[cayugabirds-l] Salt Point Birds

2017-04-29 Thread Ann Mitchell 
Susan and I took a walk there this afternoon. Highlights were our first
ORCHARD ORIOLE of the year (maybe the first one back to that spot),
numerous YELLOW WARBLERS and BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERS. WARBLING VIREOS were
singing the whole time we were there. At the west end of Salt Point just
north of the Osprey platform, we counted 5 PALM WARBLERS feeding in the low
grasses. I don't remember seeing that many there before.

Good birding,
Ann

[cayugabirds-l] Salt Point Birds

2015-04-21 Thread bob mcguire 
A walk around Salt Point this morning turned up a pair of BLUE-GRAY 
GNATCATCHERS, foraging and calling “spee” to one another. Most of the nest 
boxes appeared to be occupied by Tree Swallows - until I noticed House Sparrows 
commanding two of them. 

Half a dozen Barn Swallows were flitting over the creek, joined by a single N 
Rough-winged Swallow. Lots of Song Sparrows, a couple of Northern Flickers, and 
a distant pair of Tufted Titmice. No other sparrows, warblers (no Yellow-rumped 
yet), or orioles - still too early. An Osprey on the eastern-most nest platform.
