And my FOY Bobolinks seen on the fields across from the SPCA on Hanshaw Rd. And

Hopefully they will not be mowed until after young have fledged, if they

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Bobolinks

2020-06-29 Thread Wesley M. Hochachka 
I have a small amount of first-hand experience of searching for Bobolink nests 
during a study of the effects of habitat fragmentation on nesting success.  My 
impression is that Bobolink nests can be extremely difficult to find, and I 
would discourage attempts to find a Bobolink nest for the purpose of casual 
observation.  Adult Bobolinks have several behaviors that make nest finding 
difficult, including:

  *   Male activity is only loosely associated with nest locations.  A male can 
be activity singing in one area, actively foraging in another, and with their 
nest in yet another area entirely, within an overall area of several acres.
  *   Female Bobolinks can walk for tens of yards, both to and from their 
nests, making the location at which a female lands only a loose indicator of 
where her nest actually is.
  *   Localizing a nest is potentially best done by flushing a female from her 
nest (so that she has no time to walk away before taking flight).  Flushing 
birds of their nests is a standard methodology for grassland bird researchers, 
using a rope dragged through the grass between two people walking parallel 
lines.

In summary, just finding a Bobolink nest can take a substantial amount of time 
(hours), and cause major damage to habitat in the general vicinity of a nest 
(and potentially result in destruction of the nest).  Personally, I think that 
the potential costs to attempting to find a nest would on average outweigh any 
benefits.  Having written that, the nests of some individual birds are much 
easier to find than would be typical for a species, although I cannot think of 
any way to predict from birds’ behavior when a nest could be easily found 
(except maybe when the nestlings are so old and loud that they would be 
fledging imminently).

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Bobolinks

For almost 10 days, there has been a male Bobolink in a meadow in front of my 
house.  I would assume there is a nest in the thick of the tall grass as his 
vocalizations usually get a busy response.  I have yet to see or ID a female or 
young.  The grass is tall and quite dense so maybe this will be the secret to 
their successful brood.  Has anyone had experience observing nestlings?  Can 
anyone suggest some good resources about their behavior?

Thanks

RE: [cayugabirds-l] bobolinks and yellowthroat/mowing

2019-05-03 Thread Donna Lee Scott 
Hi Eric,

The Cornell U. Cooperative Extension publication entitled Hayfield Management 
and Grassland Bird Conservation by Jim Ochterski (CCE of Schuler County; 
ja...@cornell.edu<mailto:ja...@cornell.edu>) says this on page 2:

“To be considered good habitat for grassland birds, a grass hayfield needs to 
remain substantially unmown through the breeding season, which begins in early 
May and ends by mid-July across most of New York State. During this time 
hayfields grow vigorously, providing shelter, nesting areas among the grass 
stems, and a source of insects that comprise bird diets. Any significant 
disturbance, like mowing or manure application, will cause most nest to fail. 
Alfalfa hay stands are generally unsuitable for grassland birds.

In New York, breeding grassland birds will begin identifying territories from 
late April through May. Nest building and egg laying occur through early June 
and young birds tend to hatch by mid to late June. The ability to fly for cover 
and feeding(called ‘fledging’ ) develops by early July.”

The article has a calendar which shows the dates May 14 thru July 22 as times 
when MOWING DETRIMENTAL to grassland birds.

Speaking of Bobolinks, my neighbor just asked me if it was ok to mow now before 
they make their nests. I wasn't sure of best timing for early mowing so wanted 
to touch base with the collective experience on this list. What are best 
practices I can share with my neighbors as far as when to NOT mow (beginning 
and end of season) to support field birds.
Thanks

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bobolinks and a Yellow Warbler

2017-05-02 Thread Melanie Uhlir 
I heard the Bobolinks for the first time this year this morning. Don't 
know if I've previously been sleeping through their boingy songs or if 
they've just arrived. I've yet to see or hear a warbler.
