[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park warblers
I didn't find the Nashville Warbler around the swan pen mid-morning today, but I did have the continuing AUDUBON'S WARBLER, a Western PALM WARBLER, and a chipping then singing NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH at the east end of the path. -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology jw...@cornell.edu -- 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] Can you help ID this bird?
New visitor to yard, feeder etc. ever. Small gray bird, smaller than a chickadee. Quickly flew and disappeared into a large white pine when I went outside to see him, but he kept singing. Notes were in sets of 3, if you are musical he sang E D G B E D G B E D G B I listened to all the vireo songs and nothing was similar. Definitely not a gnatcatcher. -- 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] Black and white warbler?
Hi Folks, I wouldn't swear to it but I'm pretty sure I saw a Black and White Warbler on the Pergola behind my house just now. It appeared for just a few seconds but I did see the stripes and no other color. Of course it immediately flew off to who knows where.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Can you help ID this bird?
Survey says! Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Mark Chao directed me to a page with lots of different variations on its song and one was pretty similar. Thanks to all who replied, I really appreciate it!

[cayugabirds-l] Osprey's stick tricks
I watched the Salt Point Ospreys for an hour this evening. During heavy rain one landed repeatedly in the lake, apparently combining a shower from above with a bath. The female perched on the box for long periods and the male approached several times, apparently with mating in mind, but the female always took off just as he got to hovering a foot or two above her. For the last half hour the female stayed perched while the male brought sticks to the box. This was rather spectacular: his collection method was to fly past a tree, grab the end of a branch in his talons as he went by, and try to break it off in flight. He succeeded five or six times, and deposited the broken-off pieces, a foot or two long, in the nest. He failed more times than he succeeded, including once when he got flipped upside down and backwards by a hefty branch that didn't break and snapped back before he could let go. Interesting flying, to say the least. The female sat and watched the whole show, not noticeably impressed. I assume this is must be the standard method of getting nice clean fresh sticks, but I didn't know about it and was amazed. --John Greenly -- 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] Osprey's stick tricks
While not an Osprey, I watched the Bald Eagles at Mud Lock do the same thing to gather sticks. I never saw them not succeed at taking a stick off a tree so I have no idea what would happen if it couldn't break it off. It's really cool to watch them, isn't it?
