Just a heads-up that there may be a notable movement of birds southward from 
Canada and other areas to the North of us. If anyone wants to try for it, there 
could be a good thrush descent between about 5:40am and 6:00am, with the bulk 
occurring around 5:50-5:55am. As the thrushes descend from migration into 
nearby forests, their calling rates pick up significantly for a brief period of 
time (5-10+ minutes).

I'm already hearing (recording) birds over Etna, NY. I've heard MANY Green 
Herons (kyowp! calls), a Bay-breasted Warbler (ID by spectrogram), and a nice 
classic Veery.

If there is a good descent, I would expect there to be some cleanup of Veeries 
and Wood Thrushes (departing our region), but with the bulk of the calls being 
those of Swainson's Thrushes (which sound like spring peepers in the sky). The 
scattered descent from this morning held a single Gray-cheeked Thrush among the 
Swainson's Thrushes and Veeries.

Good luck and good birding!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods

2013-09-05 Thread Ann Mitchell 
I got there around 1:30 or so and walked part of the Wilson Trail. I was 
rewarded by a foraging flock of warblers on the trail by the pond and past the 
blind and feeder. The warblers in order of appearance were Bay-breasted, 
Blackburnian, Chestnut-sided, Hooded, Nashville,and a spectacular look at a 
male Black-throated Blue. That bird was very close to me at eye level. I know 
there were other species there, but they were not easy to see.
Good birding,

My guess would be that stopping at Mundy Wildflower Garden was a tradition, 
passed along for a few generations of migrants, but not enforced by any really 
compelling geography, and now superceded by newer traditions about great places 
to stop for food and rest.

[cayugabirds-l] Mundy during lunch

2013-09-05 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal 
Hi all,
I birded Mundy during lunch time. Birds were hard to come by. But I did see in 
one spread out group where I saw a single specimen of each a Magnolia, Red-eyed 
Vireo and a Philadelphia Vireo along with chickadees. Slightly apart from this 
group was a single young Tennessee Warbler. All near  main entrance.

A second group was seen on the tiny trail on Plantations road and the birds may 
have been same as I had seen a few days earlier. Here I came across, a single 
Magnolia, a Chestnut-sided along with a young Flicker, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, 
lots of Robins with young that were still being fed, one WB Nuthatch and a 
flock of Cedar Waxwings and a single Song Sparrow.  Many of these guys were 
feeding on the ground.

I was wondering why there are not so many fall warblers in the Mundy in recent 
years. I remember a few years ago it used to be dripping or hopping with 
warblers. All we had to do was to listen to chickadees and follow to that 
location.  Even folks from Sapsucker Woods were coming to Mundy see the birds.

What has changed with Mundy in recent times, except trees have become mature or 
some Honeysuckles are gone. This years I have walked Mundy even without seeing 
a flock of chickadees during the walk.  Or is it the birds that stopped at  
Mundy no longer exist.

Birding along the Wilson Trail North in Sapsucker Woods was quite excellent
on Thursday morning.  By moving rather quickly and making one repeat pass,
we found ourselves among seething flocks several times.  Highlights, shared
mostly with Stuart Krasnoff and Lynn and Frank Roman, include the following.

 

* At least one male HOODED WARBLER (seen at first trail split and bend in
trail past second footbridge - Tilden's life bird); 

* 2+ male WILSON'S WARBLERS (several sightings)

* One or more dull CANADA WARBLERS (three sightings)

* 5+ BAY-BREASTED WARBLERS

* 2 BLACKPOLL WARBLERS

* 12+ MAGNOLIA WARBLERS (everywhere - could have been twice that many)

* 3+ CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLERS (including one probable adult male with strong
chestnut side streak)

* 2 BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLERS

* 1+ male BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLERS (two sightings, several calls heard)

* 1 male YELLOW WARBLER (one of the morning's bigger surprises)

[cayugabirds-l] Warbler surprise

2013-09-05 Thread Stephanie Greenwood 
Out walking with a friend this morning around about EcoVillage & 
neighboring Plantation woodland, came across a bird party - lots of 
chickadees. So stopped to check it out in case any migrants were hanging 
out with them. I put my glasses onto what I thought was a chickadee or 
nuthatch and found myself looking at a BLACK & WHITE WARBLER. Then 
nearby another flutter caught my eye and what I thought was another B&W 
Warbler turned out to be a BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER.

What a treat! has made my day.

[cayugabirds-l] FW: eBird Report - Sapsucker Woods--Wilson Trail North, Sep 5, 2013

2013-09-05 Thread Laura Stenzler 
Hi all,
 There was a nice variety of birds along the Wilson Trail north this morning 
between 7:50 and 8:50.  A low foraging BAY-BREASTED Warbler greeted me along 
the path to the Fuller Wetlands. At one point it flew down to the ground at my 
feet!  A bit further along was a MAGNOLIA WARBLER. All of the other warblers in 
the list below were in a flock at the corner of the Wilson Trail where it 
leaves the edge of the pond and turns north. Also in that corner was a loudly 
singing CAROLINA WREN, a BALTIMORE ORIOLE, a BLUE-HEADED VIREO and a couple of 
NUTHATCHES.  Catbirds are everywhere as are Goldfinches.
Nice morning!
Laura

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club meeting and dinner

2013-09-05 Thread cl...@juno.com 
The Cayuga Bird Club will hold its monthly meeting  next Monday, September 9, 
at 7:30 at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, with cookies and conversation at 
7:15.  

This special meeting of current, new, and potential Cayuga Bird
Club members will begin with a showing of slides from Stewart Park. Stewart 
Park is the focus of our major interpretive sign project, and this will be the 
main topic of the evening. This discussion and vote will be followed by an 
in-depth exchange of ideas and plans for current and future activities, as time 
allows.

Rather than hosting a speaker for dinner, the Club will be inviting interested 
members to join for dinner at Tamarind Restaurant at 5:30 pm prior to the 
meeting.  This is an opportunity for members to enjoy an extended time together 
as well as some great food. If you would like to join us for dinner, please 
RSVP to cl...@juno.com by Monday noon so that reservations can be made.

 
Good birding this weekend! Hope to see you Monday!
Colleen Richards
Correspondence Secretary
Cayuga Bird Club

[cayugabirds-l] Connecticut Warbler, Park Preserve

2013-09-05 Thread Jay McGowan 
Just flushed a CONNECTICUT WARBLER out of a goldenroad patch in the extreme
southeastern corner of the Park Preserve in Dryden. Did not get amazing
looks and have not been able to refind it, I will try a bit more and post
if I do. Here is what Google says my location is, not sure if it will work:
