RE: [cayugabirds-l] Louisiana Waterthrush

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Fri 4/23

I heard one NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH on Friday morning east of the Woodleton Boardwalk in Sapsucker Woods. This waterthrush sounded like a typical Northern Waterthrush -- not one with the Woodleton accent (dip in pitch in the middle, then emphatic at the end -- very distinctive in 2001-2003, less

[cayugabirds-l] RC Kinglet

Today a Ruby Crowned Kinglet was singing from the spruces in my yard. I could hear him from inside the kitchen even through my closed doors and windows. His song seems that he is angry with someone and he is scolding them. Especially, with visuals his red crest fluffed up and the tan spot

[cayugabirds-l] Dryden Lake Trail 4/23/10

[cayugabirds-l] Three trumpeters

Thursday while on horseback near ponds off West Genesee Street Road/ Short Road, Aurelius, we disturbed three trumpeter swans that had been on the pond bank. They circled and headed back towards the refuge. Thanks to the Lab of O, I identified them this morning by their calls. I remember

Re: [cayugabirds-l] White throated sparrow campus

White-throated sparrows arrive every spring at this time around my house in Scipio. They scratch the leaf-litter, explore the ground beneath the feeders, and they practice singing in the bushes for several days--haltingly, thinly at first, then increasingly full- throated--then they just

[cayugabirds-l] catbird

I was at my friend's house on Skaneateles Lake and heard my first catbird of the year. Now I'm waiting for mine to appear. She also had a pair of red-breasted nuthatches. At home I heard a rufous sided towhee singing Drink your te. I've had white throated sparrows for several days
