[cayugabirds-l] New yard bird
We have two BROWN THRASHERS today, a new yard bird for us. I have not been sitting and watching steadily today, bit getting some window time here and there while doing some renovations. Who knows what is out there that we are missing.

[cayugabirds-l] Glossy Ibis
Hi All, The Glossy Ibis was still on Carncross by the bridge this early afternoon. It was among some Yellowlegs, and some Shovelers. I wonder if there are three here. There were two immature Bald Eagles down the river and when one would fly, it would flush the Ibis. It seemed pretty intent on its spot. It is still distant for photos though I took a couple. There were a few Great Blue Herons as well. We had our first bedraggled Rose-breasted Grosbeak this morning at home. Our House Wre was heard Friday. Just put a new house up for it.

[cayugabirds-l] Baldwin (Park) Preserve
I walked about the old Baldwin Preserve early this morning. I found 2 enigmas. I left the preserve to the east, walking down the trail to 6-Mile Creek. Towards the bottom was a small bunch of feathers; small ones gray, but several longer ones of a deep metallic green color. One feather I picked up is 12 cm. long. Off hand, I can't think of any local bird having a feather like that. Green heron, maybe, but odd place for one to get eaten. Second, at the swimming hole, I heard the song of a LA. WATERTHRUSH upstream a bit. Then spied a tail-bobbing, bright white-breasted bird on the far bank going into a hole under roots. It came out and was immediately joined by another waterthrush who also went into the hole briefly, came out, and the two of them walked around close together in the woods. The second bird had a bright yellow chest and belly (N. Waterthrush?) (nest)? While I watched this pair, I then heard a LA. WATERTHRUSH singing downstream about 100'. Sounds like a who-done-it day.

[cayugabirds-l] RB Grosbeak
Yahoo! I've now got a second male RB Grosbeak! He is sitting very still in my Wm. Baffin Rose right beneath the sunroom. I get the feeling he's very tired from a long trip here. I didn't see him come in, so I have no idea how long he's been sitting there. There's plenty of food when he's up to it. I do wonder if we had an influx of them today. I haven't seen any females yet. I usually have one pair that stays and nests in the scrubby woods along the creek.

[cayugabirds-l] Red-eyed Vireo
Took a walk this afternoon around the Fisher Old Growth Forest, which I figured would offer some shelter from the gusty northwest wind. Down at the bottom it was sunny and warm, and some migrants were actively foraging in the trees along the marsh edge. Among the Yellow-rumps and Ruby-crowned Kinglets was one Red-eyed Vireo. Many multiflora roses there are infected. -Geo -- 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] More Shindagin Hollow Birds
Inspired in part by Bob McGuire's post, I decided to head out to Shindagin Hollow late this morning. I started at Bald Hill School Road, which was extremely quiet (three species total), and then headed to Shindagin Hollow Road. I walked just under a mile, from a small dirt parking lot downslope to the wetland area near the end of the road. Despite the late hour and windy conditions, there was a nice amount of bird activity. Most of the warblers, kinglets, chickadees, and vireos were in a hemlock-dominated area. Good birding, Matt Medler Ithaca Shindagin Hollow SF--Shindagin Hollow Rd., Tompkins, US-NY May 4, 2014 11:59 AM - 12:59 PM Protocol: Traveling 0.9 mile(s) Comments: Mostly cloudy, light wind in woods, approximately 55°F.

[cayugabirds-l] Lansing migrants and night heron
A walk around my wooded neighborhood in Myers area of Lansing was very rewarding this morning. For warblers, we had Black-and-White, Blackburnian, Black-throated Green, Yellow, Nashville, Myrtle, and American Redstart (males of all). Other migrants included Warbling Vireo, Eastern Kingbird, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Solitary Sandpiper, Wood Duck, Chipping Sparrow, Northern Mockingbird, Gray Catbird, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, and Barn Swallow. At Myers Hill, an Osprey was gathering nest material, and the private pond across the road revealed an adult Black-crowned Night Heron (spotted and then harassed by grackles) plus a Green Heron. There were also Redheads and Blue-winged Teal on the pond, with the coots and mallards. Some neighbors, spotting our binos, invited us to see the mallard nest on their lake-front property in the vicinity of the aforementioned pond (I don't know the name of that pond, but it lies along the railroad tracks). The mallard nest curiously contained a ladderball piece (two orange balls connected by a rope; photo posted to CBC Facebook group). While there, we also saw female Bufflehead. All together, it is a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

[cayugabirds-l] 2 scarlet tanagers
We saw two stunningly bright male scarlet tanagers on our midday walk. One was on South Hill Rec Way about 1/2 mile east of the Juniper St. entrance (just past the former location of the gate across the trail). The second was on the west side of Water Street below the new valve building for the water plant. Both were nearly finished molting with small but differently-shaped light-colored areas toward the back of their otherwise solid scarlet breasts. The second bird was practically a yard bird for us!

[cayugabirds-l] NE Ithaca, Sun 5/4
En route to the Lab of Ornithology on Sunday morning, Miyoko, Tilden and I saw a male INDIGO BUNTING in the power line corridor off Warren Road between Uptown Road and Route 13. In Sapsucker Woods, we found very few of the birds that Bob reported, nor any of various other interesting finds that folks mentioned to us on the trail. But we did feel plenty gratified with excellent views of 10+ foraging RUSTY BLACKBIRDS in all plumages (most striking was a female still bearing very fresh feathers, including a completely russet back) in the deep puddles near the Wilson/West intersection. I think that a couple dozen more of this species could well have been present, as we heard their singing everywhere along the southwestern margin of the pond. We also saw a pair of NORTHERN WATERTHRUSHES attacking and ousting a mink. The waterthrushes stayed and foraged in peace together below our eye level for several minutes, merely 5 meters away, with the male pausing now and then to throw his head back and peal out a Woodleton-accented song.

[cayugabirds-l] Home Again
I arrived back in the Basin yesterday after a month in the field. And it seemed like a good morning to take a couple of walks. Birding today was like going out on January first - almost all of the birds were year birds for me. The trails at Sapsucker Woods produced a bundle of new birds: Eastern Phoebe (2), Yellow Warbler (4), Palm Warbler (2), Northern Waterthrush (3), Baltimore Oriole, Spotted Sandpiper, Least Flycatcher, Wood Thrush, Swamp Sparrow, and Rusty Blackbird. The Rusty was interesting. It was seen from the Sherwood Platform, displaying ( wings and tail spread) and calling. My second stop was the bottom of Leonard Road. A short walk up and back the road produced a number of singing birds: Brown Creeper (2), Black-throated Blue, Green, and Black-and-White Warblers, Ovenbird, Blue-Headed Vireo, and Swainson's Thrush (2). The Swainson's were foraging in the leaf litter alongside the road, giving a high-pitched whistle call. My main target there was Louisiana Waterthrush - which was surprisingly absent, or at least not singing today. The big surprise was that spring here is not further along. Honeysuckle in leaf, yes, and the willows are greening. But very little red showing on the maples. I guess that there's time still for a few new birds. And so, as I type, two White-crowned Sparrows are scratching under the feeder.
