[cayugabirds-l] orchard oriole
I thought I saw a male yesterday and confirmed a sighting today. Sheffield Road, Ithaca. Also just watched several swallows chasing and bombing a red-winged blackbird male. He perched in a tree and they swooped around him a few times and then left.

[cayugabirds-l] Orchard Oriole nest, Cass Park, Ithaca
In Cass Park there’s an Orchard Oriole nest being visited by both a female and an ASY (brown & black) male this evening. I assume this means there are nestlings in it. The nest is about 2 feet from the highest point of a young Sycamore tree growing along the bank of Cayuga Inlet at the SE corner of a grassy area containing a few remnant ancient Willows, and it’s just north of a small but heavily vegetated stream which passes through a culvert under the bike path. That’s south of the Coach’s Crossing bridge and the 4-sided birding kiosk. My guess of its coordinates on Google Maps is: 42.45084, -76.51153. Anyway, if anyone wants to see Orchard Orioles in Ithaca here’s an opportunity. I watched with binoculars from the paved path, and had several brief views as individual parents came & went different directions to & from it. I don’t know if staring from closer would disturb them, but I urge people to be aware and considerate of them while viewing. - - Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Orchard Oriole at Children's Garden
I saw and heard this young male Orchard Oriole at the Children's Garden on the 27th, although it may have been around longer. It sang from the edge of the woods above the bike path below Incodema and moved north through the Children's Garden singing from tree to tree and continuing north toward Union Fields. Yesterday I heard one from my yard very close but did not see it. Perhaps it was the same bird. Today I heard and saw it again in the southern part of the Children's Garden and the trees to the west by the bike path. Dang, it can be hard to see a green bird in a leafed out tree, even from ten feet away when it is singing loudly. But there's more: As I went north late this morning to Treman Marina I also heard an Orchard Oriole singing in the row of Sycamore/Plane Trees along the south side of the boat ramp parking lot. I looked and saw a young male - generally green, gray wings, whitish wingbars, and a black mask & bib. But, unlike the Children's Garden bird, this bird had a few brown spots down the middle of the breast which were the color of an older male. Then in the isolated woodlot north of the marina close to the mouth of Cayuga Inlet I heard an Orchard Oriole again, but this time I was not able to see it. After I had given up and left, and I was on the south side of the marina, I heard it again to the north. I wondered if it might have been the bird from near the boat ramp, so I went back to that row of Sycamore/Plane Trees by the boat ramp parking lot, and again I heard Orchard Oriole song. I saw movement at the source, looked up, and saw an older male, all black and brown! I even heard him sing. This third male Orchard Oriole then flew across the Inlet toward the SW corner of Jetty Woods. I did not hear any other Orchard Oriole there at that time. So, today there are at least 3, maybe 4, male Orchard Orioles in the area of Cass Park, Treman State Marine Park, and Jetty Woods. BTW, eBird reports 2 Orchard Orioles somewhere at Treman Marine SP on the 13th & 17th, 1 singing on the 28th, and 1 singing at Jetty Woods today, all of unspecified plumage, plus an adult male singing at Stewart Park's Swan Pond on the 20th. This is a lot for Ithaca, it seems to me. --Dave Nutter On May 31, 2016, at 05:00 PM, Sandy Podulkawrote: This morning, a first spring male Orchard Oriole was singing vigorously from various trees in the Ithaca Children's Garden and nearby (the south end of Cass Park). It sounds a lot like a House Finch to me, but not so sing-songy and doesn't end on an upswing!

[cayugabirds-l] Orchard Oriole behavior
I was watching an adult male Orchard Oriole singing along the circle at Myers Point Park this morning, and I noticed something I hadn't before. When the male sang, his black throat turned WHITE. When he sang some parts of his song the throat feathers were spread, revealing their white bases. It was striking, especially from directly below. I put photos at https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/VUkCUjpT02rr2ASCZa9fpdMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink, including a pair from almost straight on that show the white flash pretty well.

