[cayugabirds-l] BALTIMORE ORIOLE in Aurora - 1242017
An unexpected visitor to our bird feeders was a pleasant surprise. This is the very first time I have seen or photographed a Baltimore Oriole in Aurora, N.Y. in December. It was in stunning contrast to the leafless trees and the more drab usuals. Wow!

[cayugabirds-l] Osprey Fatality
This evening around 4:45 pm I discovered an Osprey on Rt. 90, south of the Village of Cayuga. It was in the north lane in front of the Mennonite farm across from the nesting platform. It was apparently if not obviously the result of having been hit by a vehicle. Part of one wing was severed. After retrieving the bird and severed wing I deposited both near the base of the nesting platform; it appeared to me to be a mature unbanded bird. The remaining Osprey seem to be in distress as it called from the tower. I was unable to file a report from the site not having an internet-connected phone.

I waited in vain from 4:00 - 6:30 pm this afternoon for the Purple Sandpiper's return.

[cayugabirds-l] Turkey Vultures
I had the good fortune of seeing the biggest kettle of TVs ever (for me) as they circled and swooped over the parking lot and the general vicinity of Wegmans in Auburn, New York. I counted over 100 and approximated that possibly 125 were participating. I looked for Black Vultures but did not see any. Many landed on a nearby cell tower south of the Wegmans parking lot ( Genesee St. and Loop Rd ).

[cayugabirds-l] Possible Eared Grebes - Aurora Bay
At approximately 3:25 P.M. this afternoon while briefly scanning Aurora Bay, immediately south of the Wells College maintenance plant, I spotted what looked like a pair of Eared Grebes about 300-400 yards off shore. This was just behind and adjacent to the gas pumps. In addition there were 20 Bufflehead and a pair of Common Goldeneye nearby but moving in the direction of the Wells College Boathouse. The CG drake meandered away from the small raft but joined the group periodically. I am hopeful that more astute birders will be able confirm definitively the species of grebes. In addition, between 10:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M., we saw an assortment of birds on various country roads in and around Aurora including Canada Geese, Snow Geese, American Crows, Horned Larks, Snow Buntings, D-e Juncos, Blue Jays, House Finches, House Sparrows, American Robins, European Starlings, Rock Pigeons, Red-tailed Hawks, Merlin, Northern Harrier, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Downey Woodpecker, Northern Mockingbird, Mourning Doves, etc. An eBird report was filed.

[cayugabirds-l] MNWR Wed 732013
Tom Riley of Oneida Birds and I birded Montezuma on Wednesday morning for about 4 hours. One of the highlights was a young and healthy looking red fox which crossed the paved road that leads to the Visitor's Center. The fox seemed mildly concerned with us as it meandered on the road before trotting west into the wild flower section adjacent to the Visitor Center. The wildlife drive was rather quiet however we did get a good look at an immature BE in the high snags to the left of the drive just after the sharp left turn approaching Benning Marsh. Mays Point proved to be the best and most productive stop of the morning. After seeing two Black Terns flying over the Mays Pt marsh we walked along Mays Pt. Rd. towards the Seneca River bridge. In addition to a pair of Red-headed Woodpeckers flying back and forth over the open area on the north side of the road we also saw the following: Indigo Buntings Yellow Warbler Redstarts Common Yellowthroat Warbling Vireos Red-eyed Vireos Swamp Sparrows Song Sparrow Chipping Sparrows Turkey Vulture Rock Pigeons Red-bellied Woodpecker northern Flicker Red -winged Blackbirds Green Heron Bald Eagle Great-crested Flycatcher Eastern Phoebe After finishing at Mays Point Rd. we drove to Armitage Rd. to look for the Prothonotary Warblers and the Yellow-throated Vireos. After an unsuccessful search we were forced back to the car by unwelcoming mosquitos who tormented us at will. The forested section to the west of the bridge would have required either knee-high rubber boots or hip waders. Sorry for the late posting. Good birding.

[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park Swan Pen Saturday 4202013
I observed a pair of Yellow-rumped warblers at the Swan Pen between 4:20 p.m. and 5:20 p.m. I did not see the Audubon YrW. In addition I did scope a Yellow Warbler(foy) on the east end of the Swan pen and a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher on the west end. There were also a dozen TVs circling the boat house for a brief period of time.

