[cayugabirds-l] Bluegrass Lane Snipe

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

At about 1 o'clock today, there were 20 WILSON'S SNIPE in the same spot
that I reported a few days ago. They were much closer to the road and
actually flew up as a group and made some noise at one point.

[cayugabirds-l] Bluegrass lane snipe

[Brad Walker]

Hi all, there are currently at least thirty two WILSON'S SNIPE in a muddy
drainage stream behind the long red barn (south side) at the parking area
for Bluegrass Lane. The birds are only about a hundred feet away from the
road and the light is great for photography at this angle.

[cayugabirds-l] Target short eared owl

Hi all,

I just had a gorgeous SHORT-EARED OWL flying through the Target and YMCA
parking lots in Ithaca. It eventually landed on the ground. It may be worth
checking this spot at sunset tonight.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Gyrfalcon in Fayette

[Brad Walker]

Hi all, Tim and I last spotted the bird flying down Stahl Road, north of
the field with the geese and ducks. There are still waterfowl in the area,
but a good number dispersed. If we find the bird again, we'll post.

[cayugabirds-l] Golden Eagle

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

I stopped by Sunset Park in Cayuga Heights for about half an hour this
afternoon and saw a very distant GOLDEN EAGLE to the south. A few minutes
later a Bald Eagle came from the same direction. There were also several
Turkey Vultures and Red-tails.

[cayugabirds-l] Freese Road Larks, Compost Glaucous

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

After lunch today (at about 1:15), Tim Lenz and I had a group of between 30
and 50 HORNED LARKS in the field across from the Ithaca Community Gardens
on Freese Road. They seemed to be frequenting the patch that had truck
tracks all over it. Many of the birds were very dull and brown, appearing
pipit-like from a distance. They may move closer to Hanshaw later when the
farm crew is done spreading manure there.

We also had a pair of GLAUCOUS GULLS at the compost piles before that.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl, Lower Lake Rd.

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

I was driving before, so I figured I'd wait until we stopped for ice cream
to post. This owl was just north of Wolffie's Restaurant right on the
shore. It was sitting next to a little hump and a frozen buoy.

Sorry for the delay. I figured enough owls were being posted that it
wouldn't hurt to wait a while.

Good birding,

 Chris Wood reported a Hermit Thrush from Monkey South this morning as

 starting to scan the lake, so I didn't see too much. The leucistic Redhead
 was still in the flock offshore, though--very cool-looking bird, an
 ivory-and-tan colored duck in the midst of black and rust.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Blue Grosbeak continues in NE Ithaca

[Brad Walker]

The bird is now on the west side of the road, in the north edge of the
southern corn field. It's been out in the open calling for several minutes.
On Oct 14, 2013 1:38 PM, Kevin J. McGowan k...@cornell.edu wrote:

  The female BLUE GROSBEAK continues on gravel road section of Bluegrass
 Lane, south of Hanshaw, well east of Warren Rd.

 ** **

 I saw the bird today, 14 Oct 2013, at 12:58 pm, and had it in view about 6
 minutes.  It was in the same spot where it was originally found: in the
 very SW corner of the corn east of the road, just north of the chain-link
 fence.

 ** **

 I watched it forage in the corn along the edge for several minutes. It
 once flew up and perched high on top of a corn stalk, but spent most of the
 time about chest height in the leaves of corn.  It eventually flew off to
 the SW into the corn patch just west of the road, just north of the last
 barn.  It was calling consistently the whole time (which is how I found it).
 

 ** **

 I had walked around those areas for a while before I found it.  I suspect
 the best strategy would be to sit at the NW corner of the fence and watch
 that corner of corn.  The bird seems to be coming back there, so sitting
 and waiting might be best.  Plenty of sparrows to keep your attention while
 you wait (Song, Swamp, White-throated, White-crowned, House).

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Montezuma today evening!

