RE: [cayugabirds-l] Red-headed Woodpecker at Fairhaven SP
Good Morning, Sorry to attach to Michael's email but, I am new to the list. I would greatly appreciate some help and advice. I am planning a trip to Chicago in very early November. I am considering driving so I can stop and do some birding. Can someone advise as to what are the best places to bird along the way? I have looked at the Indiana Audubon site but I was just able to obtain a list of sites not attached to a map (was not working). Even with the map and site list I am hoping someone educated in the impact of migration on these sites. Bottom line, where should I stop or is it too late in the migration? Thanks so much. Marc C.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Red-headed Woodpecker at Fairhaven SP
Hello Marc, One idea is to check out eBird. Go to Explore a Region (choose a state or even a county within a state along your route), and you'll get a map with stick pins showing hotspots where people have been reporting checklists. Alternatively, if you have some target birds you want to try to see, go to Find a Species, and type in the name of the bird. You'll get a map with stickpins showing where that species has been reported. You can narrow your search by date. For example, just choose the current month, and the map will show sites where the species has been reported in just this calendar month for this year. Hope that helps.

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods Weekend Bird walk reports.
I thought people might be interested in reading these. The leaders write up these reports each week and they are posted on the Cayugabirdclub.org website under About us, and then field trips. Hope you enjoy. I plan on posting them each week, as long as this is okay with the list administrator. Linda Orkin Reports from this past weekend's beginner bird walks led by Cayuga Bird Club Members. *Saturday from Lisa Wood*. 22 participants. Big group today, so I was grateful for help from CBC member Donna Coventry Wray, who’s been on many, many of these walks and is a multiple-year SFO alumna. A few “townies” were mixed in with the many visitors. We had several memorable experiences in the 2.5 hours it took us to get all the way around the Wilson Trail. First, we had good looks at a silent Yellow Warbler pair foraging in full sun near the Owens Platform boardwalk. From the platform itself, we watched a long and daring (and comical) “tightrope“ walk by a Green Heron across a section of the wire above the pond. From the Sherwood Platform, everyone enjoyed watching Eastern Kingbirds feeding busily and noisily above the lily pads. Having seen a Great Crested Flycatcher earlier, we declared it a flycatcher day when, by the pergola, we were repeatedly “buzzed” by a brave little Eastern Phoebe. The bird first flew from the island over to the shore and perched above us, quite close. That was a nice treat, but then it actually flew to a couple of us, close to our faces and above our heads/hats—close enough that those of us in the front couldn’t help but flinch. Evidently the bird was after the mosquitoes that were after us! It successfully caught prey several times while we stood there—what a thrill for all of us! *And Sunday from Paul Anderson* 10 participants.I had ten people show up: a group of six students from Colombia, a couple from New Jersey and a two ladies from Binghamton. There was a lot to see, even if little of it was unusual. Many juveniles of many species were out begging. We saw more flycatchers - mostly Phoebes - than I've ever seen on one of these walks. The mosquitoes were voracious. An early highlight was a Green Heron on the main pond, but everybody's favorite was a group of three baby Wood Ducks. -- Veganism is simply the acknowledgment that a replaceable and fleeting pleasure isn't more valuable than someone's life and liberty. ~ Unknown If you permit this evil, what is the good of the good of your life? -Stanley Kunitz... -- 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] Sapsucker Woods Weekend Bird walk reports.
Speaking of compliant Phoebes, I walked to Sherwood Platform at lunch and met (first time) a visitor/birder from NYC. As he was turning to leave and I was approaching, I spotted a Phoebe on the hand rail and pointed it out to him. It was 5’ away. Then it hopped to a closer post and eventually to about 3’ from us. We remarked that it must be a juvenile though it was in full feather. Then it landed on the floor of the platform in the hot sun and spread its wings and squashed its belly down, opened its mouth and started sunning. We had to walk around it (!) to get back to the rail to look for herons and kingbirds, etc. It finally flew into the bushes at its own good time. I have often thought of tethering a flycatcher to my hat to ward off mosquitoes...

[cayugabirds-l] AWESOME WINTER WREN!
Hi all, As I continued working during lunch hours I decided to take a break of 20 minutes and head to Mundy. I heard the Winter wren singing, so I decided to track him down to have a good look. I found in company of two families of six Northern Flickers and six Blue Jays and other birds all picking up something form the ground. May be ants or moths I did not see anything. As good luck held for me, I had lovely lng good look at him for about 15 minutes and that extended my walk to 35 minutes! He merrily looked for insects along variety of surfaces and locations at one point he was just 6 feet away from me poking along the water's edge. Then he stood on top of a log and sang. By the time my brain worked and I fished out my cell phone to record him, I just could snatch a little bit of his song then he stopped but continued feeding. This is the first time ever I have looked at a Winter Wren so close without binoculars so long! As I walked away from him he started singing again and continued till I left Mundy! I did not see his family so probably he is single but has been on and off advertising. Hopefully next year he will find a mate and make Mundy as his home! I also had lots of dragonflies in one of the retention ponds mostly skimmers chasing each other and some were mated.
