Re: [cayugabirds-l] Red-necked Phalarope and other birds there
Unfortunately, I did not learn about this Red-necked Phalarope until until last night. I stopped by this morning, 5/24, but alas it was NOT there. I talked to a couple of residents and they had not seen it either today. I did see 2 SPOTTED SANDPIPERS and 3 KILLDEER.

Re: RE: [cayugabirds-l] Red-necked Phalarope and other birds there shaky video
The blog Jeff refers to makes a statement:This guy is way out of his range which is normally the arctic and northern coastal regions.which I'd like to modify a bit. Yes, they breed in northern Canada and Alaska (and the Old World arctic as well), and they winter on the open ocean among floating weeds, largely in the tropics from what I've read. They typically are found during migration along the coasts of North America, but we regularly find a few each year at Montezuma NWR, which can be an excellent place for shorebirds, and sometimes around the south end of Cayuga Lake, especially if there are mats of floating weeds. However sightings in our area are overwhelmingly during the southbound migration. What's rare was seeing this species here in spring, thus in the breeding plumage, but this bird is right on time for spring migration.Why do we see them in the fall, not the spring? In the fall there are more birds, including all the young. They are taking their time rather than rushing to their breeding grounds, so we have more time to find them. Their plumage is more noticeable with lots of white. And maybe they are more in the mode of feeding on ponds during late summer and fall, since that's what they did on the breeding grounds. Perhaps they follow the coasts more in spring and more commonly just fly south over land in the fall, particularly young birds for whom "fly south till you get to the ocean" is a simple fall strategy. But I suspect a few Red-necked Phalaropes may fly through here in spring, but that it's also more unusual for them to touch down and be noticed. I think the low clouds and mist yesterday made this one decide to take a short break from flying north, and otherwise it might've stayed aloft until it reached Lake Ontario or beyond.A couple weeks ago one was also found on a pond east of Rochester, but I don't know about the weather then. For that matter, looking at the cumulative eBird map for the region, several of the isolated inland single-day sightings (Chautauqua, central PA...), as opposed to those along the Great Lakes, have been in spring. And I wonder what the weather was...As usual I'm interested in the others' thoughts and experience regarding these speculations.--Dave NutterOn May 24, 2012, at 07:40 PM, Jeff Poulin jeffrey.s.pou...@gmail.com wrote:There is a great shot here:Bird Species / Phalarope - Red-neckedRed-necked Phalarope - Rare Findhttp://www.jerryacton.com/phalarope-red-necked/index.php-jeff - Mobile: +1(607)725-4493From: bounce-59449038-14247...@list.cornell.edu [mailto:bounce-59449038-14247...@list.cornell.edu] On Behalf Of Meena HaribalSent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 10:36 AMTo: CAYUGABIRDS-LSubject: RE: [cayugabirds-l] Red-necked Phalarope and other birds there shaky videoHi all, Here is a link to shaky unedited video of RNPH.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Red-necked Phalarope and other birds there
Was still there even after moon rise, woodcock dances and coyotes howls, i.e. is till around 8.30 PM. I got to watch him from less than 10 feet preening, sneezing and snapping insects from the water. Its companion, the Least Sandpiper made even closer visit. I could have snapped with my hand if I wanted to. I guess they depend on their size and camouflage. I got some nice videos against pink grey water. I will post it sometimes later. The Phalarope was not very bigger than the Least Sandpiper. I felt I was watching him in Churchill! While I was there, there were many other species birds, mammals, and frogs. Thanks to Steve Fast who found it and others who posted about its presence. It is rarely that one gets such close views! And thanks to the owners of the cute little colorful housing that made this pond possible. Does anyone one know what are they? A co-op?
