Re: [cayugabirds-l] New birds (for me anyway) at Salt Point.
yes, that Mockingbird is a virtuoso- when he's really geared up , so many songs go by so fast that it is bewildering. And he doesn't only do the showy songsters, his Willow Flycatcher imitation is just about perfect! But Marie knows him well, and his Wood Thrush isn't his best rendition. --John On 6/11/2015 11:40 AM, Gary Kohlenberg wrote: I had to smile at you hesitance with the Wood Thrush because on May 9th I recorded a Northern Mockingbird at Salt Point singing the best series of imitations I've ever heard.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Yellow-billed cuckoo SSW
Hi all, A (I’m assume the same) YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO was singing this morning at about 7:30 AM to the west of the main pond at the Lab of O, somewhere to the west of the intersection of Wilson Trail North (just south of where the trail meets the side of the pond) and the West Trail (that heads to the Winston Court apartments). The bird was loud enough to be heard from several hundred meters away, as I was walking to work through the woods. The song was as linked from the Macaulay Library’s collection.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] injured heron (alleged) was taken to vet's
I'm sure I can speak for all of us when I give a hearty THANK YOU to Kevin for his compassion. It's a heartbreaking story, but I am relieved that the poor creature is no longer suffering.

As I drove there I wondered what a heron was doing down in an apartment complex. But when I found building seven I looked up and saw the big power lines and I knew what to expect. Sure enough, when I drove up there was an adult heron lying panting on the ground with a horribly broken wing. The wing was pointing the wrong direction, and was covered in blood and flies. It was a classic power line strike with severely broken wing. It's almost always fatal and undoubtedly extremely painful I caught the bird quickly with as little stress as possible (for both of us; herons are big and potentially dangerous birds). I took it to the Cornell vet school's wildlife clinic where it was examined, anesthetized, and humanely euthanized, as I knew it would have to be. The wing was held on only by skin and was far beyond repair. The poor bird was in shock and obviously a lot of pain. I surmise that the heron struck the power lines in the fog in the morning. It was apparently flying full speed into the fog because it broke some ribs as well as it's wing, poor thing. I checked its feet and found both back toes present. So, who ever this heron was, it was not the male who was breeding on camera at the Lab the last few years.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] New birds (for me anyway) at Salt Point.
I had to smile at you hesitance with the Wood Thrush because on May 9th I recorded a Northern Mockingbird at Salt Point singing the best series of imitations I've ever heard. I actually removed a couple birds from my eBird list when I watched the Mockingbird singing perfect renditions. He was doing better N. Cardinal songs than the nearby dueling Cardinal.
