[cayugabirds-l] kittiwake at Myers Pt at 06:30 this morning

Hello everyone, The kittiwake was loafing with other gulls at the tip of Myer's Pt this morning at about 6:30, although by 7 AM I'd list it after it and most of the gulls flew up when a group of Canada Geese took flight. I was looking elsewhere at the time, so I didn't see where the

The egret is not present now. We are looking around the area but it seems likely it has moved on. Not sure if north or south. On May 18, 2014 10:12 AM, Jay McGowan jw...@cornell.edu wrote: Jeff reports a snowy egret on the spit at Myers -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

[cayugabirds-l] Hammond Hill mid-morning

We arrived at the parking lot at Hammond Hill at 9:00, not expecting to find much singing at that late hour in light rain, but we were pleasantly surprised. We hiked about .5 mi. on the Yellow 1 Trail (a moderately steep, somewhat muddy trail that starts directly across the road from the

[cayugabirds-l] Winged Warbler songs

Hi All, We are fortunate to have John Confer, one of the world's foremost experts on Blue-winged Warbler and Golden-winged Warbler, in our midst, so I'm hoping that he can provide a more insightful commentary on this topic than I can. But, I did want to point out that both the Blue-winged

Hi all 5 people joined me this wet, cool morning for a Cayuga Bird Club walk at the Park Preserve (South) from 8 am until 11. We had some amazing bird encounters, even though it was overall quiet, especially between 8 and 9:30 when it was raining on and off. As soon as we entered the property

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard

Susan Danskin and I had a similar experience in the Hawthorns this morning. When we walked in along the north trail, everything was quiet (except for the ever-present Catbirds). All of a sudden we began to hear TENNESSEE WARBLERS from some 100' south of the trail. When we got to them, we found

My dad, Bob Anderson (Hi, Dad!), and I birded the Hawthorns from 9 - 12. After leaving the Oxley parking lot, and heading towards towards the NW corner, we got a YELLOW WARBLER. Then, we heard some birds and went down off the bank into the woods. After finding the singing TENNESSEE, dad found a

Kevin refound the SNOWY EGRET a little while ago on Salmon Creek upstream from the bridge from Myers to Salt points. It was visible from the bridge for a little while, then moved up out of sight, then was back in view from the bridge, so it is still around and working the edges of the creek. I'm

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard, May 18, 2014

I had pretty much the same experience and impression as others this morning. Most birds were in an extremely tight flock in the Northwest corner. As soon as you found them, you had maybe 5 minutes before they were gone. With some work, you could relocate the flock. This flock held two
