[cayugabirds-l] CBC Field Trip Sunday

2013-09-29 Thread bob mcguire 

One more in a string of beautiful early fall days - it was a wonderful morning 
out be out looking for birds. Thirteen folks joined me today, including several 
students whose sharp eyes and ears greatly enhanced our experience. 

We began with a brief stroll around the parking lots at the Lab while waiting 
for the sun to warm us a bit and for the bird activity to pick up. There were a 
couple of Rusty Blackbirds, at least four Tennessee Warblers, several 
Blue-headed Vireos and a Mourning Warbler in the vicinity of the Fuller 
Wetlands. 

Shucking one layer of clothing, we headed over to the south Park Preserve to 
walk the loop. Kinglets, both Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned, seemed to be 
everywhere. In addition, we ran into two feeding flocks that gave us good looks 
at Black-throated Green, Pine and Magnolia Warblers as well as more Blue-headed 
Vireos. By far the highlight of the trip was a crisp adult LINCOLN'S SPARROW 
(originally heard calling - what I thought was a Common Yellowthroat). It moved 
around a bit, but most of us did finally get a good look as it perched in the 
open on the tip of a pine bough.

We ended the morning at the community gardens, Freese Road, with fairly good 
comparisons of Song and Savannah Sparrows. A single Field Sparrow was seen by 
several, as was a female Indigo Bunting. The best bird(s) for Freese Road was a 
pair of late-migrating Bobolinks seen way at the south end of the weedy field.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] OT: disposing of monofilament fishing line

2013-09-29 Thread Linda Orkin 
Thanks Dave and Norm, yes. The conservation committee will be organizing a 
Cayuga bird club work party very soon to put together at least 3 disposal bins. 
Candace noticed stranded monofilament line at Myers the other day in the same 
tree that the kingfisher died in last spring. She is getting in touch with the 
town to remove it. But Myers will be our first installation site.

On the Natural History listserv Norm Trigoboff sent this link to directions to make a container in which to collect and recycle monofilament fishing line. I thought birders, particularly the club's Conservation Action Committee, might find it interesting. http://www.boatus.com/foundation/monofilament/ --Dave Nutter

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma warblers

2013-09-29 Thread M Miller 
Did fairly short walks on the Esker Brook/South Spring trails at Montezuma each 
of the last 3 days. Besides for dozens of yellow-rumped warblers and numerous 
GC Kinglets, I’ve found Blackpoll, Magnolia, Tennessee, & Hooded Warblers. Also 
had a N. Mockingbird and YB Sapsucker.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Knox-Marcellus Hudsonian Godwits,Snow Geese:(,Dunlin

2013-09-29 Thread Matthew Medler 
Jay McGowan and I were also at Knox-Marcellus Marsh yesterday (28 Sept 2013), a 
bit earlier in the morning than the group from Rochester. Jay could comment on 
exact details much better than I, but I did want to say that the two American 
White Pelicans were present during our visit. 


Good birding,

   I was going to
write up the whole field trip but thought I should post that the RBA field trip
yesterday had 2 Hudsonian Godwits at Knox Marcellus Marsh plus 4 Dunlin and the
first 5 Snow Geese(1 Blue-morph). Here is the ebird list for that location.
