An ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER is making rapid circles around the Swan Pen at
Stewart Park.

Edit: just flew across to Jetty Woods.

[cayugabirds-l] Purple Sandpiper

2014-10-29 Thread Carol Keeler
Although it sounds as if it has departed, if anyone goes to Myers and relocates 
the Purple Sandpiper, would they please post it.  This is the first free day 
I've had to come down to see it.
Thanks!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Purple Sandpiper

2014-10-29 Thread Chris R. Pelkie
Belatedly, I wanted to note that when I found it last week, it was happily 
lurking amidst the gulls on the point. It was completely hidden by them as they 
are 3x bigger than it and when clustered together made a complete wall.
Then, it is also the same color as the beach rocks. It has been animatedly 
foraging so watch for moving beach rocks!

After scanning the gulls a couple times, then looking away for a while, then 
scanning them again, lo and behold, I saw a ‘not gull’ head pop up briefly and 
knew I had found it.
A while later, they flew off and gave nice scope views (it didn’t come as close 
as for some other observers and I didn’t want to fright it off, so I stayed 50’ 
away).

So, keep trying, but it has been there for a while and may have finally beefed 
up for the next leg of migration.

[cayugabirds-l] Fox Sparrow Wilson North

2014-10-29 Thread Chris R. Pelkie
Quick turn around north Wilson Trail, found FOS FOX SPARROW foraging near the 
rise. In the creekbed by the footbridge, two gorgeously rusty RUSTY BLACKBIRDs. 
I think every one I’ve ever seen before was basically black but these two were 
really handsome brown backed, dark underside, with those bright eyes. Also 
heard a new (for me) vocalization from a pair of interacting WHITE-CROWNED 
SPARROWs, a sharp ‘peek’ almost Hairy or Cardinal-like. They jumped up on a 
shrub and did it right in front of me, so definitely them. There was also full 
song from other WCSP as well as the more usual ‘tseep’ foraging calls.

Yes absolutely. Mind warp, chilly fingers. Thanks Jay! I looked right at the 
throats and still mistyped it!

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared Owl on Bluegrass Lane (northeast Ithaca)

2014-10-29 Thread Tom Schulenberg
Marshall Iliff, Ken Rosenberg, and I had a Short-eared Owl again this
evening over the field of tall switchgrass on Bluegrass Lane. This is the
first report from Bluegrass (that I know of) since Ken had a SEOW here last
Friday, but I don't know how many times it's been looked for since then.
Tonight it appeared at 18:23 and put on a very nice show; when we finally
lost sight of it, it was drifting east over the now fallow field along
Hanshaw Road.
