[cayugabirds-l] More Canada Warblers
I slept with the windows open, of course, and woke up thinking that I must go see Cardinal Richelieu. So, I ambled down to the little gorge on the west side of Beech Hill Road (Lindsay-Parsons Preserve) to find that Canada Warblers are back on territory there. On the way back I found a pile of yellow-shafted feathers under spruces: someone ate a Flicker. Cooper's Hawk?

[cayugabirds-l] Lindsay-Parsons this morning: birds on territory + 2 Lawrence's Warblers
Went for a nice walk around Lindsay-Parsons this morning. Not many birds that appeared to be migrating, but many recent arrivals were on territory, with Ovenbirds, Yellow, Chestnut-sided, Prairie, Blue-winged and Black-and-white Warblers all numerous, along with a couple Hooded Warblers in the woods. Noteworthy were two Lawrence-type warblers. One was building a nest and paired to a singing Blue-winged in the scrubby area just before trail goes into woods and then crosses the railroad tracks. The second was near the parking lot. Both birds were very similar -- they essentially looked like Blue-wingeds but with obvious dusky throat and eye/cheek patches. Both were studied in good light at close range, and the dusky patches were more fairly faint. Two wing bars present that appeared to be white. Lawrence-type birds have now been reported at LP for the past several years... -- Benjamin Freeman Ph.D. candidate Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Cornell University Ithaca, NY, USA benjamingfreeman.com -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Anxious about being on his own, perhaps?
Most of my Purple Finches are gone, but one male that lingers at the feeder has from time to time been delivering what the Audubon guide describes with curious specificity as the vireo-like song given in the presence of a hawk. Perhaps this short song has a more general function...? Prairie Warblers only became evident up here today, though they've been singing down below us in the central L-P Preserve for a number of days. -Geo -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