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

Sorry for the late reply. I was with Tim yesterday and we had all the birds
Meena mentioned at East road, plus the continuing WHIMBREL very close to
Towpath Road and a MERLIN chasing shorebirds around for a while. There was
also a (most likely) MOURNING WARBLER with some NASHVILLE WARBLERS on
Towpath. There wasn't anything really of note from elsewhere in the refuge
that we visited.

We also found all of the Egrets Meena was missing in the small wetland
across the street and down the road from the Audubon Center.

   Hi all,

 As I had a transportation today, I decided to take a long drive to MNWR.

 On the way I stopped at Myers nothing of interest to report. At Aurora, I
 saw an adult Bald Eagle, which soared for sometime parallel to my car.
 Again at Mud Lock I saw two adult Bald Eagles sitting on a dead tree and a
 few crows harassing them.

 I took wildlife drive hoping for Soras  and the alike. At Visitor Center
 there were numerous Pectoral Sandpipers (20+), one White-rumped Sandpiper,
 and one Greater Yellowlegs. In the Seneca River spillway, just at the
 beginning of the drive there were two Lesser yellowlegs in lesser water and
 two Greater Yellowlegs in deeper water.

 On the main pool lot of duck activity was evident. Lots of Pintails and
 American Widgeons were flying in the air. Tons of Green-winged teals were
 clustered around the vegetation. La Rues, New Shorebird area and Bennings
 were devoid of shorebirds, but Bennings had a few Shovlers along with other
 common species.



 May's point Pool had lots of Ring-billed gulls and one Pied-billed Grebe.



 At Knox Marsellus, there were lots of shorebirds most of them were
 concentrated here rather than near the Towpath.

 I quickly picked out 7 HUDSONIAN GODWITS, lots of Pectoral Sandpipers and
 Golden Plovers (30+) and one Black-bellied Plover among them.  Shorebirds
 for no reasons were taking off in a group and land somewhere else. I think
 this was pre-long distance take off exercise. May be many of them might
 take off today. I wonder when they take off , at dusk? A cormorant had
 caught a fish and it was being harassed by a Ring-billed Gull for quite
 sometime. Later another Ring-billed Gull was chasing a Greater Yellowleg,
 with something in its beak for quite sometime.



 Two American Pelicans were sleeping, one bill tucked inside its feather
 and the other with bill in the open.

 I also saw a few Barn and lots of Tree Swallows over the water.  A small
 flock of Bobolink flew over the marsh. Otherwise it was comparatively
 quiet.



 One thing of note was there were no Egrets anywhere in the refuge!



 Also I had a rare sighting of Tim Lenz, who got out of the car with his
 scope and scanned the Knox-Marsellus quickly in about 5 minutes and left!
 He scanned the area where the Hudsonian Godwits were seen, so I presume he
 was not interested in other birds or he might have birded the area
 previously and came for a better look of some species!



 Cheers

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods migrants

Hi all,

There was a little bit of activity on the Wilson Trail North this morning.
I found a mixed species flock at the Sherwood Platform that had two
BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLERS, BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER, and HOODED WARBLER.
There was also a MOURNING WARBLER on the inner trail before the footbridge.
The bird perched out in the open for several minutes and I managed to get
some crappy photos with my phone.

[cayugabirds-l] Northeast Ithaca and Sapsucker Woods

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

There were a few migrants around on my walk today, but the highlight for me
was a very cooperative MOURNING WARBLER singing and foraging in the open
with a CANADA WARBLER and a MAGNOLIA WARBLER on the Future Road between
Sanctuary Drive and Salem Drive. The bird was on the north side of the
trail in the brush closer to Salem Drive.

Sapsucker Woods had a few migrants on the Wilson Trail including CANADA
WARBLER, YELLOW-THROATED VIREO, BLACKPOLL WARBLERS, and ALDER FLYCATCHER,
the last of which was at the Sherwood Platform. Sapsucker Woods Road had a
WILSON'S WARBLER across the street from the Frog Barn and just to the north.

