The sound end of the lake was cold this morning but with a few interesting
birds.  Three male NORTHERN SHOVELERS were swimming in one of the lagoon
across Fall Creek from the boat house.  Three COMMON TERNS were flying up
the west side of the lake, viewed from East Shore Park.  Quite a few PALM
WARBLERS are still around the swan pen, singing and giving chip notes.  A
few diving ducks are still around, including Lesser Scaup, Redhead, and
Bufflehead, and six small dark ducks (presumably Green-winged Teal) came
bombing in over Stewart Park from offshore.  Five or more COMMON LOONS were
out on the lake, including one in full basic plumage.  I saw Barn, Tree,
Bank, and Northern Rough-winged Swallows, but I would not be surprised if
all six species were present.  Finally, I scanned the Treman shore and the
jetties but saw no sign of last night's Willet.

2011-05-04 Thread Chris Tessaglia-Hymes
Also of note, there were several Bonaparte's Gulls at Cass Park this
morning. Binocular-less, I counted at least 9 Bonaparte's among Ring-billed
Gulls, all walking around one of the soccer fields adjacent to the Cayuga
Inlet. Later, they dispersed from that location and ended up near where the
Willet was seen yesterday, at the mouth of the Treman Marina.

 

Good birding!

[cayugabirds-l] Photos of some recent sightings - Great Horned Owls, Common Tern, Northern Waterthrush

2011-05-04 Thread Melissa Groo

Last Sunday Harold Mills and I went into the Fuertes Sanctuary in Stewart Park 
in search of owls. We found ourselves in even deeper water than we had 
anticipated--it quickly overcame our tall boots but we soggily waded on. 
Finally found two GREAT HORNED OWL fledglings sitting snuggled together on an 
upper branch of the cavity tree. One was quite a bit smaller than the other. 
Photo can be seen at the below link. I have also put a photo I took about 4 
days prior to that of a parent and young one, and a photo I took of an adult in 
the woods in mid April. The dates are below the photos. 
Have also posted a pic of what Harold and I guess is a NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, 
taken near
 the swan pen that same morning shortly before we ventured into the 
woods. It never sang but the habitat (dense shrubs
 near slow-moving or standing water vs. more open areas with flowing 
water) and yellowish tinge to the eyebrow suggested 
Northern to us rather than Louisiana. Please weigh in if this needs 
correction. 
Have also posted pictures I took yesterday early evening of a tern, I believe a 
COMMON TERN, fishing a lake up on Honeypot Rd (Candor). My husband spotted it 
while driving home from teaching in Candor. Light was poor and the bird was 
fast; hard to get a good shot.
This morning I spotted a gull on Jennings Pond in Danby as I was driving by. 
Not sure what it was, but posted a bad pic of it I took from car. If you can 
identify it, please make a comment under photo (Bonaparte's?) 

Link for photos:
https://picasaweb.google.com/ruby612/IthacaBirds2011#

Here at home in Brooktondale, my feeders are awash in color with 4+ 
Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks, 2+ Baltimore Orioles, Purple Finches, Goldfinches, a 
Red-Bellied Woodpecker, and a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker (coming in for cracked 
corn). (can you pls send the Indigo Bunting over this way, Charles? I need some 
blue...)

[cayugabirds-l] Rose-breasted Grosbeaks

2011-05-04 Thread bilbaker
I arrived home from town this evening close to 7PM to a rather nice
surprise - 4 male and 1 female Rose-breasted Grosbeaks on my porch feeders
all at once. The feeders are about 2 ft apart,  so I was able to see them
all through a single window. I have never seen so many of this species in
such close proximity beforeA very nice reminder of spring after such a
dreary day.

[cayugabirds-l] Common Moorhen, Stewart Park

2011-05-04 Thread Jay McGowan
Jeff Gerbracht found a COMMON MOORHEN in the cattails in jetty woods along
Fall Creek across from boathouse area at Stewart Park late this afternoon.
 I was able to refind the bird late this evening after a lot of searching,
probably visible from Stewart Park halfway between the boathouse and Renwick
(though I saw it from the golf course side.)  Also present on the flooded
areas on the golf course were two male BLUE-WINGED TEAL, eight GREEN-WINGED
TEAL, two RING-NECKED DUCKS, two SOLITARY SANDPIPERS, and two GREATER
YELLOWLEGS.  A little earlier in the evening I saw seven COMMON TERNS
offshore, three flying and four sitting on a piece of plywood straight
offshore from Stewart Park.

