[cayugabirds-l] Louisiana Waterthrush

[W. Larry Hymes]

This evening Sara Jane and I took a walk in Upper Buttermilk.  As we 
approached the outflow for Lake Treman, we were wonderfully surprised to 
hear a LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH singing.  After soaking up the bird's 
beautiful sounds, we continued up to the lake, where we found a pair of 
COMMON MERGANSER and a BELTED KINGFISHER.  The waterthrush sang pretty 
much continuously, and as we rounded the bend below the upper lot and 
started back, we could still hear it singing.  What a great way to greet 
the change of seasons!

[cayugabirds-l] Dryden Lake, etc.

[Susan Fast]

Late afternoon, I stopped by Dryden Lake.  The only new bird was a male 
LONG-TAILED DUCK, still mostly in winter plumage.  There are more HORNED and 
PIED-BILLED GREBES scattered over the lake than I'm used to seeing.
Then stopped at the "Pond with no birds" (next to Rt. 38, just south of Dryden 
village) and located a BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERON on the beaver lodge in the SW 
corner.  Bunch of ducks too.

[cayugabirds-l] Osprey

[Carol Keeler]

It seems the Osprey have reclaimed their former nest at Mud Lock.  It's nice 
that they have returned to their former nesting site.  With so many Osprey 
around I figured a pair would claim it sooner or later.

The Osprey pair on the rt. 89 bridge have begun to rebuild their nest on the 
same side as last year.

[cayugabirds-l] Osprey - Nest Building?

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

This morning, as I was driving along Game Farm Road (East Hill, Ithaca) from 
Ellis Hollow Road to Route 366, I observed an in-flight Osprey carrying a 
stick. The bird landed atop one of the six floodlight poles for the Cornell 
soccer fields closest to Ellis Hollow Road. Specifically, it landed on the 
middle pole of the South row of three poles. I suspect this bird may be 
constructing a nest at this site. Not a bad site for another Cornell nest 
cam…easy power access…

Good birding!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Song sparrow and Peepers

[Meena Madhav Haribal]

My Song Sparrow also arrived today morning and he was singing his heart out. I 
know it is the same guy because his song seems to be the same. I recorded him 
among the traffic noise. But will confirm it later with the songs of the 
previous years that I have recorded.

[cayugabirds-l] Cornell Arboretum Ring-necked Ducks, Bufflehead

[Marie P. Read]

Hi all,

Thursday morning, the pond in the Cornell Plantations Arboretum held three 
Ring-necked Ducks (2 males, 1 female) and a male Bufflehead. They have been 
there a couple of days, swimming around and diving for food, and fairly 
approachable if anyone wants a close look. 

Otherwise, many of the usual suspects.

[cayugabirds-l] Lab of O Waterthrush

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

There was a LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH on the Wilson Trail North this morning.
It called several times as it passed over the trail and landed along the
northern leg of the stream at the footbridge.

There was also a Canada Goose on its nest and four AMERICAN WIGEON flew
into the back pond.