Other interesting sightings were a baby COMMON GRACKLE being fed by its
parents and a BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER singing a disjointed song on the
peninsula.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Cornell Siskin Flock

I had a similar experience on campus yesterday and encountered three

 distinct buzzy calls that made it clear the din was from a fairly large

 Day Hall. I had a single bird in this same area yesterday, but today the
 count was much higher. 25? 50? 100? I did not have time to stop and count,
 but there were at least a few dozen there from my quick look while walking
 by (I was late for a meeting).

 They may stick around for a bit and be worth a look if you're passing
 through campus today.

 Good birding!

Nothing uncommon on my walk this morning, but there was a beautiful
LINCOLN'S SPARROW in the woods on the path to the powerline cut from the
parking area.

[cayugabirds-l] Ithaca Pine Siskins

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

On my ride to the CLO today, I found a flock of about 100 PINE SISKINS
feeding just off of Salem Drive, immediately adjacent to Salem Park. The
birds were in the trees above a house with feeders still out and were
making a lot of noise. I came across a smaller group of about 10-12 birds a
few streets over lurking above another set of feeders.

Otherwise, not many migrants out on the ride to work. I did have an
Alder/Willow Flycatcher on the path between Salem Drive and Sanctuary
Drive. The bird didn't vocalize but was conspicuous for a bit. I had a
similar experience with a bird yesterday at the Sherwood Platform. It
called several times, but I don't have their single call notes down yet, so
I left it at Traill's.

Wilson Trail North, COMMON YELLOWTHROAT singing along the powerline cut
near the Fuller Wetlands, YELLOW WARBLER near the eastern powerline cut,
several singing EASTERN TOWHEES and HOUSE WRENS, and , although not a new

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods Migrants

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

There wasn't too much action on the Wilson Trail North today, but the
Sherwood Platform did have a singing/calling BROWN THRASHER and a
cooperative BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER foraging in the willows at eye level.

Slightly further west on the path was a group of three handsome
YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS.

The/A large group of RUSTY BLACKBIRDS was also present again just south of
the building, but they seem to be moving around a bit.

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods Birds Rail and other birds

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

I was able to hear the VIRGINIA RAIL calling in the wetlands near the
airport this morning. I first heard it when still on the main road, then
after about 5 minutes, it began calling more often. There was also a
beautiful WILD TURKEY with a well-trimmed beard walking around the area.

The pond still has several COMMON MERGANSERS and a PIED-BILLED GREBE. These
were joined today by two male AMERICAN WIGEON along the Wilson Trail North.

Not at the lab, but in the area was a calling EASTERN TOWHEE near Sanctuary
Drive.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Broad-winged Hawks, etc.

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

Jay McGowan and I (later joined by Kevin McGowan) did an hour long
hawkwatch, that Ken referred to, at Sapsucker Woods yesterday. We had a few
BROAD-WINGED HAWKS, several SHARP-SHINNED HAWKS, AMERICAN KESTRELS,
NORTHERN HARRIER, BALD EAGLE, DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS, and COMMON LOON
and other migrants.

The full list can be found here:

   I'm surprised others haven't posted the results of various sky counts

 Northeast Ithaca neighborhood, and at least 5 more streaming over as I
 walked from the parking lots o the Lab of O.

  Heading out for a late lunch and seeing that Mt. Sapsucker was
 adequately covered (but what did they see?), I grabbed a sandwich and
 headed behind the Ithaca airport to skywatch. Surprisingly I saw no more
 Broad-wings, but I did have a migrating RED-SHOULDERED AND A SHARP-SHINNED
 HAWK. The strangest sighting though was a shimmering flock of birds high
 against the blue sky — I got therein the scope and they were 9
 breeding-plumage BONAPARTE's GULLS circling high overhead.

  Also back near the north end of Mohawk Rd. I saw a male sapsucker that
 had a clear red spot on the nape — otherwise didm' look too different

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Lab of O Snipe Display

[Brad Walker]

Hi Donna, First is the where employees park (where handicapped parking is),
the second is the employee lot near the exit from the parking areas and the
third lot is the one near Route 13.