[cayugabirds-l] Orchard Oriole nest
After checking a few sources (Thanks, Jay and others!) and an intense hour of waiting and watching, I am excited to confirm a nesting ORCHARD ORIOLE in my front yard. Noticing the female working and weaving a nest in a fork at the top of a small maple tree, the ID was confirmed when I saw both the female and the male together. She's slightly bigger than the male, and greener than a female baltimore. He's very dark ruby and black and not easy to spot. Getting clear views was challenging but my patience paid off-- Just like the Baltimore orioles, they are very good at hiding in plain sight, seeming to know exactly which leaves will keep them hidden from view. ~-- Michele Interlaken / Ovid The Hayward House Bed Breakfast www.thehaywardhouse.com -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

This AM I was on the E. Ithaca Rec. Trail (the one that goes to Game Farm Rd.). I heard a single clear loud call note, all one pitch, and repeated several times over a period of several minutes. The quality of the sound was much like that of a Balt. Oriole, but when I finally spotted the bird, it didn't look like that, but maybe an Orchard Oriole. Has anyone seen one there recently?

[cayugabirds-l] Orchard Oriole - Sapsucker Woods
Susan Newman and I just spent a few minutes watching the young male Orchard Oriole with Mark Chao at Sapsucker Woods. The bird was singing constantly, spending most of his time in the trees in the gravel parking area at Kip's Barn (on the east side of the building). Several times, he flew north across Sapsucker Woods Road to the flowering Black Locusts on the hill just across the road from the barn.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Orchard Oriole - Sapsucker Woods
I saw an Orchard Oriole today as well, my very first! We have a hummingbird feeder up by a huge window in the living room. I had the screen down so I could clean it and as I was walking back to put the screen back in I saw a small-medium sized bird sitting on the hummingbird feeder. Something scared it(probably me) and it flew right in the house. Both the cat and dog instantly started chasing the poor guy, so he flew into windows multiple times before I could get the animals out of the room. I opened all the windows, let him sit for a few minutes, then gently shooed him out. He flew off just fine, so I hope he wasn't to hurt, but I got a great close up view of him. LOL! as I am writing this, a female cardinal flew into the room too. There is the last suet cake right by the hummingbird feeder too. The female cardinal usually hits it a few times a day, today she flew right in, did a big loop into the dining room, and flew out another window. Guess I better put the screens back up!

The bird was singing constantly, spending most of his time in the trees in the gravel parking area at Kip's Barn (on the east side of the building).

[cayugabirds-l] Orchard Oriole M and F at 1230
Thanks for the heads-up on the Orchard Oriole. He was still singing a lot from perches in a big circle around Kipps driveway, including landing in the tree right over my head for a couple phrases. I spotted a female at first, then realized it wasn't the singer, so there are at least 2 there as of 1230pm. Excellent looks and nice song! __ Chris Pelkie Research Analyst Bioacoustics Research Program Cornell Lab of Ornithology 159 Sapsucker Woods Road Ithaca, NY 14850 -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Orchard Oriole, shorebirds - Montezuma area
While my compatriots watched the Germany vs. Argentina match in Seneca Falls, I checked a few other spots around the area. The best bird was a singing 1st year male ORCHARD ORIOLE right at the end of Van Dyne Spoor Road in Wayne County. Although they are almost always present and occasionally common along the east shore of Cayuga Lake (and perhaps parts of the west side too), this may be the first time I have seen this species in the Montezuma Wetlands Complex. Other birds in the morning included the family of Sandhill Cranes at East Venice Road and Rt. 90 in Genoa (2 adults and 2 well-grown chicks.) The Knox-Marsellus Marsh as viewed from both East Road and Towpath Road had a decent variety of shorebirds, including 10+ Lesser Yellowlegs, 2+ Greater Yellowlegs, 6+ Least Sandpipers, several Killdeer, and at least one Solitary Sandpiper. Three Sandhill Cranes were also out in marsh. Duck were also in (comparatively) good numbers here, with Green-winged Teal, Blue-winged Teal, Gadwall, American Wigeon, Northern Shoveler, and Wood Duck present.

The clear highlight was an adult Tundra Swan loafing close to the tower at Tschache Pool, Montezuma NWR. We photographed the bird, which showed a typical scooped Tundra Swan bill/ face shape, yellow loral spots, and a u-shaped forehead border to the facial skin; also interesting at Tschache were the two adult Trumpeter Swans trailing 7 chicks behind them at Tschache (and another pair with 5 chicks at East Rd.). We also stopped by the Empire Farm Days fields in Seneca Falls to see the Upland Sandpipers, and were very pleased at a whole mess of juveniles. We saw 13 Uppies, and only 1 that I looked at closely appeared to be an adult (!); most were fresh and cinnamon-tinged, with bits of down wisping around the head. It looks like they hatched out in plenty of time to avoid the recent mowing of the hayfields.
