[cayugabirds-l] Bobolinks

This morning at 0700, Susan heard BOBOLINKS in the big field opposite the house.  I walked the field immediately and found 12.  Along Burns Rd, at another large hay field, I could hear many more singing.  Yay! S. Fast Brooktondale -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

[cayugabirds-l] White-eyed Vireo still present at Sherwood Platform + Nashville Warbler

Ken and I had a very brief but very nice visit to Sapsucker Woods' Wilson trail this morning. Among many Ruby-crowned Kinglets at the Sherwood Platform was the White-eyed Vireo-- very close for excellent looks. Just a little further up the trail near the bench was a very bright Nashville Warbler

[cayugabirds-l] Palm Warblers at Stewart Park

Yesterday afternoon, I saw at least 4 PALM WARBLERS at the swan pen at Stewart Park -- 3 were dull Western Palm Warblers and 1 was a very bright Eastern Palm Warbler, making for an excellent comparison of these two taxa that might someday constitute a new split. These were hunkering from the

[cayugabirds-l] Orchard Oriole, Myers Point

At least one ORCHARD ORIOLE has returned to Myers Point. An adult male was singing cheerily from near the entrance, then foraging and singing from cottonwoods over the camping area and then from across the creek on Salt Point. Not much moving on the lake, but at least five HORNED GREBES are still

[cayugabirds-l] cape may warblers at sapsucker woods

Yesterday morning I was treated to a pair of Cape May Warblers (life bird for me) from the observation area near the lab building entrance that has the canopy of branches overhead. They were in the island across from that for just a little while before heading northward. Got a couple of photos

[cayugabirds-l] NOT a Gray-Cheeked Thrush

In discussing with my son, Chris, I must have seen a HERMIT THRUSH, rather than the Gray-Cheek that I reported yesterday. I only had a short profile look. It appeared a drab brown with what I thought was an incomplete eye-ring. What really threw me off is that I could not make out any

[cayugabirds-l] Swallow diversity is great at Aurora bluffs

Hi all, On our way up the lake Saturday to chase the Glossy Ibis, Susan, Ann and I had a swallow sweep by Aurora bluffs on Lake Rd. Northern Rough-winged, Bank, Tree, Barn Swallows and one CLIFF. Today as came though I added Purple Martins and Chimney Swifts. The numbers aren't huge,

[cayugabirds-l] Female RWBB

I don't recall any reports of female REDWINGED BLACK BIRDs this spring. Maybe it is just a memory problem on my part. Or maybe nobody finds them worth reporting. The reason for my interest at this time is that we just had one at our feeders. There have been one or more males around the yard. But

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Female RWBB

I have seen them here and there for at least two weeks if not longer, although there definitely seem to be more around this week than before. Below-species distinctions like that do often get lost, both on the listservs and in eBird, but are, in my opinion and as you suggest, worth keeping track

[cayugabirds-l] Utilities and osprey nest

Near Union Springs there are numerous osprey nest platforms built on utility poles owned by NYSEG. how does one get the utility to put one up on a specific pole.? Why did the utility do it in the first place? Thanks -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Utilities and osprey nest

Bill— I've been told that NYSEG has a small annual budget for environmental stewardship projects, including putting up osprey poles and platforms in this area. As a landowner, you can supposedly contact NYSEG and request that an osprey platform be put on a specific pole that is carrying live
