[cayugabirds-l] FOS catbird

I put out my jelly and oranges two days ago because the Oriole should be showing up soon. BTW, I put up the Hummingbird feeder as well. Got my FOS Gray Catbird at the jelly feeder this morning. Also a Robin and many House Finches have been partaking of the jelly, too. No Oriole or

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler at Hammond Hill

This is interesting. First of all, where is your usual spot? I spent several hours atop both Star Stanton and Hammond Hills yesterday. My usual spot for mourning warblers is on Star Stanton Hill--go up Star Stanton Hill Rd. (labeled), up the rough, abandoned part to the crest. Over the crest

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler at Hammond Hill

It is on the yellow marker trail that starts on Hammond Hill Rd.? next to visitor parking lot. About 500m up the trail. We got great views, only one individual. Alberto On May 4, 2013, at 10:34 AM, Susan Fast sustf...@yahoo.com wrote: This is interesting. First of all, where is your usual

Excellent. That would be Trail Y-1 in the area of a blowdown a number of years ago. Canada warblers and winter wrens should be there also. Steve -Original Message- From: Alberto Lopez [mailto:al.lopeztor...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, May 04, 2013 11:55 AM To: Susan Fast Cc:

[cayugabirds-l] SFO Morning Trip

Eight people joined me for a GREAT morning of birding. The sky was blue and it was not too warm. We stopped two places. First, we stopped on Dodge Road (off Stevenson Road) where there is a nice stand of spruces. The only warbler we saw was a YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER. Then we heard and saw a BROWN

[cayugabirds-l] Addendum to SFO Trip

On the way back to the car, we did spot a chickadee with nesting material going into a hole in a loped off tree on the orange trail. Everyone liked seeing that. Ann -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES

[cayugabirds-l] Saturday SFO local trip

10 people joined me for a sparkling clear morning of birding. Even though I know people love to discover new places there was a consensus that spending some time at Sapsucker Woods Sanctuary in Ithaca, NY would be productive. Nothing especially unusual but all enjoyable Good views of singing

[cayugabirds-l] Wilson's Phalarope Sandhill Cranes.

This morning I was with Linda Steve Benedict when they found a beautiful Wilson's Phalarope on Carncross Road. The bird was a male in breeding plumage. It was fairly easy to see but not easy to photograph as it swam though the short corn stalks there. The phalarope was sticking pretty close to

HI all, Around 4pm Saturday, I noticed a lone Snow Goose hanging out in the southernmost section of the large wetland on Thomas Road, Ithaca (this road links Ellis Hollow Road and Rt 79). The bird was standing, preening, on a tussock of vegetation in the water when I drove past, did a

[cayugabirds-l] Goetchius Solitary Sandpipers

At Geotchius this afternoon were at least six not-so-SOLITARY SANDPIPERS, and no spotteds that I could find. Also, it seems the song sparrows there have a bit of a RWBB* accent, incorporating some konkeree in their songs. Did not reliably hear any meadowlarks (still haven't at all this year -
