mockingbird on Stevensen Rd.

Three hours after the first recording, at 1:30pm, I heard another strange song 
at the same corner (just across the road):

For this one I did locate the singer, which was indeed a Dark-eyed Junco, 
seemingly pretending to be a Song Sparrow? I'm still not sure that it's the 
same bird that sang the earlier song, but I guess it's possible.

I don't know what it is, though I have a guess.

[cayugabirds-l] Yellowlegs at Jennings Pond

[Kevin C Packard]

Hi everyone,

 This morning I found a pair of what I believe to be greater yellowlegs at 
Jennings Pond.  They are sitting on the beaver lodge in the NW corner of the 
pond (the end nearer to Bald Hill Rd). The plumage is dark but they have yellow 
(not green) legs and showed white rump patches when flushed from the pond edge 
at Bald Hill Rd.  The bills look slightly upturned, so I'm thinking these are 
greater rather than lesser yellowlegs. The birds were still there when I left 
the pond a few minutes ago. So if you are in the Danby area, feel free to check 
them out. For what it is worth, there's also a pied-billed grebe paddling 
around the same corner of the pond.

 Happy birding,

 Kevin

[cayugabirds-l] Yellowlegs

[bob mcguire]

I spent a half hour at Myers this morning, watching the lake and hoping for a 
flight of Bonaparte’s Gulls. There was a strong southerly breeze, and not much 
going on. The gull numbers were way down from the past few days, but there was 
one juvenile Iceland Gull chasing a Herring Gull with a stick in its mouth. All 
of a sudden I heard a “tew-tew-tew” call, repeated twice, as an unseen GREATER 
YELLOWLEGS flew over headed north. I looked all around to see if it had landed 
anywhere. But, apparently, it was just passing through and checking (with its 
call) to see if there were any mates on the spit. It is only three days early 
from the mean/median date on Matt Medler’s  2000 - 2009 list so definitely one 
of the expected birds for this week.

[cayugabirds-l] Yellowlegs

[Geo Kloppel]

I spotted a Greater Yellowlegs on mud at the west end of the rte 31 causeway 
across the mucklands around noon. There was also a large Calidris-type 
sandpiper, probably Pectoral Sandpiper
