Re: [cayugabirds-l] Red Headed Woodpecker Question

[Sue Barth]

Hi Carol, those actually look more like Red-Osier Dogwood berries in its mouth 
to me.  I was surprised to see a pair of Eastern Kingbirds, another 
insectivore, eating berries yesterday morning - so maybe these birds are 
supplementing their diets with berries.  Maybe it's a seasonal behavior or 
maybe, because it's been so dry, it's another way to obtain fluids?

I'm on Twitchell now and have been since dawn and have not seen the bird...yet! 
Doesn't mean it's not around, but I thought I'd report anyhow. Having a slight 
anxiety attack :) If anyone else is out looking this morning and sees the 
shrike, I'd love to know! Thanks!

[cayugabirds-l] Tufted Duck on Canandaigua Lake

[Sue Barth]

Hello all, 

My apologies for this late report; I thought I had sent this note successfully 
from the field yesterday, but I mis-directed it!

The Tufted Duck, found by Brooke Morse last weekend,  was refound by Willie 
D'Anna yesterday.  The eBird hotspot is called "Canandaigua Lake - Vine 
Valley".  Better viewing can be found at times along S. Lake Rd. between 
houses.  The bird is hanging with a raft of Redheads and Lesser Scaup.

Good luck if you go and good birding!

Not heavy, but the radar looks like migrating birds. Who's on their way
back?

RE: [cayugabirds-l] MNWR Friday- children's specialty day

[Sue Barth]

Hi Sue,

I have a photo of a couple that are pretty close to this stage at:
http://www.chirpsandcheeps.com/.  It's the third row down on the left.
Click on it to enlarge - and then you can enlarge further using the icon at
the top right of the photo.

Hope that helps,
~ Sue

The natal plumage of the young Gallinules still showed their red heads and
wings. I found this video that shows both, but it's not very clear. If
anyone has some photos of them at this stage, I'd love to see them.

 Wonderful visit to the main refuge this afternoon where it was 
 children's day! On the drive we listened to American Bittern from the 
 shorebird wetland as we watched two Least Bittern criss cross the 
 drive to fetch and return food for their young which were on the east 
 side. Around that same area a we just missed good looks at a Virginia 
 Rail and young but did see several Black Tern, Caspian Tern Green 
 Heron and some real young on the main pool side. Here in the canal we 
 found one group of three adult Gallinule and 7 chicks still in the 
 black natal down. A bit further north, just beyond the red flag, we
spotted many more gallinule chicks that were quite a bit older. That
continued all the way to LaRue's as we saw many more.

 We also had many young coot and while watching the antics of those 
 families, up popped two Pied-billed Grebe youngsters and their parent. 
 That area produced many more coot young as we creeped along. Of 
 course, we don't have a decent telephoto lens so our pix are identifiable
but fuzzy -much like those very young Gallinules!

 Tsache tower produced a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, one eagle and at least 
 13 Great Egret among the other species present. Before heading back we 
 walked the towpath with not much to report other than butterflies and
katydids and Sandhill cranes.