Good birding.

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma and Myer's Today 5/4/11

2011-05-04 Thread david nicosia
Wasn't planning on a trip today but when radar showed that it was
raining from Binghamton and points east, decided to head west. 
Getting tired of birding in the rain!!

First stop was Myer's and I had 2 ORCHARD ORIOLES,
1 singing near the entrance and the other across
the Salmon Creek. Even though, it wasn't raining, the wind 
and cold were brutal at the point where there were 2 COMMON
LOONS, 1 very close to shore. There were also 
many RING-BILLED GULLS, KILLDEER and 1 GREAT 
BLUE HERON. The best birds for me at Myer's were 4  COMMON 
TERNS migrating up the lake. They were first visible, near 
the opposite shore and  I had a tough time id'ing them as they
appeared to have lighter wing tips. But, they then shifted course 
and came across the  lake and flew low over the point. I had 
great looks of the gray wings with touches of black at the tips 
confirming for me common  terns. I also had a few AMERICAN 
PIPITS at the point.  

There were also many many swallows migrating up
the lake and at Montezuma.  Most of the swallows were 
BARN, with lesser numbers of TREE and BANK 
and just a few NORTHERN ROUGH-WINGED. 

At the Montezuma visitor's center, the water
was very high so there were still a few groups of 
waterfowl similar to the last few weeks: GREEN
WINGED, and BLUE WINGED TEAL,
NORTHERN SHOVELER, and GADWALL.
There were about 10 PURPLE MARTINS
flying around. I also heard a SORA calling 
from the marsh. 

Along Wildlife Drive, I saw a small group of 
BONAPARTE'S GULLS flying with several 
RING-BILLED GULLS over the main pool.  
I found a couple small groups of REDHEADS.
There was 1 immature BALD EAGLE and
1 OSPREY kiting over the large numbers of
carp. The osprey dove once but came up empty.
I wondered how this could be because there were
so many carp visible at the surface! 

At the new shorebird area, there were several
LEAST SANDPIPERS, 1 AMERICAN PIPIT,
and a few SAVANNAH SPARROWS. 

May's Point had a nice variety of birds.
There were PALM, YELLOW and
YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS with
1 AMERICAN REDSTART. There were
many AMERICAN COOTS, several
COMMON MOORHEN, PIED BILLED GREBE, 
BALD EAGLE,  RUDDY DUCKS, including 
some handsome males in breeding plumage, 
REDHEAD(few),  BUFFLEHEAD(1), 
RING-NECKED DUCKS(few),  GREEN-WINGED 
TEAL, GADWALL and  NORTHERN SHOVELERS.

At Carncross Road, had 3 more BONAPARTE'S GULLS
all still in winter plumage among RING-BILLED GULLS. 
The water levels are very high that the water was  
almost level to the road!! If it comes up another 3-6 inches
most of this road will be flooded. Only shorebirds present 
were 2  LESSER YELLOWLEGS.  There were still several
varieties of waterfowl including NORTHERN PINTAIL, 
GREEN-WINGED TEAL,  NORTHERN SHOVELER, 
and BUFFLEHEAD. There was one SANDHILL CRANE 
vocalizing which was pretty neat.  

I snapped a few photos along the way which can
be found here...

[cayugabirds-l] Feeder birds: Baltimore Oriole, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and Siskins

2011-05-04 Thread Candace Cornell
*This morning at 6:30 am., I saw our first backyard male Baltimore Oriole
five years. It was competing for suet with a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak, of
which I’ve had a small flock for several days. I’ve put out lots of string,
twine, and grape vine strips for the birds to nest with and hope the oriole
nests nearby. Between 15-20 Pine Siskins have also been here for several
weeks, intermingling with the flock 60-72+ American Goldfinch. (I usually
have a goldfinch for every available nyjer seed feeder perch.)*

[cayugabirds-l] A few first of years at Sapsucker Woods this AM for me

2011-05-04 Thread Chris Pelkie
45 min chilly walk this AM from 720-805 around N Wilson trail and a swing by 
Fuller Wetlands got me 3 real FOYs and a technical. I full-capitalized only 
these for you scanners.

