[cayugabirds-l] Bomax Drive
Hi All, Last evening we checked out the pond on Bomax Drive. There were Yellow-rumped Warblers and Yellow Warblers in a feeding frenzy over the pond. Also present were Black and White Warblers, a single Palm Warbler, Eastern Phoebe, a Belted Kingfisher, and a Pileated Woodpecker. The resident Red-tailed Hawk flew through the trees causing a commotion with the nearby nesting American Crow family while we watched the feeding Warblers. At home we had a Brown Thrasher, Baltimore Oriole, White-throated and White-crowned Sparrows amid the usuals. We still have one female Red-winged Blackbird at the feeders, last week there were several.

[cayugabirds-l] Bomax Drive (Field Sparrow), Airport, East Shore Park
Bomax Drive has seen a marked decline in bird numbers over the past week. Today I turned up one NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD, a screaming RED-TAILED HAWK, one AMERICAN TREE SPARROW, a handful of HOUSE SPARROWS and four or five HOUSE FINCHES. However, I also came across one FIELD SPARROW, which made the trip slightly more enjoyable. I tried to look for gulls from East Shore Park earlier this morning, but the heat shimmer was fierce and I could only ID the three common gulls, COMMON MERGANSERS and some shimmery COMMON GOLDENEYE. I saw only AMERICAN CROWS and a NORTHERN CARDINAL around the Ithaca Airport. -- Ryan Douglas r...@cornell.edu Dept. of Plant Biology 142 Emerson Hall Cornell University, Ithaca, NY -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
