[cayugabirds-l] Olive-sided Flycatcher in the vicinity of 411 Warren road now
An OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER is making its way around the Warren/Hanshaw area right now. It was visible both through binoculars and scope on various bare trees about 100 yards west of my driveway between 6:45 and 7AM but is now moving around calling loudly, sounding at the moment as though it's more toward Muriel Street. I tried to text but was rejected. Dave, I need to consult with you about what I am doing wrong.

[cayugabirds-l] Conn Warbler - Goetchius -7:30
There is a singing CNWA just downstream of the Goetchius Parking Lot (the o ne with the little foot bridge); 7:30, 13 May. For those for whom it matters, unfortunately, sort of out of basin. Of course, if it were frozen, and there was a tremendous wind from the east, it is possible that a snowflake that fell on the parking lot could be blown about 400 m to the west and end melting and flowing into Cayuga Lake, in which case you might say that the parking lot was within the watershed of the Cayuga Lake. John Confer By the way, probable nesting Sora and Virginia Rails,and Wilson's Snipe. Male Harrier seen 7-8 times this spring, foraging and carrying food away to southsoutheast (by breeding bird atlas this would be confirmed carrying nesting via food for young). -- 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] Hooded Warbler, CNC
This morning our small group found the Hooded Warbler on territory at CNC. It perched in plain sight, singing, for a good five minutes, and gave us quite a show. Also exciting were a number of Veerys strolling along the path in front of us, giving long views but no songs, as well as male and female Scarlet Tanagers together, up close. (We stayed in the woods and did not go up to the fields, so may have missed a few species up there.) To find the Hooded Warbler, enter the woods on the right below the lodge, cross the bridge, and take the middle path to where it ends at another bridge (west side of the log cabin clearing). The bird was defending the area on the left, where there are maple saplings. My eBird report follows. Happy Mother's Day!

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Conn Warbler - No
I was at Goetchius from about 10:30 to 11:30 but was not able to find the Connecticut Warbler. I heard a couple of interesting songs but they were probably Common Yellowthroats. There were lots of singing Common Yellowthroats and Yellow Warblers. I did see two Eastern Kingbirds, a Baltimore Oriole, and several Bobolinks. And I heard one or two Alder Flycatchers,Savannah Sparrows, and Swamp Sparrows. I also heard a probably Virginia Rail grunt.

[cayugabirds-l] It's 8:28pm and do you know where your hummingbird is???
Answer: still guzzling at the sugar-water feeder. It's nearly dark , all the other birds have long fallen silent, the peepers are calling, and the Ruby-throated Hummingbird is taking his last drink of the evening before disappearing to roost. I've been watching this pattern of tanking up for the night for several evenings, and not surprising it's getting later and later. He feeds sporadically through the day, but in the evening he hangs out close to the feeder and just feeds and feeds. I've seen this later in the summer with juveniles, but this is the first time I've been spending so much time watching the male.

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club Field Trip to Lindsay Parsons
On Sunday, I was joined for a glorious day of birding at Lindsay Parsons by Rob Warfield, Klaus Apel, and Judy Thoroughman. I don't think we could have picked a nicer day. There was none of the predicted rain and the temperature remained perfect all day. An added bonus… not a single tick in sight! Most of the birds we heard we were eventually able to see although some eluded our sight. Unfortunately a few of also eluded identification. On the west side of the tracks (blue trail from entrance to railroad bed), Yellow, Chestnut-sided, Blue-winged, and Prairie Warblers; Common Yellowthroats; Indigo Buntings; and Field Sparrows were common throughout their appropriate habitats. Red-eyed and Blue-headed Vireos both gave us nice looks as well as an almost constant serenade. Along the boundary between shrub and field, we got decent looks at a Brown Thrasher but did not hear it sing. At the big pond, as we alternated between watching a Solitary Sandpiper and scanning the pond, Rob noticed a mature Bald Eagle in a tree on the south side of the pond. As Judy watched it fly away behind the trees to the west of the pond, she came across a Belted Kingfisher perched on an limb. Along what I think of as Warbler Way LP (as opposed to Warbler Way Howland Island), we spotted a female Ruby-throated Hummingbird and watched as a male chased her from her perch. At the bridge just before the railroad tracks, we watched a pair of Eastern Phoebe fly-catching and tail-flicking. I had a quick glimpse of a Hooded Warbler but no one else got on it before it disappeared. On the other other side of the tracks (left side of blue trail) we heard but did not see Junco and Black White Warbler. At Celia's Cup we were stymied by a song none of us could pinpoint with 100% certainty. To protect our honor, I won't even mention all of the possibilities we ran through. Needless to say, whatever species it was, it proved to be our nemesis. On the other side of the tracks (red trail), some of us finally got a glimpse of a Wood Thrush after listening to them sing all morning. Scarlet Tanagers were singing from their hiding places at the tops of the now well-leafed out trees and Ovenbirds were singing from their equally obscured locations lower in the trees. At the intersection of the red trail and the railroad bed, we watched three not-so-Solitary Sandpipers in the barely-there pond and a Baltimore Oriole from high in the trees. Leaving he Preserve with time to spare, we decided not to trudge through the forest on the slim hope of hearing and/or seeing a Worm-Eating Warbler. Instead we headed over to the Fire House and had great looks at Eastern Kingbird, American Redstart, and Magnolia Warbler. On the way home we took a slight detour up a road I cannot name to listen for Black-throated Green and then detoured again to the intersection of Sandbank and King Roads to watch and listen to the aerial displays of Bobolink. Funny how whenever they land, it seems to be just on the other side of the rise. We did not hear any Grasshopper Sparrow while we were there. Thanks to Rob, Klaus, and Judy for a great day of birding. If I missed anything important in this report, I hope they will feel free to add to it.
