I did hear it give its distinctive chip note on the other side of the canal, but I never got a look at it. Several MYRTLE YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS were around, as well as the continuing YELLOW WARBLER and a very late LINCOLN'S SPARROW! I will check for the Audubon's again at lunch time and will post if it is still around. At Stewart Park, a female BLACK SCOTER is hanging out with the Ruddy Duck flock off the east end, giving very nice looks. Redheads and both scaup are also present. Also, nothing incredible but some cool birds at Myers yesterday morning with the strong north winds, including tons of loons (some higher up than I have ever seen a bird!), a smattering of waterfowl, and some nice Snow Buntings: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S15657710 -Jay -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology jw...@cornell.edu -- Subject: Monday Night Seminar: November 18--Behind the Scenes With Bird Cams--Live Stream From: Marc Devokaitis mdevokai...@gmail.com Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2013 12:13:58 -0500 X-Message-Number: 3 Hello All, Please join us at 7:30 p.m. on November 18th for the next Monday Night Seminar.

Host: Irby Lovette* A bird of the Canadian boreal forests, Gray Jays breed in late winter andrely on cached food to survive. But at the southern edge of the bird’s range in Algonquin Park, Ontario, the jays have been declining for the past 20 years. One hypothesis is that increasingly warmer fall temperatures are spoiling cached food. Using data from a banded population that spans more than 50 years as well as a series of novel experiments, Norris presents results that test both the assumptions and predictions of the “hoard-rot hypothesis.” *December 9 Cayuga Bird Club Meeting and Seminar* *The Way West: Birding with a Microphone* *Speaker: Bob McGuire, sound recordist, former CBC president, and editor of Birding the Cayuga Lake Basin.

[cayugabirds-l] Redpolls
Redpolls continue to come to my feeders in Newfield. There were 10 on April 1 and only 8 that I saw today. Having had none here all winter, it seems odd to have them hanging around for the past week. I assumed they were just passing through when they first appeared a week or so ago. The cold spring weather must have interrupted their plans, too. Smile: it's contagious!

Another nice view of a Bald Eagle at 11:50 today at the RR overpass at RT 13 and Rt 13A intersection. The adult was heading north toward Cayuga Lake. Smile: it's contagious!

[cayugabirds-l] Belated report: Brown Thrasher
Was surprised to see what looked like an overgrown female Cardinal in the tray of my dome feeder last Tuesday. Pecking away like a chicken and looking furtively around, was a Brown Thrasher. As I approached the window it and what I assumed to be its mate, on the ground, flew into the nearby hedge and haven't been seen since. Purple Finches have been abundant for a week now. One female comes very early each morning--hope she becomes a resident. Smile: it's contagious!

[cayugabirds-l] Purple Finches in Newfield
A pair of Purple Finches graced the feeders this morning at 403 Main St. Newfield. We've had a Turkey Vulture cruising Rt. 13 in the town since 3/20. There are several ripe deer carcasses for the taking. Smile: it's contagious!
