[cayugabirds-l] Red-tail nest
Dave's story of the Chickadee nest reminded me that I wanted to share a new nest sighting. While birding Mulholland Preserve yesterday I saw two Ravens chasing a Red-tailed Hawk from the gorge downstream, presumably away from their nesting location. The same Red-tails have a new nest location this year. The old one was up the hill behind the water plant and I'm not sure if it is being used again. The new one is at the first bend in the creek walking from the lot. Stand at the log jamb by shore and look across the creek bend to the two tallest pines, the nest is in the left tree at the top. The preserve was alive with Ruby-crowned Kinglet yesterday. I counted ten from the flat area. The Louisiana Waterthrushes and Winter Wren were also singing.

I saw a pair of chickadees approach a narrow high dead tree trunk, and one of them entered what appeared to be an old hole with a ragged entrance, one of three holes spaced along its length. The odd thing is that this tree trunk was not connected to a tree. It had snapped off, turned upside-down, and been caught in the top of another tree.

[cayugabirds-l] Sunday SFO Local Trip
This weekend was Derby Hill for SFO. In spite of the cool temperature and NW wind, I hope that those who ventured up there were rewarded by at least a few good birds. For those who elected to stay here, I led the local group of some dozen folks today. We began at the Lab, out beyond the third parking lot, with great looks at a couple of singing Swamp Sparrows. The main goal, however, was the reported Virginia Rail. We waited and waited, and I began to wonder if perhaps the cold (low 30's with a dusting of snow on the ground) had forced it to hunker down. Just as we were ready to give up, we heard the distinct ki-dik, ki-dik call. And as we stood there smiling, a second rail gave out a grunt sequence. So there were at least two birds present. From there we drove to Stewart Park to walk the swan pen, looking for Yellow-rumped Warblers and anything else that may have come in recently. We were immediately greeted by a startlingly bright Yellow Warbler, a couple of Yellow-rumps, and a pair of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers. Farther along we spotted a second Yellow Warbler and the lingering Audubon's Yellow-rump. Then, as were getting ready to leave, John Confer (leading the Cayuga Bird Club trip up the lake) came over to point out four Spotted Sandpipers interacting along the bank of Fall Creek. A part of my agenda today was to show folks birding spots that were new to them. Since many of the participants had heard of the hawthorn orchard but had never been there, we made it our next stop, walked in from the east side, and were greeted by a newly-arrived Brown Thrasher in full song. It is still a bit early for that spot, but we did have a good opportunity to study a couple of Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Our last stop was South Monkey Run where we walked the (rather muddy) east trail from the parking lot out to Rt 13 and back along the railroad bed. Not only was it a bit sloppy, but there were almost no birds! It wasn't until half way back along the RR bed that we encountered several more kinglets, a Carolina Wren, and our first Pine Warbler. It was actively foraging and singing, high up in the red pines but eventually came out briefly, silhouetted against the sky, for a great look. We managed, for most of the morning, to stay out of the wind, but it was still cold, and my gloves only came off when we reached the cars for the ride back to the Lab.

[cayugabirds-l] SFO Sunday Derby Hill Group Z
The weather today was not ideal for a major hawk movement but the winds were light northerly (around 5-10 mph), and with full sun it was not that bad out even with temperatures in the 40s. Since the winds were fairly light northerly, there still was some raptor migration evident as we had several small kettles of BROAD-WINGED HAWKS with as many as 4 or 5 birds per kettle. In addition, we had a couple OSPREY, several SHARP-SHINNED HAWKS, TVs, and few migrant RED-TAILED HAWKS and a BALD EAGLE. An even more impressive migration that was taking place were the swallows. There were likely thousands of swallows, mostly TREE but a quite few BARN mixed in with a few ROUGH-WINGED. The counter mentioned that he had also seen BANK and CLIFF today as well. Our group didn't. But the swallows were pretty much everywhere in swarms. We also saw many many swallows flying low over the waters of Lake Ontario as we were watching for waterfowl and other waterbirds. We did get on several flocks of LONG-TAILED DUCKS, quite a few different groups of RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS (by far the most common duck up there today). There were also DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS and at least one BUFFLEHEAD. Strangely, no loons today. The usual CASPIAN TERNS were coursing around back and forth giving all excellent views from the bluff overlooking Lake Ontario. The snipe spot near Derby had several snipe but there was one right by the edge of the road giving all of us excellent views. I snapped a few photos... http://www.flickr.com/photos/davenicosia/8670277892/in/set-72157633299697236/ We then headed to the northern Montezuma wetlands complex but we did not have much time so we hit Carncross Road only hoping for a few shorebirds in the flooded fields. We did get several GREATER YELLOWLEGS and few LESSER YELLOWLEGS. There were also more WILSON'S SNIPE as well. The lighting was poor from Carncross. We also had 4 CASPIAN TERNS too. In general the water levels are very high around Montezuma. Last stop was the Seneca County Ag. Fairgrounds a.k.a Lott Farm and we hit the jackpot of field birds. We immediately got on 3 UPLAND SANDPIPERS right by the gravel road (thanks to Will's young eyes!). In addition, we had great views of HORNED LARKS (close) and EASTERN MEADOWLARKS also close. The lighting was perfect making these bird's yellow breast glow! We also saw the RED-TAILED HAWK sitting on the nest in a tree at the edge of the field. It was a great day and the best I have had personally at Derby in several years. The weather makes all the difference up there. Thanks to all in my group for a wonderful day of birding and fun.

[cayugabirds-l] swallow activity over Fall Creek at Caldwell/Forest Home
Viewed from the bridge over Fall Creek at Forest Home this afternoon, small clouds of mixed swallows were doing impossible-looking acrobatics in the nippy air--certainly Barn Swallows and Tree Swallows, but probably others. I couldn't see well in the light at the time and they kept zooming up very high. Couldn't see anything flying for them to eat, though. Anne B.
