[cayugabirds-l] Migration This Evening/Overnight?

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

The weather forecast looks rather interesting for tonight,  especially at 
locations with high levels of light pollution (i.e., Schoellkopf Field/Stadium).

Tomorrow and over the next few days is also near peak for finding fallout 
migrant Nelson's Sparrows (Hog Hole, other large wet/flooded fields, sparrow 
spots, etc...).

Keep your eyes open and good luck finding these and other gem birds!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

[cayugabirds-l] Northern Saw-whet Owl banding

[John Confer]

HI Folks,
  I am continuing my Northern Saw-whet Owl banding project for this the tenth 
year. Our location is about 3 miles southeast of Slaterville Springs at 651 
Hammond Hill Rd, referred to as HHOWLS. Last year we banded 137 owls. This year 
after two nights at the start of migration we have captured one saw-whet and 
one screech. Banding stations to the north of us have been banding for a couple 
weeks and report higher than average catch rates. I will band owls during the 
interval from now until after mid-November. Inappropriate weather occurs on 
about half to two-thirds of those nights so we only band on about 20 nights. If 
you would like to participate as a Banding Assistant please contact me at 
. Banding Assistants should try to come out for a 
specific night of the week throughout the banding season, except, of course, on 
those nights when the weather is bad.  The number of signups for this year 
provides very unequal numbers for different days. I may need to ask people if 
they could change. One-time-only visitors must make prior arrangement for a 
specific night.
as the saw-whet says
toot toot toot
John Confer

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club October Newsletter - Betsy Darlington interview.

[Diane Morton]

The October Cayuga Bird Club newsletter went out today to all club members.
However, because it is long, it has been "clipped" by gmail and other email
clients, making part of the newsletter invisible. In particular, an
interview with Cayuga Bird Club member and local conservation activist
Betsy Darlington does not appear to be there. Readers can click on the link
at the bottom of the newsletter to "View entire message" to see the missing
section.

For people who are not subscribers to the newsletter but would like to read
the interview, I've included a link below to the online version (last
article of the newsletter).

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Cass Common Mergansers

[Asher Hockett]

I took a brief stroll around the Stewart Park swan pen yesterday and there
were a half dozen Common Mergs playing around the rocks next to the
lighthouse jetty, mostly female or immature. The only notable birds on my
walk.

[cayugabirds-l] Cass Common Mergansers

[Dave Nutter]

Yesterday evening I took a walk along the Cayuga Waterfront Trail to Treman 
Marina. At dusk I saw a flock of 20 COMMON MERGANSERS flying south over the 
Inlet. They made a wide turn over Cass Park and returned toward the lake. These 
were the first Common Mergansers I’ve seen for many weeks. Maybe that’s a 
reflection on how little time & effort I’ve made, but they’ve seemed scarce at 
the south end of the lake lately

[cayugabirds-l] Migrants

[Carol Keeler]

I’ve had two White Throated Sparrows the last three days.  I’ve also had a few 
Yellow Rump warblers coming for the bayberries.  I had so many last year they 
stripped the bushes clean.  Not this year.  My only other warblers were a 
juvenile Yellow Throat which do nest in my yard, and a female Redstart.  I have 
about 10 Blue Jays mobbing the feeders.  I had a pair all summer.  Not sure if 
the extras are off spring or migrants.