I hope that clears it up! We're so used to having all the employees just
know, I didn't think it would be confusing.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] anyone still interested in Bohemian Waxwings? (90 in Sapsucker Woods this morning)

[Brad Walker]

As of about 10 minutes ago, these birds flew off over the woods along the
powerlines/parallel to route 13. But they seem to like that spot, so it's
worth checking every so often.

Other birds of note in that spot include singing PURPLE FINCH and FIELD
SPARROW, along with several Phoebes.

  Hi all,

I’ve been away for the last while, and so I’m not sure if people have
 had their fill chasing BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS, but at about 8 AM this morning I
 saw a flock of 90 perched in the trees a bit to the west of the white barn
 (Kip’s Barn) in Sapsucker Woods.  As far as I could tell with my
 binoculars, there was not a single Cedar Waxwing with the group.  The last
 that I saw, the birds were flying down into some shrubs along or near the
 power line cut.  They were easily audible from the north part of the Wilson
 Trail: I was hearing them well before I came to a location where I could
 see them.

 ** **

These birds were something of a curse-breaker for me: the first
 Bohemian Waxwings that I’ve seen in New York (after having seen them in a
 surprising number of other places over the time that I’ve lived in Ithaca,
 including in two other countries in the last 3 weeks).

[cayugabirds-l] Bluegrass Lane Vesper Sparrow

[Brad Walker]

Hi all, 

On a walk around Bluegrass Lane with my housemate, I found a lone VESPER 
SPARROW on the north side of the large oval horse enclosure on the south side 
of the woodlot. The bird flew up from the base of a fencepost as our dog ran by 
and perched on the fence for a minute before the dog scared it off to the wood 
edge.

[cayugabirds-l] Sunset Park Migrants

[Brad Walker]

Hi all, 

Tim Lenz and I watched migrants from Sunset Park today from about 10:30am-2pm. 
We had about 45,000 CANADA GEESE in total with 7 CACKLING GEESE and 19 SNOW 
GEESE mixed in. Towards the end of the count, Tim spotted a GREATER 
WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE landing at the Swan Pen with two Canada Geese. This is most 
likely the same bird that Jay later saw at Stewart Park. (We went to Stewart 
Park at about 4 and had the Greater White-fronted Goose for about 20 minutes 
before it mysteriously disappeared. None of the 5 or so people present could 
re-find it after about a 5 minute gap).

At Sunset Park we also had TUNDRA SWANS and NORTHER PINTAILS migrating withe 
Canada Geese. There were also raptors moving through including 2 SHARP-SHINNED 
HAWKS, RED-SHOULDERED HAWK, 3 NORTHERN HARRIER, 4 ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS and 3 
GOLDEN-EAGLES. 

Here's the link for the full list:

Re: [cayugabirds-l] short-eared owls @ Morgan Road

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

After these first few owls flew by the buildings on Morgan Road (they didn't 
come out until about 5:45), Scott Haber, Susan Newman and I  decided to head 
down to the distant birds near Carncross Road, where we could see birds 
fighting with each other and perching from afar.

When we arrived at Carncross Road, we found a close bird flying by over the 
newly constructed bridge, headed back towards Morgan Road. (This may have been 
the bird that Colleen saw at about the same time). We also had a distant bird 
near the treeline to the Northeast and a very close and cooperative bird 
hunting back and forth over the berm just to the north of the road, for a total 
of 6 birds in the immediate area. Such beautiful birds!!

 Finally made it up to Morgan Road today on the way home from Oswego. About 18 
 folks were gathered to view the possible evening's flight. After several 
 distant possibilities and half the group leaving for Carncross Road, we 
 headed to our car where the 90-degree angle of the buildings funneled in the 
 distinctive bark of hunting owls. The remnant of 6 birders quickly relocated 
 and were treated to an up close fly-by and several minutes of watching two 
 owls flit back and forth over the field. 
 Many thanks to my husband for his last look and listen, which alerted us to 
 the owls.

