This afternoon I heard a pileated woodpecker loudly drumming from our woods on 
Hunt Hill Rd, Dryden. Is it really only February 2??

[cayugabirds-l] Baltimore oriole at Treman Marina!

[marsha kardon]

At about 2pm we were watching a flock of at least 5 bluebirds in the trees
between the boat docks at Treman marina and the solar panels in the next
parking lot. Then a male Baltimore Oriole flew into the same trees and
allowed us excellent views of his beautiful plumage in the bright
sunlight.  After he flew deep into the evergreens along the driveway toward
Hangar Theater, we walked to Hogs Hole where we saw goldeneye, one gadwall,
common and hooded mergansers, black ducks and bufflehead.  In the distance
at Stewart Park, we could see a raft of redheads about the size of the raft
I'd seen at Hogs Hole several days ago.  We also saw Cedar Waxwings and
house finches in the Hawthorne trees by solar array.  Marsha and Fred
Kardon

[cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant Horned Lark singing

[Marie P. Read]

The plaintive voice of a singing Horned Lark wafted my way from somewhere in a 
corn stubble field at the eastern end of Mt Pleasant Rd, bringing delight to an 
otherwise pretty bird-free walk this afternoon. Did see a Red-tailed Hawk 
circling above, but little else.

I DID forget to post, though, that I saw my first Rough-legged Hawk of the 
"winter", flying over Rt 13 near the Ithaca airport last Saturday morning.

An odd season...

[cayugabirds-l] brown-headed cowbirds again--Hile School and Ed Hill Roads both

[AB Clark]

ABout 10 am, today 2 FEb 16, a brown-headed cowbird male was at my feeder and I 
thought I saw a small flock of them moving SE into the brushy areas around our 
house on Hile School Road…just out of the basin.  But these are birds, with 
wings.  At 330 pm today, several (or many) cowbird males flew ESE with a large 
flock of starlings, across Ed Hill Road, about 1/2 way between Hile School Road 
and Fall Creek Road i.e. “in the Basin”.  I assume that they probably included 
some of the same ones seen in the morning, ca 3/4 mi from there.

[cayugabirds-l] Spring calls in Fall Creek

[Sandy Wold]

A glorious chorus this morning: Carolina Wrens are back in my back yard
after having been away for several months, calling incessantly since 8am.
I heard one calling at a certain pitch and then it shifted to a half or
whole-note higher while the other one listened.  It made a second call too,
which was a very different rhythm.  Chickadees chasing each other and doing
the tee-hoo sound. Several robins calling and chasing each other.  Large
flock, about 10 juncos. Jays and cardinals have also returned to my
backyard after having been gone for about a month or so.  All of these
birds usually are daily birds among others in warmer seasons, but they do
go away for several weeks at a time in winter, and it is always such a
treat when they return!  I had grackles here two years ago for months
November 2014, not seen since.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Eastern Phoebe, Arts Quad

[Karen Steffy]

I wonder if there has been a Phoebe hanging around Cornell all winter?  I 
thought that I saw one in early December at Beebe Lake.  I wasn’t 100% sure, 
however, because it was backlit on a grey day, and all I could get was the tail 
bobbing as it kept flying farther away from me.  And, of course, I didn’t have 
binoculars with me.  A week or so later, I ran into someone who had also seen a 
Phoebe near the small footbridge (I think) on Beebe Lake.  (Hopefully, he’s on 
the list and can add his experience.)

Well, it's possible. The singer of the phoebe song was pretty physically 
distant from the starlings I saw and heard, and wasn't accompanied by any other 
bird vocalizations. And the song itself was completely convincing to me, for 
what it's worth.

I'll keep my ears open tomorrow and try to track it down if I hear it.

Yesterday morning at Sapsucker Woods, the starlings were doing kingbird and 
wood duck and meadowlark (among others, no doubt).
Meanwhile, there was legitimate singing from chickadee, titmouse, cardinal: 
sounded and felt like spring!

At 8:30 this morning in the Arts Quad at Cornell, heard an EASTERN PHOEBE sing 
one phrase of song. A few minutes later heard KILLDEER calls, but possible that 
these were from a nearby starling that was calling intermittently.

As much as I keep telling myself we may see some winter yet...

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bobcat!

[John Confer]

Awesome!

How disappointing that you didn't get a saw-whet. (Just joking)

Yesterday, I tried Thomas Rd for abut 1.5 hrs for screech and saw-whet and got 
a screech, but no bobcat. A lot of commute traffic starting at about 6:00.

I just returned from a nighttime walk in the Park Preserve (south portion) 
listening for saw-whet owl. No owl - but very much to my surprise I heard the 
call/scream of a bobcat. It came from the north,  just across the small stream 
that runs along the orange trail.

Bobcat? Here is one that I recorded several years ago outside of San Jose, CA. 
It’s the same call that I heard tonight.
