RE: [cayugabirds-l] Oranges
The only time I had success with oranges for orioles was a number of years back when it was a cool, wet spring and the orioles arrived before there were any tree blossoms or much leaf-out.

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard - 11 May 2012 - Beautiful AM, Relatively Quiet (8 Warbler sp.)
This morning, I birded the Hawthorn Orchard on East Hill in Ithaca, NY from about 8:15am until about 9:15am. It was a very nice morning to be out and about, but it was relatively quiet bird-wise. The sunshine definitely brought out some song by some birds early on, but it got quiet as the time progressed. Here are the highlights: 1 Solitary Sandpiper (flyover, non-vocal) 1 Least Flycatcher (che-BECK NE corner) 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet (NW corner, near big oak tree) 1 Wood Thrush (still holding territory near NE corner) 1 Tennessee Warbler (loud singer early on, from near tops of maples in ravine near NE corner) 1 Northern Parula (singing a few songs toward end of visit, NE corner) 1 Yellow Warbler (distant singer) 1 Chestnut-sided Warbler (singing alternate type song at NW corner near big oak and down into ravine) 2-3 Magnolia Warblers (occasional singers along Northern section and down into ravine) (Missed Stuart Krasnoff's Black-throated Green Warbler) 1 Black-and-white Warbler (singing persistently from a perch, while preening, for a good five minutes; NW corner near big oak tree) 1-2 American Redstarts (down in ravine area to North of the Hawthorn Orchard) 2-3 Common Yellowthroats (territories) 2 Indigo Buntings (heard producing chink notes; observed foraging in top of Hawthorns at NE corner, then flew West, over Hawthorn Orchard) 2-3 Baltimore Orioles I suspect that tomorrow there will be a minor mix of new arrivals and another departure of existing birds, but it doesn't look like any kind of super fall-out conditions can be expected - I'll post if anything good shows up.

[cayugabirds-l] Eurasian Wigeon, Montezuma NWR
Hi all, I'm not sure if this has been posted, but apparently a EURASIAN WIGEON has been seen at Tschache Pool several times over the last week or so, including as recently as this morning. We missed it last weekend (very few dabblers of any kind on the pool), but it was seen last week and several times this week. Larue and Jackie also report 15 BLACK TERNS at Tschache, 14 BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERONS at Knox-Marsellus (Livia and I had 22 last weekend), and 15 SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS and 39 DUNLIN at Puddler Marsh. Last weekend we were unable to find Black Terns at Tschache, but did have 20+ flying around and sitting on muskrat mounds in the marsh on Van Dyne Spoor Road. Finally, I don't think this was ever posted either, several people found (over the course of the day, and mostly without getting the word out) a CLAY-COLORED SPARROW on the edge of the woods at Van Dyne Spoor Road. Tim Lenz et al independently found it towards the end of the day and texted it to the RBA, but we were unable to relocate it in the fading daylight.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Fri 5/11
I had a lone PINE SISKIN flying north over my house this morning, so maybe that's the one Mark saw. There were still the remnants of a migrant flock on Tareyton Drive near my house this morning -- 6-8 YELLOW-RUMPS, 1 AMERICAN REDSTART, 1 NASHVILLE, 1 YELLOW WARBLER, 1 singing RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET, 1 LEAST FLYCATCHER. Yesterday morning, these were joined by a silent BLUE-HEADED VIREO, a singing NORTHERN PARULA, singing BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER, a Western PALM WARBLER, and a SWAINSON'S THRUSH. Single NASHVILLE and MAGNOLIA WARBLER in my backyard both mornings as well. I've tried for the Yellow-throated Warbler 4 times already without success, although it was either raining, foggy, or late afternoon on all of my tries.