[cayugabirds-l] Dean's Cove Ross's Goose

[Brad Walker]

At about 4:30 today, Tim Lenz, Luke Seitz and I had a ROSS'S GOOSE flying
overhead with a group of about 200 Snow Geese headed out to the lake over
Dean's Cove. We don't know where the bird ended up, but it's around
somewhere!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Lots of redpolls

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

I've been working in the skinning lab since last September and most of the 
birds we work on (I believe) have been dropped off at the front desk at the Lab 
of Ornithology. You can put them in a ziploc bag with the following info on a 
piece of paper:


Species
Date found
Location Found
How the bird died (if known)
Your name


I'm not sure what the protocol is if you're going to go to the lab, but this 
should work in most cases.

  Although this is not a happy way to acquire such information, if folks are

  We can't lay claim to a flock of 200. More like a private party of 6. One
  is pale halfway up the back and noticeably fatter but it also appears to be
  puffed up, perhaps like Laura's. I could not see under the rump. The flanks
  appeared to have light striping and the face profile did not appear dished,
  so I have to go with Common R.
  
  On another unsatisfactory note, there was a dead redpoll under the feeders
  this a.m. The cleanliness gods are telling me some housekeeping may be in
  order.
  
  BTW, I have seen only one report here of an increase in the Junco yard
  count. We have had 10 to 12 consistently for the past 2 months. That is
  twice our count from previous winters. Have others seen higher counts than
  normal?

  We have a flock of around 200 Redpolls at our feeders thus morning, maybe
  more.
  They are very active, flying up every couple of minutes, then raining back
  down to the feeders and the ground. I've noted at least one that appears to
  be much larger than the rest, but I'm not sure if it is just more puffed up.
  And one possible Hoary, but it does not sit still long enough to be sure,

[cayugabirds-l] Lab of O Hoary Redpoll

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

A Hoary Redpoll was seen earlier in the afternoon at about eleven thirty
this morning at the lab feeders. The large group it was with seems to have
returned to the front feeder area, so it might be worth checking from time
to time.

[cayugabirds-l] Lab of O Cackling Goose

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

There is currently what appears to be a CACKLING GOOSE (small, rounded
head; short, almost stubby bill, smaller than all the CANG) swimming around
near the small island in the front pond at the Lab of Ornithology.

I took a video with my phone through one of the scopes to check again and
will share that with anyone that wants to see it when I have it online.

If you're interested in coming to look for it, the geese all usually fly
away in the next half hour or so.

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods Road migrants, 9/28

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

There was a nice collection of migrants on my walk to work this morning
from Salem Drive to the lab. See eBird links for full reports.

I cut through Future Road (a trail connecting Salem to Sapsucker Woods
Road) and, on the way, heard my first-of-fall PINE SISKIN.

http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S11675495

Future Road had a nice assortment of migrants, with the highlight being a
pair of WINTER WRENS hopping about together, one of which was singing a
whisper-song.

http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S11675528

Sapsucker Woods Road produced two new life Lab birds for me: a pair of
low-flying CASPIAN TERNS and a very cooperative YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO near
the Frog Barn. Other groups of the usual suspects were found in clusters
all the way down the road.

[cayugabirds-l] KENTUCKY WARBLER at Sapsucker Woods

[Brad Walker]

Chris Wood and David Bell found a KENTUCKY WARBLER at the Sherwood Platform
a few minutes ago. I stumbled upon them right after and we relocated it on
the far side of the tiny pond just east of the platform. It was loosely
associating with a warbler flock and was staying closer to the ground. We
haven't resighted it for about ten minutes. The flock was headed towards
route thirteen.

