[cayugabirds-l] Red-headed Woodpecker at Palmer Woods
Sorry for the late post, I just realized this hadn't made it to Cayugabirds. This morning David Weber found an adult RED-HEADED WOODPECKER in Palmer Woods on north campus. He first had it fly over, then it returned to some dead trees and was present for at least an hour after that. This was in the low swampy area along Pleasant Grove Brook well north of A-Lot, probably at least audible (it was calling frequently) from the east end of Sheldon Road or from Pleasant Grove Lane. -- 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/ --

[cayugabirds-l] Nighthawks
This evening Pat and I were delivering groceries to her 95 year old mother, who's recovering from temporal arteritis. We left her place on Triphammer Road at 7:15, stopped at Sunset Park to see if we could spot any Nighthawks from there, then zipped down to the RTJ golf course. We parked near the lodge and took stations along the post-and-rail fence where we could see lots of sky. Various people stopped and asked about what we were looking for (the Audubon Field Guide app is such a great resource to have in one's pocket for answering questions like that!) At about 7:40 I spotted one Nighthawk far away over Lighthouse Woods. Another birder came by a couple minutes later, but left before I got his name. Five minutes later there were seven Nighthawks over our heads. I wrote a quick email notice (I always have email access in my pocket, but no texting). Soon the birds headed over toward the Fire Training Tower, Fall Creek and Renwick Wood, so we drove over there, and enjoyed at least nine Nighthawks foraging at treetop level - great views! They all disappeared by 8:00 pm. -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/ --
RE: [cayugabirds-l] Nighthawks
I also saw one Nighthawk over the hills from Jennings Pond looking northwards. It flew in its erratic way but soon disappeared among the vegetation of the woods. I also saw an Indigo Bunting, two Pileated Woodpeckers and several Cedar Waxwings and Barn Swallows and an Eastern KIngbird was heard. I saw lots and lots of Vesper Bluets and enjoyed watching them till dusk!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Nighthawks
I sought Common Nighthawks from 6:35 to about 8pm. I was hoping to see them from my yard but I think the surrounding trees have grown up too much impeding the low-altitude views of the flats. Anyway, that was a bust, even though I saw up to 9 of them far to the NNE while scoping from the NYS-89 bridge over the Flood Control Channel. Sometimes they rose high enough to be seen against the sky above Cayuga Heights, but mostly they were tough to see against trees of East Hill or The Flats. There also were lots of gulls (probably Ring-billed, I estimated at least 30) apparently hawking insects but within a more contained area and lower, I assumed over the lower reaches of Cascadilla Creek but I couldn't be sure. The first nighthawk I saw was at about 6:50 and the last 2 (from the bike path a bit farther north and against the sky) at 7:44pm. --Dave Nutter On Aug 25, 2014, at 10:18 PM, Meena Madhav Haribal m...@cornell.edu wrote: I also saw one Nighthawk over the hills from Jennings Pond looking northwards.
