[cayugabirds-l] Salmon Creek Cerulean Warbler, Lansing sparrows
Hi all, This morning I found a singing male CERULEAN WARBLER along Salmon Creek Road in Lansing. It was west of the road near the north end of the forested area that includes the Salmon Creek Bird Sanctuary. The bird was singing at about (42.6122, -76.5367). Although it was audible from the road, it was fairly far back in the woods. It was singing a decidedly atypical song variation, so I'm glad I was able to get a look and confirm that's what it was. A recording of the interesting song and some photos are here: https://ebird.org/atlasny/checklist/S70340365 This is the first report of this species in the Salmon Creek area that I'm aware of since 2014, although of course two decades ago it was the epicenter of the Cerulean population in Tompkins County. Hopefully this one will stick around and maybe have some success. There were two widely spaced reports of Ceruleans on Shindagin Hollow Road this spring, which is intriguing, but otherwise there have been very few records outside obvious migrants in the country in recent years. Meanwhile nearby, at least five VESPER SPARROWS were singing from fields near the northern corner of Conlon Road (42.5815, -76.5148). I didn't check on them today, but recently some of us have had up to three singing GRASSHOPPER SPARROWS in the fields on either side of the north end of Scofield Road, also in Lansing.

[cayugabirds-l] Salmon Creek Bird Sanctuary (FLLT), Fri 5/8
I went looking for birds on Friday morning at the Salmon Creek Bird Sanctuary, a Finger Lakes Land Trust preserve in Lansing (6:10-7:00 AM). This 33-acre preserve used to host as many as 48 breeding pairs of Cerulean Warblers as recently as 1998, but today as in other recent years, the species seemed absent. I did find plenty of other birds on the preserve and neighboring land along the road, including an adult BALD EAGLE flying up the creek; at least four singing BLUE-WINGED WARBLERS; three YELLOW-THROATED VIREOS; several BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERS; and lots of ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS, WOOD THRUSHES, and BALTIMORE ORIOLES.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Salmon Creek Bird Santuary
Carl told me he saw Ceruleans blue winged warbler about 50 feet south of intersection w Brooks Hill rd., west side of road. i have walked all up down Salmon Crk rd in that vicinity for an hour found no Ceruleans or Cuckoos. I also stopped under tall trees near the creek all the way down the rd. from Ludlowville. ALL I got at the FLLT Sanctuary were a few male Scarlet Tanagers Great Crested Flycatchers, a pair each of Rose Brst Grosbeaks Common Yellow Throats, a good look at Red eyed Vireo, Hairy Woodpecker, Eastern Wood Peewee, yellow Warbler A. Robins, BC Chickadees, Great Blue Heron flyover.

[cayugabirds-l] Salmon Creek
A short listen to the chorus at the Salmon Creek FLLT preserve this morning revealed the usual breeding species, and no migrants- and no Ceruleans, as has sadly been the case for several years now. I did not hear Acadian Flycatcher, but did not go up the side ravines. Scarlet Tanager E wood-Pewee Blue-gray Gnatcatcher Great Crested Flycatcher Least Flycatcher Veery (lots) Wood Thrush (not enough) Catbird (too many) Rose-breasted Grosbeak Indigo Bunting Yellow-billed Cuckoo Warbling Vireo Red-eyed Vireo Yellow-throated Vireo all the usual woodpeckers Yellow Warbler Common Yellowthroat (tons) MOURNING WARBLER- heard in the dense shrubbery on the right before Brooks Hill Rd- have had them there in other years) Am Redstart (distant, down by the creek) Cedar Waxwing (a gang) B. Oriole (many) C. Raven (breeding??? they are around regularly) and probably others I have forgotten- I was just there for the overall musical effect- you want precision, ask somebody else... it was a beautiful, soft, singing morning. Even with all those Catbirds. --John Greenly Ludlowville -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
