[cayugabirds-l] Barn Swallows

2019-05-04 Thread Bill McAneny
About 4 Barn Swallows arrived today at their traditional summer home in 
our barns.  We had begun to worry that we would not see them this year.


In past years we had taken down the previous year's nests, which did not 
seem to make any difference to the birds.  This year the old nests are 
still up.  Let's see what happens.



Bill and Shirley McAneny, TBurg

In case anyone is wondering, photo review of my possible philadelphia vireo
turned out to be a northern parula.

[cayugabirds-l] Warblers at Brookton Cemetery 8am

2019-05-04 Thread Susan Henne
After reading so many exciting bird posts in the last few days, I knew I
had to go out looking for warblers this am.  Right off of Lounsberry Rd
(Brooktondale) is the Brookton Cemetery which rises above rushing 6 Mile
Creek and is framed by a mature deciduous  forest.  High up in the maples I
saw 3-4 Golden-winged Warblers, 2 Hooded Warblers and several Yellow-rumped
Warblers.  On the way home, along the creek a Scarlet Tanager was feeding.
And to top off my lucky morning, a Cape May warbler was feeding in the
Norway Spruces in my yard.  Still is at 3:15pm.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Golden-winged Warbler Seneca Co

2019-05-04 Thread Alicia
If you go, note that ALL of this property is private.  Please bird only 
from the road and do not trespass!  The folks who own the land are very 
private and do not welcome strangers walking on it.  Plus there are no 
trails to follow and all the land around here is infested with deer 
ticks, so staying on the roads makes sense!

[cayugabirds-l] Sandhill Crane Ithaca

2019-05-04 Thread bob mcguire
I was just about to come in for lunch when I heard the unmistakable calling of 
a SANDHILL CRANE. I spotted the bird, almost overhead, flying NW. When it got 
over the Ithaca reservoir it circled several times then disappeared beyond the 
treeline, still headed NW. First for the yard for me!

blue-headed, and a sorta-yellow sorta-warblerish bird high in the tree that 
could be a Philadelphia video. May or may not have gotten lousy photos to check

[cayugabirds-l] Hummingbird and white-crowned sparrow

2019-05-04 Thread anneb . clark
An FOY hummingbird carefully (urgently?) foraging along my gooseberry bushes an 
hour ago so the FOY feeders are now out. Not sure if male or female. Distant 
and watched without binocs. 

Unexpected white-crowned sparrow under the feeders.

[cayugabirds-l] Blue-winged warbler

2019-05-04 Thread khmo
Our feeders are so loaded with Pine Siskins, Purple Finch, Rose-breasted
Grosbeaks, Red-breasted Nuthatch,White Throats, Chippies and others that
it almost feels like the ADK.

Yesterday morning we had a singing Blue-winged Warbler among the new
arrivals. The BWWAs have been breeders here for many years. The RBNUs
for the last few years.
