[cayugabirds-l] Wegmans area birds; Stewart Park
I spent some time looking for the Audubon's Yellow-rumped Warbler that Team Sapsucker found at Wegmans this morning. I did hear it give its distinctive chip note on the other side of the canal, but I never got a look at it. Several MYRTLE YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS were around, as well as the continuing YELLOW WARBLER and a very late LINCOLN'S SPARROW! I will check for the Audubon's again at lunch time and will post if it is still around. At Stewart Park, a female BLACK SCOTER is hanging out with the Ruddy Duck flock off the east end, giving very nice looks. Redheads and both scaup are also present. Also, nothing incredible but some cool birds at Myers yesterday morning with the strong north winds, including tons of loons (some higher up than I have ever seen a bird!), a smattering of waterfowl, and some nice Snow Buntings: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S15657710 -Jay -- 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/ --

Host: Irby Lovette* A bird of the Canadian boreal forests, Gray Jays breed in late winter andrely on cached food to survive. But at the southern edge of the bird’s range in Algonquin Park, Ontario, the jays have been declining for the past 20 years. One hypothesis is that increasingly warmer fall temperatures are spoiling cached food. Using data from a banded population that spans more than 50 years as well as a series of novel experiments, Norris presents results that test both the assumptions and predictions of the “hoard-rot hypothesis.” *December 9 Cayuga Bird Club Meeting and Seminar* *The Way West: Birding with a Microphone* *Speaker: Bob McGuire, sound recordist, former CBC president, and editor of Birding the Cayuga Lake Basin.

[cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant Horned Larks
HI all, Forgot to post this earlier, but a flock of 2 dozen or so Horned Larks flushed up from the side of the road at the field that has just had corn harvested, east end of Mt Pleasant Road, about 11 am today. First time I've seen Horned Larks up there for weeks.
