[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club at Migration Celebration

[Jody W Enck]

Hello Cayuga Birders,

By now, you’ve all seen the notices of Migration Celebration happening at the 
Lab of Ornithology on Saturday the 17th of September.  The Cayuga Bird Club 
will be hosting a Club table at the Celebration.  If you are willing to help 
out by sitting at the table and answering any basic questions about the Club 
that day (for a two-hour shift), please email me as soon as possible.

Many Club members will be participating in the Muckrace up at Montezuma 
National Wildlife Refuge that day, so we need as many helpers to be at 
Migration Celebration as possible.

Thanks in advance, and see you at the Club meeting on Monday the 12th.

Jody

[cayugabirds-l] Assisting banding saw-whets

[John Confer]

Don't get me wrong, I love warblers. But, tired of trying to see if the bottom 
of the foot of a warbler in the top of a fully-leafed tree is flesh colored or 
dark. Shorebirds, too, are really great. But, tired of trying to see if the 
beak is straight or slightly down-curved when the bird itself is so far away 
you can barely see it?
How would you like to see a bird so close that you have to use your reading 
glasses? Consider assisting a banding project for migratory Northern Saw-whet 
Owls. Banding will extend from 2 October to 13 November on nights with suitable 
weather. This spans 8 weeks, but suitable weather occurs on about 6 out of 8 
nights. Participants might come out on the same night of the week, or about 6 
nights out of the 8 weeks.  Please contact John Confer at 
con...@ithaca.edu for further information.

Hoot,

John

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Morgan Road Red-necked Phalarope. Muckrace Flats water

[Michael Tetlow]

   Yesterday afternoon Dominc Sherony and I birded the area and found the
Red-necked Phalarope all the way to the north end of the dike 200 yards into
the cove looking SW. The other highlight was 2 White-rumped Sandpipers.

   Tuesday they began adding water to the occasionally productive Muckrace
Flats on the south side of Savannah-Spring-Lake Road just west of Morgan
Road-no birds yet. They have almost finished a new overlook platform at the
Martens Tract

The visitor center had 40ish Lesser Yellowlegs and good numbers of
Pintail, Shoveler and both Teal.

A Merlin taking a dust bath on the wildlife drive was a nice surprise. A
young Virginia rail  was calling opposite laRues in the late afternoon heat
with mom and dad(2 different birds) grunting back occasionally.  Mike Tetlow

[Marie P. Read]

While I was watching the goldfinch families at my feeder this morning, a 
heavily-streaked little bird with yellowish wing bars caught my eye: a Pine 
Siskin!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Imm northern goshawk

[John and Sue Gregoire]

Thanks for the clarification Dave; the AOU gives us enough changes to worry 
over and
now trail names! ;-). Appreciate the detail Josh and the additional sighting 
Alicia.
All of that is well in the area of a known nesting area. I'm hopeful it/they are
local young of the year. Here, we have had a slow but steady flow of sharpies 
and
coops.
