[marsha kardon]

At Dryden Lake this morning, Barbara Bauer and I saw lots of yellow-rumped
warblers, yellow warblers, catbirds, and, foy for both of us, a kingbird
and a solitary sandpiper.

[cayugabirds-l] Red-headed Woodpecker and FOY Hummer

[Ken Haas]

What a surprise to see a RHWO up in my Cottonwood tree this morning! 
Fortunately, I had my camera and got off a few shots before it flew out of my 
property heading West. I went looking for it but could not re-find it. I 
submitted to eBird with 2 photos, but I’m sorry I don’t know how to include a 
link in this email. My checklist number is S45553577.

And of course, within minutes after seeing my FOY hummer, I put out the feeder 
for him. This afternoon, I saw he brought a lady friend to the feeder!

[cayugabirds-l] Birding at Montezuma NWR

[Johnson, Alyssa]

Last night (5/10/18) I led a bird-watching tour through the refuge wildlife 
drive. Birds of interest, in order of sighting:

-Common gallinule along the beginning of the drive, in the narrow channel to 
the left of the drive
-American white pelican (sleeping with head tucked most of the viewing time) 
way out in the Main Pool
-Many barn and tree swallows on the ground- I assume picking mud for nests?
-Least sandpipers along the drive on the right side of the drive between the 
Seneca River and the Wildlife Drive
-Adult bald eagle in a tree across the Seneca River
-2 pairs of Redhead, several pairs of gadwall, blue-winged teal, mallards, 1 
male Northern shovelor in the main pool
-American bittern seen foraging and then in flight after the left hand turn 
that brings the drive parallel to I90. The bird was on the left amongst the 
cattails. Lifer bird for me! And all of my guests, too. I got a few pictures. 
Nothing fantastic, but enough to preserve the memory :) and to make a solid ID.
-Many great blue herons fishing throughout
-Several osprey hovering but never committing to a dive while we were watching
-Least sandpipers, 1 Wilson's snipe, and yellowlegs galore in the mud flat 
between the drive and I90

It was overcast and the light was low, but still had a very pleasant evening 
out birding!

Hi all,

In addition to the regular Exploration Station, this week we’ll have a “Meet 
the Scientist” table set up in the Visitor Center, also from 10am-noon both 
days. Our scientist this time is Ruth Bennett, a graduate student in 
Conservation Science who will be completing her PhD this summer.

Ruth will be sharing her research on habitat conservation for migratory birds 
in Central America. Some of her research occurs in shade coffee ecosystems, 
where certain types of coffee production can provide high quality habitat for 
migratory birds. I want to extend an invitation to all staff to stop by and 
learn more about his exciting research from Ruth. We’ll also be offering free 
shade-grown coffee to visitors.

The Exploration Station theme this week is “What Can You Do for Birds?” and 
will feature two activities to do here plus a number of suggestions to take 
with you.

Feel free to invite your family and friends. Here is the 
links on the Sapsucker Woods 
Facebook page.

Hope to see some of you there!