[cayugabirds-l] American Woodcock
Lee Ann van Leer's earlier post prompted me to visit the site near Snyder and Mohawk Rds. adjacent to the Tompkins County Airport this evening where I was not disappointed. I arrived at 7:20 p.m. and at approximately 7:35 p.m. I began to hear the distinct peent sounds coming from the thickets on the north side of Snyder Rd. and about 75 feet from Mohawk Rd. Within five minutes to ten minutes the bird flew up about 25-30 feet and crossed over Snyder and over the gravel yard and descended into the hedgerow to the left (east). That was my only sighting but it was well worth the effort. Good birding.

[cayugabirds-l] Possible Golden Eagle Over Aurora
I spotted what looked like an adult Golden Eagle flying at 200-300 feet and going south over Aurora about 30 minutes ago. Ithaca birders might be able to confirm or disprove the sighting if the bird stays on its course. I did not see any mottled feathering. Good luck.

[cayugabirds-l] MNWR Tonight - 7:30 pm until dark
While parked along the auto drive adjacent to LaRue's Lagoon I had the good fortune of observing a pair of American Golden - Plovers for the better part of an hour. Both birds seemed unwary but curious as they skittered about within a few yards of my vehicle; they foraged for food the entire time on the embankment between the auto drive and the wetlands on the east side. Both birds appeared to me to be in adult non-breeding plumage without any evidence of white or black. I am planning to return tomorrow morning to hopefully photograph the pair and confirm the identification. In addition to the AG-Ps I also discovered a pair of Semipalmated Plovers that also stayed within the vicinity of my location but remained mostlyon small islands surrounded by shallow water. Both the AG-Ps and the S-Ps were easily observed with binoculars. Late evening sunlight made observation quite easy. Good birding.

[cayugabirds-l] Blackbirds Caspian Terns - Montezuma
At about 7:15 p.m. this evening there were huge flocks of blackbirds ( RwBs, C. Grackles, E. Starlings) converging on MNWR near the Visitor Center. My guess is that there were several hundred thousand birds swirling, swarming and streaking over and through the wetlands and trees for approximately forty-five minutes before all movement concluded as the birds descended into the rushes and nearby trees as the sun was setting. I felt privileged and very excited to be witnessing a magical spectacle. Occasionally a flock would dive low over my position making it possible to hear and feel the sound of the flock as it swooshed in an undulating or serpentine manner. Regrettably I did not have a video camera to record this amazing event. In addition there were 16 Caspian Terns that flew in a very loose flock over the Visitor Center parking lot on a southern tack.

[cayugabirds-l] Swans and Geese - Village of Cayuga and MNWR
I saw approximately 300-400 swans on Cayuga Lake near the Village of Cayuga tonight; probably Tundras. Also thousands of Snow Geese and Canada Geese flew over Montezuma at sunset ( 5:20 to 5:50 p.m. Snows were flying south on the western side of Cayuga Lake and landing just off shore directly across from Cayuga and slightly south. Flock after flock of Canadas were flying southeast and crossing over the canal slightly north of the Visitor Center. The swans were on the water gathered just north of the train trestle and 300-400 yards west and northwest of the Cayuga Marina, formerly the Agway Plant. In addition droves, flock after flock, of blackbirds were migrating through Montezuma from north to south directly over the parking lot adjacent to the Visitors Center. It was too dark to make positive identifications but shapes and flight patterns led me to believe that most were RwBs. It was a great evening of birding.

[cayugabirds-l] Sodus Bay
Tom Riley of Niles, New York and I had the pleasure of going to Sodus Bay on an absolutely beautiful day with perfect conditions. We discovered a flock of approximately 300 Long-tailed ducks in the channel adjacent to the lighthouse. The ducks were very active moving about from one side of the channel to the other. There were a few White-winged Scoters and a Greater Scaup mixed in with the flock of Long-tailed ducks. No King Eider present. We counted approximately 55 Trumpeter Swans around the edges of the of the back or the inland part of the Bay. The final stop at Twin Oaks Campground added significantly to what was already a great day of birding. As Gary Kohlenberg reported we had the pleasure of witnessing a birding spectacle with over 15000 Redheads and a pair of Western Grebes for good measure. The Aythya flock was like watching a kinetic sculpture as the birds were either rising or descending or they were constantly swarming into various formations.

At about 1:30 p.m. yesterday a raft of approximately 150 American Coots were gathered near the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake in Aurora between the Masonic Lodge and the United Ministry church.One lakeside resident reported that the Coots had been in the area for two or three days. This evening at approximately 5:40 p.m., two to three miles east of Long Point state Park near Aurora, I saw and heard a Great-horned Owl on Dixon Rd. south of Britt Rd.
