RE:[cayugabirds-l] Thrush flight

[Meena Madhav Haribal]

I listened to about 30 minutes till the rain became too loud. Swainson's 
Thrushes were going continuously, some were very low. Several Grey Cheeked 
thrushes, I think there were probably some Indigo Buntings or sparrows of some 
sort, which seem to be coming in constantly too but not as frequent as 
Swainson's .  Then I also heard a Yellow-billed Cuckoo and a Black-billed 
cuckoo. Coyotes howling in a distant. Then there were some birds, which sounded 
familiar but I cant place them. When rain approached the birds seemed to have 
come lower down. 
Right when I started listening there was a train which was passing Ithaca 
downtown so kept honking every few seconds for at least 10 minutes and there 
were so many cars passing by even at this time of the day. But in spite of all 
that I enjoyed listening to the birds overhead. I did get some recordings of 
some very low flying birds. 

It is such a fun while waiting copying 83.4 G of photos to passport drive!

Cheers

There is an insane number of thrushes passing over Northeast Ithaca right now- 
my biggest spring flight I think. Over 80 Swainsons and 30 Gray-cheeked in the 
first 20 minutes if listening.

Fantastic flight! Thanks Ken for alerting us! I came in to get a chair so that 
I can listen for some more time!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Etna, NY - Night Flight 5/26-5/27

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

Lot's of Spotted Sandpiper calls in Etna, as well. Though, the proximity of my 
microphone to Fall Creek makes for discerning possible local birds from 
migrants rather difficult.

Sincerely,
Chris

I did a very fast browse through my overnight sound data, early this morning.

2 Black-billed Cuckoos
2 Indigo Buntings
1 Alder Flycatcher
15+ Gray-cheeked Thrushes (estimated)
65-75+ Swainson's Thrushes (estimated)

Also, I stopped in at the Hawthorn Orchard this morning for about 45 minutes. 
Extremely quiet. Though, I was surprised to hear two distinctly different Wood 
Thrushes singing: one down in the North ravine, where I've been periodically 
hearing one; a second one was singing up in the Hawthorn Orchard in the 
Northeast corner. Both were counter-singing. Of note, House Wrens seem 
distinctly absent compared to pass years at the Hawthorn Orchard.

Good birding!

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma etc.

Sure enough: Dave Nutter reports a RED KNOT at Armitage Road this morning,
as well as a RED-NECKED PHALAROPE at Carncross.

[cayugabirds-l] First blue Damselfly & other firsts

[John and Fritzie Blizzard]

A blue Damselfly was hovering (?) next to my back door Sun. evening, my 
1st of the spring.=-O >:o

Becky was working in the garden when she saw a Balto. Oriole fly into 
the ash tree at the end of the garden. Sharp eyes  !!!  found 
the new nest amidst a thick clump of leaves. I fear the gray rats will 
be able to get to it. We've had orioles for many yrs. here but have 
never seen a nest.

The 1st box of tree swallows hatched right on schedule yesterday.:-) 
Three to go.

Bluebirds pulled a fast one on the house sparrows. They found the hole 
in the dead limb of an ash tree that the downy woodpeckers had used last 
yr. and aren't being harassed for once.

The secretive catbird flies from one hedgerow to another, yr. after yr., 
but I never find its nest. Same with the mockingbirds. Chipping sparrows 
are somewhere in the big spruce near my BR. They and a chickadee come to 
glean insects from the crab apple outside my BR window.

Becky heard ospreys calling on Sun. as she worked in our garden. Sharp 
eyes as well a good hearing! They were very high in the sky, flying 
westward towards the lake. One left the others and came back our way.

John spotted a green heron on the "mat" on Mill pond last wk. as we came 
from Auburn. We also continue to see the lone male redhead & 2 male 
mallards on Mill pond.

Gas was $3.64.9 here in Union Springs on 23 May 2014.

Have a great, short work wk.!

Fritzie
