[nysbirds-l] Sunday's migrants
Highlights of the 5+ hours I spent birding in my yard on Sunday morning were - 1 Hermit Thrush2 Lincoln's Sparrows2 flyover Pine Siskins and the single GOLDEN EAGLE that passed in a line of Red-tailed Hawks and Turkey Vultures pretty close to the noon hour. I tried to get a photo of the bird, but I succumbed to the bane of all photographers - the dead battery in the camera. The full list of birds with some notes is pasted below - - Constantia Yard, Oswego, New York, US Oct 14, 2018 7:15 AM - 12:45 PM Protocol: Stationary 45 species (+2 other taxa) Canada Goose 4 Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon) 21 Mourning Dove 6 Ring-billed Gull 3 Double-crested Cormorant 4 Turkey Vulture 75 Golden Eagle 1 Probable adult bird. Moving straight west to east in a line of Red-tails and Turkey Vultures. Large eagle with small head and longish tail. Mostly dark underneath. Sharp-shinned Hawk 2 Cooper's Hawk 1 Bald Eagle 2 1 adult, 1 immature. Both probably local birds. Red-shouldered Hawk 3 Red-tailed Hawk 40 hawk sp. 4 Belted Kingfisher 1 Red-bellied Woodpecker 1 Downy Woodpecker 2 Hairy Woodpecker 1 Pileated Woodpecker 1 Northern Flicker 7 migrating American Kestrel 1 Eastern Phoebe 1 Blue Jay 48 Still small numbers moving through. Much quieter now than a few weeks ago. American Crow 6 Black-capped Chickadee 59 Tufted Titmouse 4 Red-breasted Nuthatch 4 White-breasted Nuthatch 9 Golden-crowned Kinglet 2 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 2 Eastern Bluebird 6 Hermit Thrush 1 American Robin 79 migrating - We are still a few weeks away from peak migration for Robins here. Gray Catbird 1 European Starling 11 House Finch 2 Purple Finch 2 Pine Siskin 2 individual flyovers separated by a few hours. American Goldfinch 9 Dark-eyed Junco 7 White-throated Sparrow 3 Song Sparrow 4 Lincoln's Sparrow 2 Eastern Towhee 1 Red-winged Blackbird 21 Yellow-rumped Warbler 33 Northern Cardinal 2 passerine sp. 131 Many birds moving in the morning. This is the number of small birds that flew over that I was unable to get a positive ID on. Mostly warblers i'm guessing.
