[cayugabirds-l] Wren question...
Hi all, I respect the opinions and knowledge of all of you on this list. I have a question for you all. I was out over the weeken birding, and I was somewhere yesterday where I heard some wrens singing. I kept hearing tea kettle tea kettle tea kettle..., the song of a Carolina Wren, yet where I was all they have is House Wrens. I believe these wrens (there were more than one) were House Wrens. Are any of you aware of House Wrens mimicking Carolina Wrens?

[cayugabirds-l] Scott, Owasco Flats Ceruleans, cone crops and more
Hello all, A few sightings from around the area this past weekend-- Julie and I had a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD on Long road just uphill from the house with the red garage -- this is a high elevation location for this species. We also had a BROWN THRASHER at the sharp bend on Long Rd along with Catbirds everywhere -- a mimic sweep on Long Rd. At High Vista FLLT preserve at south end of Skan. Lake we had HOODED WARBLER, MOURNING WARBLER, Chestnut-sided, many redstarts, and YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO. We also had a BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO in our travels. At Owasco Flats we had a CERULEAN WARBLER behind the wastewater treatment plant and another across from Dee-Dee's Ice Cream stand. At the little town park at the south end of Owasco Lake we had 2 pairs of VIRGINIA RAILS, a COMMON MOORHEN, 4 YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOOS and a few YELLOW- THROATED VIREOS. We did not look for the Sandhill Crane pair because we couldn't remember where in Owasco Flats they were recently reported. Summerhill had many of the usual breeders including RAVEN, Louisiana Waterthrush and many other warbler species. Around the house in Scott are Black-throated Blue and Green, Redstart, Blue-winged, LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH, MOURNING WARBLER, WINTER WREN, and much more. We didn't have time to check on the Fillmore Glen Acadian Flycatchers, but I'm sure there's a few pairs up the glen. The cone crop is really shaping up to be perhaps the best its been since 2000-01. I'll be surprised if Type 1 Red Crossbills aren't nesting by July 4 in white spruce and European larch in many of the state lands in Cortland, Chenango, Onondaga and Madison counties. cheers, Matt mail2web.com - Microsoft® Exchange solutions from a leading provider - http://link.mail2web.com/Business/Exchange -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] merg babies/re Elaina
A week ago I watched, from the swan pen at SP, a mother common merg with 10 babies swim out from shore. 4 or 5 rode on her back, the rest in a line behind. Every few minutes the mother would maneuver with a dip sideways so that the most forward babies on her back would fall off and the rest would do moving up. The family was maybe 30 yds offshore when another female merg flew in and attacked the mother. Mother dumped babies and fought attacker off. Attacker moved abt 4 yds away, flattened her head, and repeated the attack. This sequence was repeated a dozen times after which the unsuccessful attacker finally flew off. After every attack the babies resumed their lineup on the mother's back. Does anyone have an explanation for the behavior of the attacker? Did she want some of the babies?

[cayugabirds-l] Hooded Warbler and Hermit Thrush Singing near South Hill Rail Trail
I hiked off-trail below the South Hill Rail Trail near the Burns Rd. entrance this afternoon between 1::00 and 3:00 PM. I had two encounters with birds I've never heard singing in those woods. One was a Hermit Thrush singing sporadically in tall timber on the edge of a gorge. About an hour later I had a Hooded Warbler singing persistently in another area about 1/4 mile away from the thrush . With no encouragement from me the Hooded came down to check me out and we made naked-eye contact. I watched him sing for a few minutes and observed some brief aerobatic interactions with another bird. A singing Tufted Titmouse and a foraging Red-eyed Vireo were nearby so it could have been either one of them, or maybe...I'd like to think... it was a Hooded female. I've had both these species in the area in the past but never singing as if on territory. I'd be interested in any observations anyone might have suggesting either of these species might be regular breeders in the lower Six-mile Basin. If anyone (the June counter for this area?) wants to know how to find the exact location for these birds please contact me off-list. Thanks...Stuart -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
Re: [cayugabirds-l] week-end notes
My understanding is that Salt Point, the part of the delta north of Salmon Creek, although owned by the DEC has for the last couple years been managed by the Town of Lansing, who put in the gravel loop road. I agree that their decision to wreck so much good bird habitat by clearing the eastern half, and for no obvious good purpose, is tragic. That area was good for Brown Thrasher and Northern Shrike among many other species I haven't been in there in awhile. Have they cleared even more?--Dave NutterOn May 30, 2011, at 07:03 PM, Meena Haribal m...@cornell.edu wrote:Yellow-billed Cuckoo at Myers Point I am annoyed that the DEC has cleared lots of brush habitat to make way for a mowedbarren land, which in past were home for WillowFlycatchers, Yellow warblers, Orioles andother Common birds.

[cayugabirds-l] Salt Point
This is from the Town of Lansing Parks and Recreation Department website. The Town of Lansing has signed a lease with the NY Department of Environmental Conservation to manage Salt Point, restoring its natural features and making it a place where people can enjoy nature. http://www.lansingrec.com/content/blogcategory/14/14/ Jim From: bounce-33892422-3494...@list.cornell.edu [bounce-33892422-3494...@list.cornell.edu] On Behalf Of Dave Nutter [nutter.d...@me.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2011 6:58 PM To: Meena Haribal Cc: CAYUGABIRDS-L Subject: Re: [cayugabirds-l] week-end notes My understanding is that Salt Point, the part of the delta north of Salmon Creek, although owned by the DEC has for the last couple years been managed by the Town of Lansing, who put in the gravel loop road.
