Catbird also!Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn quiet

2022-05-02 Thread Linda Orkin 
Always so fun when a resident bird  that one is acquainted with shows up again. 
We too had “our” Catbird show up this morning on Muriel Street, announcing his 
return with a familiar pattern of song. It really immediately made the journey 
appear vivid in my imagination. May all travel safely.

It's also quiet out here to the west. I may have missed an earlier report
but we did find the first Green Heron at our wildlife ponds where they have
nested for several years. Closer to home, the first Catbird also visited
the feeders in the early morning.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn quiet

2022-05-02 Thread Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes 
Suan,

Thanks for the notes. Historically, the Hawthorn Orchard is fairly quiet the 
first week or so of May. That being said, birds like White-eyed Vireo (4/30) 
and Golden-winged Warbler (5/7-5/10) are possibilities here among the earlier 
migrants before most leaf-out happens. Assuming we don’t have any hard freezes, 
this could make for a good spring at the Hawthorn Orchard (as the trees go into 
flower).

The hard freezes knock back the Tortricidae (leaf-roller) moth larvae 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortricidae), and those are the primary food 
resource for neotropical migrants at this very special place (and other 
similar-type large hawthorn groves, elsewhere in the region). Warblers will 
probe the tiny leaf clusters for newly-hatched leaf-roller larvae – yummy 
protein-packed morsels. If we don’t have any more hard freezes, we could see a 
good crop of larvae for the passing migrants.

Ahead of the hatching leaf-rollers among the hawthorn trees, keep an eye on the 
tall oak trees where warblers will congregate to feed on some other insect 
larvae in the new-growth oak leaf clusters (unfortunately, much higher up than 
the hawthorns). Also, side note, many of the warblers/vireos arrive each 
morning from roosts or as overnight arrivals from the Six Mile Creek valley, 
moving in flocks upstream (east) along the stream corridor behind Belle Sherman 
School and then into the Hawthorn Orchard by mid-morning.

Good birding!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn quiet

Hawthorn orchards was quiet this morning, no big arrival due to overnight storm 
I guess. Only warblers were one yellow warbler and two common yellowthroats. 
Blue-headed vireo, eastern towhee, and wood thrush were the only other 
highlights. A few ruby-crowned kinglets and white-throated sparrows linger.