Before I even opened the Lab door, I scanned the terrain, as many birds get 
close to the Lab and swinging the door open is a bad way to start.
Through the window I got my first of year EASTERN KINGBIRD as he flew to a low 
branch on the island. In the same binocular view was a Canada Goose and 
Yellow-rumped Warbler. Frankly, I think that is quite amusing, but what a place 
to bird!

Then, as I did move out onto the dock, observing one of the nesting Great Blue 
Herons sitting rather farther out on the snag tree than normal, a few Common 
Grackles and other small birds chased a Red-tailed Hawk from near the feeding 
station, and the hawk landed on the vertical of the snag. This caused the heron 
to fully extend its neck and hold that pose; it resembled a bittern and also 
brought to mind the scene Dave Nutter pointed out to our group on Sunday of a 
flying Great Blue Heron with neck fully extended; we jumped out and observed it 
and others flying nearby in a 'normal' posture with S-curved neck. So now I 
wonder what that pose means: aggression/dominance? fear? attention to danger? 
It's pretty distinctively different than the normal neck posture.

Moving up the trail, I had many of the common birds visible or singing* but 
suddenly saw fast-moving foraging small birds on the pond edge and focused on 
my first AMERICAN REDSTART male. My first thought was that the other small bird 
right behind would be a female Redstart, but when I got on it, found it was my 
first (technical) COMMON YELLOWTHROAT this year. Technical, because on Sunday 
at Braddock Bay we had a COYE in hand that had been mist-netted for banding, so 
this was my first one 'on the hoof'. Good looks, then at the end of the walk, 
probably the same bird reappeared at the pond edge close to the lab as I came 
in, and I had some more grand views of him 8' away (and no camera, drat it 
all!).

At the turning point of the trail, before the footbridge I got a new 
flycatcher. First impressions against the gray sky were Least, or Pewee, or 
Willow/Alder. Saw 2 wing bars, small size, 'pwit' calls, but couldn't get it to 
sit still for a head shot. But as I walked across the bridge, what was almost 
certainly the same bird came through at a lower level and preened for a bit, 
allowing me to see the eye ring and nail down my first of year LEAST FLYCATCHER.

* regular birds seen or heard this AM: Mallard, American Robin, Brown-headed 
Cowbird, American Goldfinch, White-throated Sparrow, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, 
Common Grackle, American Crow, White-breasted Nuthatch, Northern Flicker, 
Tufted Titmouse, Blue Jay, Red-winged Blackbird, Black-capped Chickadee, Tree 
Swallow, Wood Duck, Gray Catbird, Yellow Warbler, possible Red-breasted 
Nuthatch (sounded rather like but couldn't spot it)

[cayugabirds-l] Dodge Rd: Bobolinks, E.KINGBIRDS, Kestrel, Palm Warbler, etc.

2011-05-04 Thread Nari Mistry
I walked down Dodge Rd at 5:30pm in a slight drizzle under cold overcast 
skies.
A female Kestrel was keeping vigil in the lone tree standing in the 
middle of the uppermost (South) field. Her colors looked beautiful in 
this light.
Four E.Kingbirds flew in from the east across the lower fields and sat 
for a conference in a young maple before dispersing one by one. They may 
have just arrived.
As I stood pishing beside the spruce grove, a troop of 20 Yellow-rumped 
Warblers tumbled out and did an entertaining aerial trapeze act, popping 
out in the open one by one to look at me. It was hard to scan through 
them, but I caught one (Eastern, yellow) Palm Warbler.


On the way back, I heard the wit-wit-wit call of a Wood-thrush from the 
scrubby woods.


Finally, back at the south field, a male Bobolink flew up into the tree 
where the Kestrel had been. When he flew back down, he led me to another 
male Bobolink. The two sat on adjacent bullrushes, displaying their 
puffed-up yellow napes, hoping for mates.
I was glad to see bobolinks again here -- they used to be regular 
breeders in these fields until the early mowing started up years ago. 
Bobolinks  Meadowlarks are rare here now.

[cayugabirds-l] Mundy WFG early afternoon

2011-05-04 Thread Marie P Read
While taking photos for the basin birding site guide in Mundy Wildflower Garden 
around 2:00 today, I heard the buzzy song of a Blue-winged Warbler and later 
the bright song and chatter calls of a Baltimore Oriole.

The wildflowers are looking lovely!
