I just had a couple of Blackpoll Warblers at Stewart Park--one near the swan pen and the other on the edge of the Fuertes Sanctuary woods.

[cayugabirds-l] Rusty Blackbird @ CLO
Dave Nutter and I (and a small group of bird-walk participants) saw the Rusty Blackbird a few times this morning near the Lab of O feeder garden between 9:00 and 11:00. We all had fabulous looks at the bird's rusty-edged feathers and white eyes through Dave's scope.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Singing birds
Yes, and the annual occurrence of autumnal recrudescence: The Autumnal Recrudescence of the Amatory Urge When the birds are cacaphonic in the trees and on the verge Of the fields in mid-October when the cold is like a scourge. It is not delight in winter that makes feathered voices surge, But autumnal recrudescence of the amatory urge. When the frost is on the punkin' and when leaf and branch diverge, Birds with hormones reawakened sing a paean, not a dirge. What's the reason for their warbling? Why on earth this late-year splurge? The autumnal recrudescence of the amatory urge. - Written by Susan Stiles, copyright December 1973 A posting about this usually occurs annually as well. :) Lisa On Oct 14, 2011, at 10:24 AM, Meena Haribal wrote: I heard Chipping sparrow singing on the campus!

All of these birds were in one small shrubby area. I was very surprised to hear the singing!

[cayugabirds-l] Red-headed Woodpecker
I was stunned to look out my window a few minutes ago to see a brilliant male RED-HEADED WOODPECKER in my yard at the bottom of Culver Road (southwest town of Ithaca). The bird landed first on a small sunflower seed feeder where two brilliant male Rose-breasted Grosbeaks were feeding. I was busy appreciating the black/white/red spring extravaganza (and the sunshine) when it intensified as the woodpecker flew to the feeder, then to a branch of the big maple above, appeared to cache a piece of suet, then disappeared to the east. I haven't been able to refind the bird as of this writing. This isn't far from where, last year (?) someone reported a RED-HEADED WOODPECKER at Old Hundred at the corner of Bostwick Rd. and Five Mile Dr. Lisa Wood Ithaca -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Whip-poor-will in Lansing
About half an hour ago, from the parking lot at 3109 N. Triphammer Rd. (SE corner of Triphammer and Peruville roads), I heard a WHIP-POOR- WILL calling. It was instantly recognizable despite the competing spring peepers, toads, and traffic!
