Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mystery bird

[phil mc]

That's a Yellow-rumped Warbler. A bit of yellow can be seen high on the side, 
and a little tuft poking pout at the rump too.

I’ve been editing some pictures I took last fall and have one I can’t identify. 
 It kind of looks like a pipit, but doesn’t match any picture in Sibley.  Can 
anyone please ID for me?

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Red-throated Loon in field near Game Farm

[phil mc]

I was there about then, missed the loon, but I did help pull that Ford SUV out 
of the ditch on Stevenson by the farm. Your mitzvah makes a better story and 
the Loon probably didn't have AAA to help him!

I went to the game farm today to census crows and try to find some year birds 
(like Black Vulture). I was looking in the active pheasant pen at the NW corner 
of farm where the Black Vultures have been hanging out. I didn’t see Black 
Vultures, but I noticed a RED-THROATED LOON sitting in the snow in the field 
north of the farm! Ten feet into Dryden!
 
  
 
Although the loon made a pitiful effort to “run” away from me, it was pretty 
simple to wrap it up in a blanket and pick it up. Its wings and feet were 
functioning well, and I didn’t see any blood, injuries, or abrasions on it, so 
I decided to take it to Cayuga Lake and release it.
 
  
 
It did not understand, of course, anything I was trying to do for it, but it 
knew what the lake was. As I was carrying it down to the shore at East Shore 
Park, it started lunging forward in my hands and making running motions with 
its feet. It swam away quickly when I released it, dove, came up, flapped, and 
started preening.
 
  
 
Not the way I thought my day was going to start.
 
  
 
I have a photo in my checklist at

Can anyone verify the two birds near the southeast shore of Stewart park?  They 
look like immature Double-breasted Cormorants with yellow beaks (caps on 
cormorant? Or no caps?). Seen today around noon. Thank you!  It is so serene 
down there now!  Gorgeous!

[cayugabirds-l] Odd (hybrid) goose at Stewart Park

[phil mc]

What looked to be a Canada/domestic goose cross in the area nearest the 
entrance to Stewart Park
Photo here:    bird of the day

| bird of the dayOnline reports had cackling geese hanging around with the 
Canada geese in West Concord, MA, so I decided to go see if I could find them.  
I headed out to have a look and found a hundred or so geese floating in the 
back of Warner's Pond. |
