Re: [cayugabirds-l] CayugaRBA GRAY KINGBIRD Van Dyne
Bob McGuire had called to have me post the Gray Kingbird report. He was at the MAC center when the call came in from Dominic, and he was driving the short distance there. However I talked to Bob later and he missed the bird, which a group of birders said was last seen flying east toward Van Dyne Spoor Rd from Seneca St. --Dave Nutter On Oct 23, 2010, at 09:13 AM, 6072292...@vtext.com wrote: CayugaRBA GRAY KINGBIRD Van Dyne Spoor Rd & Seneca St by Dominic Sherony --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
re: [cayugabirds-l] CayugaRBA GRAY KINGBIRD Van Dyne
Astounding! That's about 3 miles from the location where a Gray Kingbird was found around this time of year in 1987 (23 years ago), and under similar circumstances. I recall former basin birder Dick Evans telling me that someone had reported one and none from local birding community followed up on it thinking it was likely a mistaken ID, as is frequently the case with this species. Then finally three weeks later it was found for many to see. What a treat for folks attending the NYSOA meeting in nearby Auburn, NY. I wonder if the meeting's paper session started on time this afternoon? ;) Bill E From: 6072292...@vtext.com Sent: Saturday, October 23, 2010 12:14 PM To: cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu Subject: [cayugabirds-l] CayugaRBA GRAY KINGBIRD Van Dyne CayugaRBA GRAY KINGBIRD Van Dyne Spoor Rd & Seneca St by Dominic Sherony --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Loons
This morning, Susie had a craving for Triangle Diner chili, while I had a hankering for to see some COMMON LOONS. So we went N. around mid-day and found what we sought. I counted the listed number of loons on the lake at the following locations; most counts fairly accurate-no estimates. 360 Long Point SP-feeding frenzy 100 N. of LPSP 150 Aurora Bluffs south 90Wells Coll. boathouse, looking N. 106 Aurora Bluffs north Total = 806 Notes: The feeding frenzy was just off the point at LPSP and also involved mostly RING-BILLED GULLS (150) and D. C. CORMORANTS (40). I could not determine what they all were after. During the height of the frenzy, I counted 110 loons on a scan. After it was over, and most of the loons were resting on the surface, I scanned the small area and counted 360. I've never seen that many loons in such a small area. These numbers might be useful in estimating total loons in an area where they are actively feeding-twice as many loons being below the surface as on it. S. & S.

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Today
Montezuma was hopping today. The annual NYSOA meeting was held at the MAC in Savannah, with a number of top birders leading field trips in the area all morning. Those of us in the business meeting got a call just before noon that a GRAY KINGBIRD had been seen just east of Savannah. Apparently the bird was seen by a number of participants on one of the trips - and then flew off to the east and could not be re- found. On the way home after lunch I stopped by Knox-Marcellus marsh where Kevin McGowan pointed out two GREAT WHITE-FRONTED GEESE. Shortly thereafter a line of eight (!) more were spotted swimming along. There had also been a report of a ROSS'S GOOSE, which Stu Krasnoff eventually found and put us on. Then, following up on the report of a HUDSONIAN GODWIT at the Visitor's Center, Stu and I drove there. Although the Hudwit was not present, we did find 4 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS and 2 WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPERS along with a flock of some 20 DUNLIN. Finally, at the new shorebird habitat along the wildlife drive, we did find the Hudwit as well as some 20 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS, 12 DUNLIN, and another WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER. Also there was a flock of some 4-5 AMERICAN PIPITS. Also reported by one of the field trips was a YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER at Fair Haven State Park.

[cayugabirds-l] RFI GRAY KINGBIRD
I just wanted to mention that early reports on Sunday of success involving the relocation of the Gray Kingbird would be greatly appreciated. It's a long drive for us. :)) regards, jeff Downingtown, PA Checkout our bird photos at the link below: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffamy/ "Birding Like I Have Six Months To Live" -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Saturday 10-23: Hudsonian Godwit, Greater White-Fronted Goose
Took my youngest son to Montezuma this afternoon after hearing about the GRAY KINGBIRD. We struck out on the kingbird but, as Bob stated, there was a lot around Montezuma. We found one GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE among the many many CANADA's and a fair number of SNOWs at Knox-Marcellis. Another birder pointed out a possible ROSS's GOOSE as this bird was much smaller than the nearby SNOWs. However, the bird was sleeping and we could not get a positive id. Maybe it was the bird mentioned in Bob's post? Later, we stopped at the bend in wildlife drive after hearing about the HUDSONIAN GODWIT from two kind birders. This bird was very easily found as it was actively foraging fairly close to the road. I tried to get a decent digiscope image, but the bird would not sit still! I was able to get two fair to poor images when the bird was a little more distant. My closer images were completely blurry. http://www.flickr.com/photos/davenicosia/5108608265 We saw the same shorebirds as mentioned in Bob's post at this location. I also had 2 PECTORAL SANDPIPERS. I was surprised to see so many shorebirds. Isn't October 23rd getting kind of late?
