[cayugabirds-l] Lansing Station Rd birds
I continue to hear WOOD THRUSHES singing in the woods up and down the road. WHITE THROATED SPARROW heard in trees yesterday (Monday). Warblers are mainly YELLOW, YELLOW RUMPED, & AMERICAN REDSTART. RUBY THROATED HUMMINGBIRDS are here at feeder while the GRAY CATBIRDS & BLUE JAYS, along with the B. ORIOLES, continue to eat grape jelly. ORIOLES still on oranges and suet is disappearing rapidly; there seems to be a lot of B. ORIOLES along this road in the tall trees. Some of the non-birders mention hearing them sing, so they are good ambassadors for birds. Two neighbors have oranges and suet out, too. Have seen N. FLICKERS, & DOWNY & HAIRY WOODPECKERS. Heard the E. PHOEBE that is nesting at the barn south of here, as well as a SCARLET TANAGER singing nearby. A calling KINGFISHER zoomed over the lake. Have not heard the C. Loons for a couple of days, but may have missed them calling while I was inside. CAROLINA WRENS call outside and tend their nest under the porch roof. Sunday's afternoon treat was running across a nesting WILD TURKEY way up in the woods; she ran off as we approached and luckily my old, 13 yr. dog did not see her. I studied the nest and its 11 buff-colored, light-brown spotted eggs. (Dog was nearby doing her favorite woods thing: eating deer poop, but she loves eggs, so I kept her well away). Nest is just a big depression in packed-down dead oak leaves at the top edge of a 5-foot embankment, in the crotch of a downed tree. I sent phone pix of the nest and eggs to Robyn Bailey at the Lab of O.

[cayugabirds-l] Lansing Station Rd. Woods
I took a leisurely late morning walk in the woods, fields and thickets uphill, east side of Lansing Station Rd. in Lansing, and it wasn't too birdy, but I heard or saw: OVENBIRD (right near me, but invisible), YELLOW WARBLERS (2), COMMON YELLOWTHROAT (singing a lot), SWAMP SPARROW (in a little stream area), SONG SPARROW, DOWNY, HAIRY, RED BELLIED WOODPECKERS, FLICKER, MOURNING DOVE, ROBIN, CAT BIRD, heard 1 BROWN THRASHER, and later saw another one doing great mimics at the top of a tree across from my yard. I can still hear it out there! Also, one WILD TURKEY female in yard early this morning, then one in the woods during walk. I am loving all this GREEN against the blue of the sky and the lake!
