[cayugabirds-l] Starry Blue Jays

2014-09-23 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal 
As Anne Marie noted  quite a few Blue Jays were migrating throughout the day. 
May be they got cue from the equinox?? But the best part was while I waiting 
for my bus around 4.49 pm, I looked up in the sky there were about 80+ 
migrating Blue Jays.   The height at which they were migrating and their wing 
flutter and the whiteness underside with the sun at low angle had effect of 
shining stars in the blue sky. They passed overhead as two groups of birds.



Then I also observed two Monarchs fly slight to the southwesterly direction 
than the blue Jays. Later when I came home and looked up at the map, I found it 
seems it is better for the monarchs to go more westerly direction than the Blue 
Jays if they are to reach Mexico! Today on the whole I observed five migrating 
monarchs. I was most of the time in the lab today with no windows. So there may 
have been more passing by!



Also I did take a short Mundy walk where I found a Palm Warbler and a Tennessee 
Warbler flying together and followed each other most of the time I watched.



Cheers

Re: [cayugabirds-l] injured banded pigeon

2014-09-23 Thread Dave Bulatek & Teresa Wagner Bulatek 
The person who called Lab of O yesterday is back in town today, and we just 
tried to find it - he had an appt he could not miss yesterday so told me about 
it.  Can't find it right now, but Victoria described how to catch it and where 
to take it, so I have a towel and box ready if it appears again today or 
tomorrow.

  I have spoken with this gentleman and offered to send him to the Vet School.  
He just wanted to "do the right thing" to let someone know and didn't want to 
take it any further.  I passed his concern to Victoria Campbell who was looking 
into it.  Thank you.

  There is a multi-colored pigeon walking along West Northview Rd, off 
Coddington, banded, can't seem to fly but quite tame.  It was here yesterday, 
barely walking according to the person who saw it yesterday.  I couldn't find 
it when I got home yesterday, and he called the Lab of O and was told his 
message would be passed along to someone.

   

  It is still here.  I have a pic of it if someone wants me to text it to them. 
 Not sure what else to do.

[cayugabirds-l] Google's logo today

2014-09-23 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal 
The fall logo with leaf falling on the bird reminds me of Red-headed 
Woodpecker. Does anyone else also think the same?

I think it is drawn from the RH Woodpecker photo.

[cayugabirds-l] Park Preserve warblers this morning

2014-09-23 Thread Anne Marie Johnson 
I was at the Finger Lakes Land Trust's Park Preserve in Freeville for about 
an hour this morning, starting at 8:45. It was mostly quiet except for the 
stretch of brushy habitat along the brook (heading left on the orange trail 
as you enter the preserve). In this area on the way in I found four PALM 
WARBLERS foraging on both sides of the trail, and on the way out there was 
a CAPE MAY WARBLER mostly foraging in the conifers.


This stretch of trail also had at least two COMMON YELLOWTHROATS, one of 
which sang occasionally; two EASTERN TOWHEES counter calling; a SONG 
SPARROW singing occasionally; as well as CATBIRDS, ROBINS, and CHICKADEES.


While in the preserve, I saw several groups of 5-6 BLUE JAYS moving south.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Northern Wheatear

2014-09-23 Thread tigger64 
Jim Tarolli and I were there Monday just before sunset and the bird was feeding 
in the backyard of the house and invisible to the naked eye (and inconspicuous 
generally).  


If you're standing roughly across from the old silo, sweep right and look to 
the back edge of the cut area.  There is a an old red mailbox post with a white 
mailbox on it, and an old red metal chair (the flash of red is visible to the 
naked eye).  Last night the bird was feeding in the cut area in front of those. 
 It is about 125 yards from the road and is inconspicuous in binoculars but can 
be seen well in the scope.  Some left/right movement on the road may give a 
better view.
