[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club meeting and speaker dinner Sept. 14, 2015

[cl...@juno.com]

The Cayuga Bird Club will be meeting on Monday, September 14, at 7:30 at the 
Cornell Lab of Ornithology with cookies and coversation at 7:15. Our speaker 
will be John W. Fitzpatrick, Louis Agassiz Fuertes Director of the Cornell Lab 
of Ornithology. His presentation is entitled, "To Interpret and Conserve: After 
100 years, what has Cornell Lab of Ornithology come to mean?"

As part of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s centennial celebration and as 
the Lab’s director, John Fitzpatrick, will explore what has changed, what 
has flourished, and what’s to come within the unique Lab founded by 
Arthur Allen and colleagues in 1915. Moving beyond history, this seminar looks 
ahead to the challenges faced by the Lab and everyone who cares about nature. 
We must regard our first hundred years as a “trial run”—an 
experiment that has proven itself worthy of another hundred-year run, but this 
time the expectations—our measures of success—will be far more 
stringent, and the stakes are far higher as we work to help save the 
earth’s birds and biodiversity. Members are invited to dinner with the 
Fitzpatricks before the meeting at 5:30 at Taste of Thai Express (Rt. 13N 
downtown) . Please RSVP by noon Monday to cl...@juno.com so reservations can be 
made.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] a mystery---goldfinchs

[Kathleen P Kramer]

Several years ago, I posted to Cayugabirds-L about seeing a chipmunk kill an 
adult female cardinal. The chipmunk and the cardinal were feeding, apparently 
companionably, on the ground beneath my dad’s bird feeder. Suddenly, the 
chipmunk lunged at the cardinal and grasped her in his/her mouth by the head. 
The cardinal flopped wildly from side to side, trying to escape. We ran 
outside, not able to repress that desire to save the bird, even knowing that as 
Rob says, “Nature is messy.”

The chipmunk ran off, scolding loudly, but we were too late to help the 
cardinal. Her neck was broken. We had to go away from the house on an errand, 
so we placed the dead cardinal on a nearby stump. When we came back a short 
time later, the cardinal was gone. We know she didn’t leave under her own 
power, so the answer probably is that the chipmunk came back and dragged her 
away. Or perhaps a cat that wasn’t kept inside took her.  Pretty dramatic 
example of how predatory these little bundles of muscle really are.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] a mystery---goldfinchs

I've been watching some inexplicable behavior (to me) by 1 or 2 goldfinches 
nesting in my yard.  There are 2 parts.

Part 1:  2 weeks ago I noticed a female goldfinch perching in bushes along the 
front of the house, then flying toward the upper lefthand corner of a large 
double-hung window, hovering for a second, then flying against the glass.  This 
was late afternoon and she repeated the behavior a dozen times.  I would scare 
her away, but she returned after several minutes.   Night fell and she 
desisted.  At 0700 next morning she was at it again.
I tightly closed the inside curtains.  No effect.  I then hung a painter's 
dropcloth over the whole window on the outside.  This stopped her briefly, but 
she then moved to the upper lefthand corner of an adjacent window (same size 
and shape, but 4' away) and continued.  I put a dropcloth over that window 
also.  I have 2 other identical windows in the second story over these, but she 
did not go up there, thankfully.   I didn't see her the rest of the day.  Next 
morning I took the cloths down and she did not reappear.

Part 2:  The last several days, I have seen a goldfinch flying repeatedly into 
the top (40' up) of a large sugar maple in our side yard.  Nest, I figured.   
About an hour ago, my daughter found a headless baby bird, still warm, on the 
ground under the tree.  The neck was still present, although skinless, the head 
gone except for the very bottom edge of it, apparently cleanly removed.  She 
called me out to look, and as we did so, another baby dropped onto the roof of 
her car.  Blood was still flowing from the point where the neck attaches to the 
body, but both head and neck were gone.  No other damage visible.
  Both babies have rudimentary wing feathers and patches of fuzz here and 
there.  At this time also, an adult goldfinch could be heard vocalizing from 
above in the tree.  Shortly thereafter, a female adult was seen moving about 
among the goldenrod and other weed heads below the tree and picking out seeds.  
She was also vocalizing (prob. same bird) initially, but stopped after a couple 
minutes.

Ideas welcome.

[cayugabirds-l] No Ruddy turnstone but nice mix: eBird Report - Montezuma NWR--Wildlife Drive, Sep 8, 2015

[Michael Tetlow]

Sorry to post late but here is Dominic's ebird report from our trip yesterday. 
Eaton marsh was way better than Knox or Puddlers' tiny numbers of 18 Killdeer,1 
 Least and 4 Pectoral  Sandpipers and 1 Greater Yellowlegs.  Hopefully that was 
due to the Peregrine and Harrier hunting there and not the shrinking mudflats.

[cayugabirds-l] Brewster's Warbler at Salt Point

[Benjamin Freeman]

The bird popped up in response to pishing in thickets near Salmon Creek.
Along the main gravel trail at Salt Point, halfway between the railroad
tracks and the point. Grayish-white bird, with yellow on cap and a smudge
of yellow on its breast. Seen briefly but well before it disappeared back
into the shrubbery. Nice to see this neat hybrid.

Also Least Sandpipers and Semipalmated Plovers on the gravel bars in Salmon
Creek, and a Philadelphia Vireo in a titmouse/chickadee flock.

[cayugabirds-l] Common Yellowthroat singing

[Melanie Uhlir]

I am new to Fall birding. I usually find the approach of Autumn 
crushingly depressing, so I don't know how common it is for migrating 
species to sing. A Common Yellowthroat was just "Witchity"-ing in my 
yard in South Freeville. Typical behavior? The species nests on our 
property each year. Would it be our local male singing or more likely a 
migrant moving through? Does the day length sometimes trigger their 
springtime hormones?


I apologize if these are stupid questions.

[cayugabirds-l] Kentucky Warbler, Cornell Plantations

[Jay McGowan]

A KENTUCKY WARBLER found by Luke Seitz at dusk last night near the overlook
at the F.R. Newman Arboretum was seen briefly again this morning, but so
far additional attemps to relocate it are proving fruitless. It may still
be in the area, on the hillsides overlooking the ponds.
