[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Today 5-3-2017

[David Nicosia]

All,

Took a day trip to Montezuma and vicinity.
Started at Visitor's Center and the place was
pretty much void of shorebirds. Just a small
grouping of about 18  LEAST SANDPIPERS.
There could have been more as many were hidden in
the grass by the edge of the swamp.
I heard a SORA with its calls here too among others.
A nice CASPIAN TERN flew right over head
and I had my camera ready to go.

My list is here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S36508278

Next stop was the Mucklands and there still
is a lot of waterfowl and gulls. I had quite a few
BONAPARTE'S GULLs but didn't refind the LITTLE GULL.
I didn't really find many shorebirds. Highlight for me
were 54 CASPIAN TERNS loafing in two groups one on
each side of the road.

see: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S36511569

Next stop was Carncross Road and again there was
a nice gathering of CASPIAN TERNS loafing here.
I counted 51 this time. Carncross is looking interesting
as there were many many yellowlegs of both species
in the flooded corn stubble. The corn stubble made it hard to
find all the birds. I did manage to get on 2 PECTORAL
SANDPIPERS and 1 LEAST. Undoubtedly there
are more birds here, they were hard to see at midday too
with the sun at my face. The wind didn't help either.
If the water levels remain the same or drop some, this
could be a great place like previous springs.

see http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S36512868

Last stop was wildlife drive. Highlight was a continuing
LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER at Eaton Marsh.
Also 2 SANDHILL CRANES at Eaton as well.

see http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S36516018

Best,

Dave Nicosia

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

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

[cayugabirds-l] Carncross rd Pectoral Sandpipers

[David Nicosia]

Loads of yellowlegs both species in the flooded cornfield. There were at
least 2 pectoral sandpipers too along with one least sandpiper. There could
be more species as lighting was bad and winds just hampered my efforts.

[cayugabirds-l] Myers Sanderlings and jaeger

[Jay McGowan]

This morning, Jeremy Collison and I were excited to see that Bob's
basic-plumage SANDERLINGS had reappeared on the beach at Myers Point after
they made their mysterious disappearance yesterday. We were even more
excited when I spotted an adult PARASITIC JAEGER zipping north low over the
lake while scanning from the marina. Other birds of note included CLIFF
SWALLOW and ORCHARD ORIOLE.

Full checklist with some good Sanderling and terrible jaeger pictures:
http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S36507569

The male GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER was still in the central part of the
Hawthorn Orchard in the evening yesterday, along with a nice ORANGE-CROWNED
WARBLER along the north side. Today migrants seem subdued, although the
Swan Pen at Stewart Park was typically abound with Palm (14+),
Yellow-rumped (30+), and Yellow (9+) warblers.

[cayugabirds-l] More arrivals

[Donna Lee Scott]

Yesterday I saw & heard a male B ORIOLE in my apple tree. Tho i now have put 
out oranges on tree branches & dish of jelly, have not seen him. 
Yesterday evening I had 3 male ROSE BR. GROSBEAKS eating sunflower seeds at 
back yd feeders. 
Now today i think I have a 4th individual because this guy, tho all back white 
& rosy as for a male, has a rather spotty head with remnants of a white eyebrow 
or line on each side of head. 
While outside early today, replenishing birdfood in front yard, saw 5 CEDAR 
WAXWINGS eating the petals of apple blossoms. Watched for awhile & they ate a 
lot of petals. 
Something new every day!

[cayugabirds-l] Indigo Bunting

[W. Larry Hymes]

When I looked out our kitchen windows, I noticed a good-sized flock of 
sparrows.  As I proceeded to count their numbers, my eye picked up on a 
"blue patch" in the grass.  Turned out to be our foy INDIGO BUNTING.  
Hope it sticks around for a little while.  They typically pop in and 
then pop out.
