[cayugabirds-l] Binocular eye cup found - Derby Hill

[tigger64]

The screw-in eye cup from a binocular was found at Derby Hill North Lookout.  
Please e-mail if anyone is missing it.  I know there was a field trip from the 
MAC center, possibly one of the participants?

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Killdeer Courtship at Myers

[Marie P. Read]

I've seen Killdeer doing this and similar behaviors a number of times early in 
the breeding season. Sometimes in pairs, sometimes several birds together. My 
impression is that it has both territorial and  courtship components. 
Pairs do something similar during a "nest scrape display"...the male bows, 
spreading his tail and trills constantly when the pair is at one of the nest 
scrapes the male makes when the two are deciding on a nest site.
Here are a couple of photos of this behavior:

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Killdeer Courtship at Myers

This morning at Myers Point, the group I was with observed two Killdeer 
engaging in what we assumed was a courtship ritual.  They stood on the log at 
the end of the gravel parking lot, back to back, with tails raised high, and 
backed into each other until tails were close to touching.  They then began 
imitating each other, with flicks and dips.  The whole time they were calling 
constantly, so that it sounds like one continuous trill.  No one in our group 
had ever seen the likes of it before, or heard of it.  Unfortunately we had to 
leave before seeing the end of this display, but my curiosity was piqued.

I came home and checked on Birds of North America for more information, and 
found nothing except a small reference to the 1967 paper "Prenuptial courtship 
in wintering shorebirds" by J.B. Funderburg.  Google searching this paper lead 
me to a website describing the ground courtship displays of Killdeer.  I find 
it quite interesting, so I thought I'd share it with you all!

Found on the website birdsbybent.com.  A 1929 bulletin - 146 (part 2: 202-217) 
- written by Arthur Cleveland Bent for the Smithsonian National Museum.

"The most noticeable courtship performances of the killdeer are those that take 
place in the air--the nuptial flight--but those that occur on the ground, 
although less often seen, are also spectacular. Aretas Saunders (1926) thus 
describes the display: Two birds would crouch side by side but facing in 
opposite directions. Then they would droop the tips of the wings so that they 
exposed the ochraceous patch of the lower back, spread the tail, and tip the 
breast forward, slowly lifting the wing tips till the came way above the back, 
but never covered it from view. All the while they kept up a continual call, 
the long-trilled note 't-r-r-r-r-r.' The displaying birds would often begin 
the performance or end it with a little fighting."

Try as I might, I couldn't find the original Saunders source.  Have any of you 
witnessed this behavior before?

Happy birding!

[cayugabirds-l] Large numbers of geese

[Liisa S. Mobley]

I keep hearing both Canada and snow geese flying overhead this evening.  They 
seem to flying kind of along the Six Mile Creek "corridor" towards Cayuga Lake. 
 I tried recording them a couple of times, but I live too close to noisy 
traffic to get any files worth saving.

[cayugabirds-l] Stevenson Road woodcock, snipe, owl, gulls

[Jay McGowan]

Hi all,
I stopped by the compost facility on Stevenson Road just now. Gull numbers
were not amazing, but two LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS, one ugly 2nd or 3rd
cycle with pinkish legs and one large, big-headed adult, were in the field
along Stevenson, as well as a tan 1st cycle ICELAND GULL. While I was
watching the gulls, I heard a distinctive grating call and looked up to see
a WILSON'S SNIPE flying over heading south towards some nice muddy looking
fields.

This morning before dawn I had a NORTHERN SAW-WHET OWL give a single yelp
from the spruces on Dodge Road, and two AMERICAN WOODCOCK were peenting and
displaying in the nearby open fields.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Pine Siskins and Woodcock

[Donna Scott]

Cheery bird song here too. Plus I had to put up little fence around sprouting 
daffodils to keep dog off the shoots!!
That and airport Woodcock last night & the Snowy & Grt Horned Owls this week 
make me happy!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Pine Siskins and Woodcock

[Linda Orkin]

Running on East Hill Rec way this morning there were many, many Song
Sparrows and Robins singing in the lifting darkness.  And 3 or 4 Woodcocks
peenting to the north in the field near the Raptor Barn.

Ahhh, my cheering up heart!

Veganism is simply the acknowledgment that a replaceable and fleeting
pleasure isn't more valuable than someone's life and liberty.
~ Unknown

If you permit
this evil, what is the good
of the good of your life?

[cayugabirds-l] Pine Siskins and Woodcock

[Ann Mitchell]

There are six PINE SISKINS in my yard at this moment.

Last night I got a text from Marshall Iliff, my next door neighbor, who was 
listening to a WOODCOCK peenting in our back yard. Wow! What a great yard bird! 
Thanks, Marshall!

Good birding, Ann