  I just spoke to Jacob Johnson, who is not on the Cayugabirds list but
 wanted to report a possible Whimbrel.  He last saw it around 4 pm today
 (Wed) in the fields across from the Tompkins County SPCA at 1640 Hanshaw
 Rd. in Ithaca.  He said it’s been there all week. Here is his description
 (he was using binoculars):
 ~14” tall with blue-grey legs, downwardly curved bill which was orange at
 the base, striped head (longitudinal – parallel to the neck, not
 crosswise), white eyebrow and a mottled back.
   He’s not sure it’s a Whimbrel but would love a confirmation. It would be
 a life bird for him!
 Please post to the list and copy Jacob if you confirm (or not).  *

[cayugabirds-l] Curlew Sandpiper...No

[Brad Walker]

Jay McGowan and I searched for the Curlew Sandpiper at Knox Marsellus for
quite a while this morning without success. The light was bad from East
Road and the birds were distant from Towpath. It could easily still be
there, but we were unable to find it.

The Wilson's Phalarope was still present below the parking area in East
Road.

Other sandpipers included: stilt, pectoral, semipalmated, least, spotted,
solitary and short-billed dowitcher.

  After a discussion about Cape May Warblers  I decided to stop at the
 Ithaca City Cemetary to  check the tall spruces.  I didn't get that far.
 Just below the Stewart Ave. entrance  there's a short road that goes off
 sharply to the north and over that road and up toward Stewart Ave. stands a
 white pine with its top 20' dead and sere.  I saw a lump near the top that
 turned out to be a MERLIN with its back to me, either grooming or picking
 at some food.  After a minute of watching it, it dive bombed a cardinal and
 then flew to the south into another white pine.  I refound it perched near
 a dense packing of sticks that might be a nest. To find the putative nest
 tree find the bench with the short flagpole on the left of the main road
 where it bends sharply to the right.  Stand across the road (on the north
 side) at the bend and sight to the left of the flagpole looking SSE.  There
 are several pines up there just 50 yards or so below Stewart AVe.  The bird
 and nest (or collection of sticks) was in the left-most tree maybe 20-25'
  from its top.  Merlins have been reported thereabouts perennially but this
 the first one I've found there.

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods Lincoln's Sparrows (and other migrants)

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

I came across two LINCOLN'S SPARROWS on my walk around Sapsucker Woods
today. The first was in the weedy area between Timmy's Walk (near the front
feeders) and the road. It hopped up several times and was also seen by Jay
McGowan and Livia Santana. The second was on the inner path of the Wilson
Trail, just on the other side of the feeders. Other highlights included:

calling Rusty Blackbird
Great Crested Flycatcher
Ovenbird
Magnolia Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Blackburnian Warbler
Palm Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
Alder Flycatcher (spotted by Jay this morning. I found it hanging out near
the Wilson Trail bridge giving pip calls)
a brown Hairy Woodpecker (I couldn't tell if this bird is stained or
naturally brown, but it's been hanging out near the front feeders all week.)
and what appeared to be a Northern Waterthrush on a nest (I'm going to
check back on this spot to see if the bird is there this weekend.)

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Philadelphia vireo - sapsucker woods

I continued my walk after being bummed about missing the Golden-winged
Warbler and found a PHILADELPHIA VIREO from the mulched path at the
powerline cut. This was presumably a second bird, being a bit far from the
Wilson Trail. It was actively foraging in the aspen on the Lab side of the
path. Also present was a warbler flock with BLACK-THROATED BLUE, MAGNOLIA,
BLACK AND WHITE and YELLOW-RUMPED warblers.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Barred owl at Sapsucker Woods

[Brad Walker]

Hi all, sorry for the terse email, I was walking with a friend and didn't
have much time.

This is presumably the same owl that seen last week sitting in the same
spot in the same tree (on the Severinghaus trail). If you go o look for it,
don't stay too long. The bird flushed after multiple visits last week. It
gives great looks with binoculars if you make a brief stop.

[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park Great Egret (Tues AM)

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

Sorry for the late posting. This morning, Tim Lenz and I had a GREAT EGRET
flying up the west side of the lake with a pair of Great Blue Herons. When
I first spotted the bird, I thought it was a gull. Tim later saw it in the
scope and saw it was an egret.

Also of interest is a (maybe continuing) HOUSE WREN in the powerline cut at
Sapsucker Woods. I thought there may have been a second bird, but I'm
fairly certain it was just original one flying in front of me to *chu*
some more.

