[cayugabirds-l] RC Kinglet

2010-04-16 Thread John Greenly
I found a RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET dead on the ground outside the glassed stairway 
of Rhodes Hall on campus yesterday evening.  A sad end to migration for this 
one.  Look out for live ones!

[cayugabirds-l] Vultures

2010-04-16 Thread Linda P Van Buskirk

At Little Paine's Creek

Three black vultures
Rest on the bank
Waiting. Waiting.
Suckers are running.

Yesterday there was one
Tomorrow? Perhaps none.

[cayugabirds-l] Spotted Sandpipers - Salt Pt. and Private Marina; Yellow-rumped Warbler - Stewart Park

2010-04-16 Thread Stuart Krasnoff
At ca. 7:30 this morning there were 3 Killdeer around the pool on the north 
side of the spit at Myers.  One was vocalizing persistently from a brooding 
posture on a low mound of beach gravel near the pool.  Later, In the bird's 
absence, I could see what looked like a nest excavation at the site.  Around 
that time I saw a Spotted Sandpiper across the creek at Salt Pt.   Later I saw 
what I presumed was a second one working the beach at the Private Marina.

At ca. 8:20 I saw a bright male Yellow-rumped warbler at the Swan Pen in 
Stewart Park.  Also in the vicinity were 5 Hooded Mergansers, a Fish Crow, and 
a Red-bellied Woodpecker.

[cayugabirds-l] Thrasher at CLO

2010-04-16 Thread Chris Pelkie
Came upon a BROWN THRASHER singing near the feeding station on the north
trail of the Sapsucker Woods pond this AM. He moved up from a mid-level
branch til he was in the topmost of the highest tree. I listened for a few
minutes, then really had to get to work. My first movement sent him flying
off.

The first Pine Siskins showed up at our feeders this noon. A pair, these are the
first we've seen this year. How unlike the recent past.
