[cayugabirds-l] Migrants

I’ve had a few new migrants. Today there was a White Crown Sparrow. Interesting since I usually get White Throats first. I had a Dark Eyed Junco a couple of days ago. I do not have them all year like some around here do. My favorite was the Red Breasted Nuthatch who stayed several days

I had a lovely little flurry of migrants this morning. I had two Whited Throated Sparrows, two female Purple Finches, and the a Red Breasted Nuthatch. I hope they stick around. My Cooper’s Hawk has been around a lot so even my regulars haven’t been showing themselves, so this was a real

Hi all, Lots of migrants in our yard on Hunt Hill Road today, and yesterday. This afternoon we had 2 bay-breasted warblers, a blackburnian, black-throated green, redstart and common yellowthroat warbler. Just now, 6:15ish, a Swainson's thrush popped up to eat the berries of the red-osier

Hi all, This evening between 5:30 and 7 pm there was a large migrant flock moving around our yard on Hunt Hill Rd, east of Ithaca. They went back and forth and generally stayed in the vicinity, which I found unusual and wonderful. As always, they were moving fast from spot to spot, hiding

Last Friday I had a Red Breasted Nuthatch for one day. It was unbelievably tame and came within a foot of me. It’s only the second time I’ve had one here. I haven’t seen it again, unfortunately. I have four White Crowned Sparrows. One is an adult and the other three are first year Birds.

I’ve had two White Throated Sparrows the last three days. I’ve also had a few Yellow Rump warblers coming for the bayberries. I had so many last year they stripped the bushes clean. Not this year. My only other warblers were a juvenile Yellow Throat which do nest in my yard, and a female

I went out at 5:45 for the pre-dawn chorus. The temperature was 32 degrees F. From my place on Tupper Road I walked a few hundred yards over to Beech Hill Brook in the Lindsay-Parsons Preserve, hoping for some Hermit Thrushes. On my way I passed several Eastern Towhees that were exchanging

All, The word fallout has been thrown around liberally on this list this spring, but this morning was the closest to a landbird fallout we have had so far this year. Our northeast Ithaca yard boasted 14 species of warblers, including NORTHERN PARULA, NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, MAGNOLIA, BLUE-WINGED,

While standing at our bay window looking at the birds, I noticed movement out of the corner of my eye. As I slowly turned my head to look, I was wonderfully surprised to see a resplendent PINE SISKIN feeding at our window feeder. Our FOY --- for a couple of years! We also had our FOY PURPLE

New in my 'yard' this morning were more singing Fox Sparrows, a lone Chipping Sparrow, several Golden-crowned Kinglets, and one or two singing Purple Finches. Turkeys are gobbling, Ruffed Grouse are drumming, and I'll be on the watch for returning Hermit Thrushes. -Geo Kloppel, West Danby --

[cayugabirds-l] Migrants at Monkey Run

After seeing the big push of migrants last night that lit up the Binghamton radar, Jessie and I took a walk around Monkey Run. Nothing particularly unusual, but several new local arrivals including Spotted Sandpiper, Bank Swallow and Pine Warbler. Also good numbers of both kinglets, a singing

Today, I could not resist the temptation to be lazy, watch for migrating raptors, test out my new camera, and visit with my parents. I stopped by their place at Vine Street in the City of Ithaca on East Hill and started watching skyward for migrating birds, sometime around 10:45am. I continued

Radar images early this morning suggested  fallout conditions in the southern tier of NY. There were fairly heavy radar bird echoes across  PA with much less returns in NY...especially north of Binghamton. A cold front dropped south last night and migrants eventually encountered northerly winds

Lots of warblers seen today. I toured around to lots of spots around the Ithaca area throughout the morning. I started at the Dodge Rd spruces, where there was BLUE-WINGED WARBLER, CAPE MAY WARBLER, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, YELLOW WARBLER, WILSON'S WARBLER, and in the

Hi all, Today morning from 5 to 5.40 am I listened to migrant birds and recorded some of the calls. Based on the calls and the spectrogram, there were several groups of VEERIES that flew overhead. There were also some ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS and at least one WOOD THRUSH. I also heard

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Migrants in the morning

But I was musing about how birding and optics have changed. But now I am thinking maybe I should go back bare basics. Just use good old eyes and go closer to see birds! Or look for those birds that are visible! Do we really need to spend so much of money to see birds that far away?