[cayugabirds-l] Western Grebe at south end

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

Tim Lenz and I just spotted the WESTERN GREBE
far from shore, but visible from the swan pen at Stewart Park. There is
also a woman walking around on the exposed mud with two dogs, leaving very
few other birds to be seen.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Canada Geese migrating

[Brad Walker]

Tim Lenz and I spent half and hour walking around Sapsucker Woods. We had
about 7000 Canada Geese pass overhead in all. We found three CACKLING GEESE
among them. One lone bird as soon as we stepped out of the building, in a
low group of about 50 birds, and a pair in a group of about 125 birds.

There weren't many land birds to speak of, but there were 4 Red-winged
Blackbirds at the feeders and a Red-tailed Hawk that swooped towards us and
kept following us around the trails.

 You have no idea.  I had flocks of geese going over Brooktondale at 0730.
 Susie  I got to Mt. Pleasant at 0930 and stayed for 2.5 hours.  A lot of
 SNOW GEESE early; mostly CANADAS for the last hour.  Go there if you can.
  I
 am estimating we saw several hundred thousand at a minimum.  They covered
 the sky.  As far as we could look both east and west, at any time there
 were
 10-20 large flocks visible with optics.  Also 15 PINTAILS, 15 SWANS, 10-12
 KILLDEER, thousands of BLACKBIRDS, 3 CACKLING GOOSE candidates.  Oddly, no
 hawks or eagles--one each local RED-TAIL and TV.  Had to quit--neck cramps.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Double-crested Cormorant

[Brad Walker]

Tim Lenz and I saw a Cormorant swimming around two or three days ago on our
morning Stewart Park count.

On Thu, Feb 23, 2012 at 4:22 PM, Dave Nutter nutter.d...@me.com wrote:

 For much of the winter, and as recently as 17 Feb I have only seen a
 single Double-crested Cormorant at the south end of Cayuga Lake. This past
 Sunday, 19 Feb, Norm Trigoboff reported to the Natural-History-L listserv
 that he saw a dead cormorant:

 I walked the eastern part of the Stewart Park shore and found a washed up
 cormorant that seemed much smaller up close than I would've thought.


 I didn't see any cormorants during the first half of the week, and I
 thought perhaps there were none here, but today while walking at Treman
 Marine Park I saw a living immature DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT resting on the
 substructure of one of the docks in the marina. Were there 2 all along? Is
 this a new arrival? Was the carcass something else?

[cayugabirds-l] Lab of Ornithology Rusty Blackbirds

[Brad Walker]

Hi all, 

Sorry for the late report. Jay and I spotted a/the pair of RUSTY BLACKBIRDS 
singing quietly across the road from the middle parking lot at Sapsucker Woods 
this evening at around five. They were perched on top of an aspen and were in 
the same spot when we left.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Western Grebe

[Brad Walker]

To elaborate more on the grebe's position: Tim and I were looking from the
Swan Pen at Stewart Park when I spotted the grebe this morning. From
Stewart Park, if you look to the northeast along the east shore, you'll see
a squat, yellow shed near a break in the trees where the road is visible.
The grebe was swimming around there looking back and forth. For the last
five minutes we were there, the grebe was swimming alongside a Red-throated
Loon for a great comparison.

Also present was a gorgeous adult male CANVASBACK, in the canal next to the
boathouse. I've never seen one so close.

A western grebe is currently swimming around straight out from the swan pen
at Stewart Park. It's actively diving and a little difficult to pick out
initially.

[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park Eagle and Peregrine

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

This morning Tim Lenz and I visited Stewart Park between 8:30 and 9. We
couldn't see the Western Grebe, but we did get nice looks at a distant
RED-THROATED LOON swimming with the DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT. Other
highlights were an adult BALD EAGLE that flew by and landed above Jetty
Woods, a beautiful adult PEREGRINE FALCON perched on the lake side of the
Swan Pen on a snag and a singing EASTERN BLUEBIRD that could be heard from
Jetty Woods.
