seneca River alongside the Seneca Trail. This place is good 
for Spotted and Solitary Sandpiper, either Yellowlegs, Least and Semipalmated 
Sandpiper, and most of those species were there yesterday. One can walk from 
the visitor center along the trail or pause while driving the Wildlife Drive.

After I got home I learned that the Sanderling, which I had neglected to chase 
for several days, had still been seen that morning at Myers Point, so I drove 
there with Laurie for a change of scenery on our evening outing. The park was 
pleasantly busy with people, yet the first place I checked, the flooded 
algae-covered rocks between the islands in Salmon Creek, I hit the jackpot. 
There were 2 KILLDEER, 2 SPOTTED SANDPIPERS (1 with & 1 without spots), 6 LEAST 
SANDPIPERS, 4 SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS, and the SANDERLING, complete with 
vestiges of breeding plumage in the form of tiny maroon streaks on the face, 
throat & breast. After Laurie walked a circuit of the park I beckoned her to 
see the Sanderling, and then I noticed a SOLITARY SANDPIPER as well. An Osprey 
called overhead, a Green Heron flew by and settled on some low branches in the 
water, and several Hooded Mergansers dove in the deeper part of the creek. The 
shorebirds even ignored several people slowly paddling by on boards. What a 
great spot, well worth the $3 for non-Lansing residents.

2014-07-28 Thread Mark Chao

Tilden and I found an adult SANDERLING on the spit at Myers Park in Lansing
on Monday evening at around 7:30 PM.  We also found one Least Sandpiper, one
Spotted Sandpiper, an Osprey, a dozen or more Caspian Terns, and many
swallows over the silty swollen waters at the mouth of Salmon Creek.

one juvenile among them. The only shorebirds I can find are two LEAST 
SANDPIPERS.
