[cayugabirds-l] Bobolink @Kendal

[Donna Lee Scott]

For 3 days we have seen a male Bobolink on SE side of Mt. Kendal !
So far no female seen.
Male does typical flight, lands on top of thistle & quietly sings his lovely 
song.
Also today I spotted a FOY Green Heron flying around overhead.

[cayugabirds-l] Bobolink-friendly hay cutting date

[Bill Evans]

A take away from Tom Gavin’s fascinating presentation in Danby this past 
Tuesday is that if one can hold off on local hay cutting until after July 4, 
most Bobolinks will have fledged by then. Mid-July even better.

While March was -4 F degrees off average and April –6.5, May was nearly 5 
degrees above average (NE Regional Climate Center data). This likely has led to 
taller grass height than average in central NY this spring, and farmers cutting 
earlier than average (some fields in Danby have already been cut). Since 
Bobolink nesting is relatively synchronous from year to year, anticipate 
greater regional haying mortality for juvenile Bobolinks in 2018.

[cayugabirds-l] bobolink: a new yard bird

[Marty Schlabach]

While working in the garden, I identify many different common birds by song, 
without looking up.  We have bluebirds, tree swallows, barn swallows, mourning 
doves, red wing blackbirds, house wrens, mockingbirds, robins and many others.  
Today I heard a song I didn't quite recognize at first, and then suddenly 
thought, 'that sounds like a bobolink'.  The next thought was that it is 
probably the mockingbird.  Then I mentioned it to Mary Jean and she said, 'well 
there is a dark bird on the pasture fence what has some white patches on it'. 
We have about 2 acres fenced for pasture and sure enough, there were two 
bobolinks on the fence.  They flew down into the grass and back up to the fence 
several times and then headed off.  Not sure if they'll be staying around, but 
it was great to have seen them during their visit, if they were just passing 
through.  The nearest field with breeding bobolinks that I'm aware of is about 
2 miles away.

[cayugabirds-l] Bobolink

[Jody W Enck]

Hello Everyone,

Heard/saw my first-of-year Bobolink (just one) singing/displaying just to the 
west of the pond near the Bee Lab off of Freese Road this evening about 7:30pm.

Nice to hear its jingle again.

[cayugabirds-l] Bobolink on West Hill

[Caro]

May the 4th be with you, cause the BOBOLINKS have arrived up here. (I always 
thought they sounded like R2D2 or some sort of alien transmitter radio)

[cayugabirds-l] Bobolink flyover

[Kevin J. McGowan]

While I was doing a brief nest watch of a crow nest located along the runway 
approach east of the outer Lab parking lot, I heard a BOBOLINK singing as it 
flew over.  The weather makes it seem like the bird is early, but it really 
isn't.

My wife, poor thing, is confused.  Substitute BOBOLINK for B. oriole.  I did
hear a B. ORIOLE in the yard yesterday, however, which got her very excited.

[John and Fritzie Blizzard]

That's right .. blame Susie . that S  S Fast signature can 
leave one guessing as to who actually wrote the e-mail! 

That's okay .. we all goof up  for sure I do!!

Take time to enjoy the trillium as well as the birds in Shindagin. In fact, 
enjoy SPRING while it's a bit cool. Black flies are already out  hungry!!
