[cayugabirds-l] Eastern kingbird. Ithaca country club
At about 10 am an eastern kingbird was hawking insects (assumed) from tips of white pine crowns in woods between Pleasant Grove road and the country club proper, until chased off by a nesting crow which has a nest very near to its activity.

[cayugabirds-l] White Pelican
My neighbor who lives a few houses south reported that at about 9:30 am today she saw a WHITE PELICAN flying north over Cayuga Lake. She noticed the black trailing edges on the wings and the long yellow bill on the large white bird. Said she couldn't believe her eyes, but it was a pelican! Too bad I was not looking at the lake at that time. Donna Scott Donna L.

[cayugabirds-l] Last Bird
Well all my regulars have finally arrived here in Auburn. A male RTH Hummingbird just showed up at the feeder. Yesterday I had a surprise visit of a 10 member flock of Pine Siskins. I have both sexes of RB Grosbeaks. Got pictures of the female Grosbeak and P Finch on both sides of the feeder. Now I’ll be able to tell them apart. A Catbird and House Wren finally showed up Friday. I have two pair of P Finches which I hope will stay. They were around all winter. I have large numbers of WTH Sparrows and WC Sparrows. I really appreciate having so many birds coming to my feeders since I’m stuck at home after a hip operation. They are better entertainment than screens.

[cayugabirds-l] Yellow-Throated Warbler in southwest part of Ovid this afternoon
At 12:45 this afternoon, a Yellow-Throated Warbler, which had spent the last 5 minutes in clear view working over a bare walnut tree about 20' away from me, flew off to the north. It has not been refound and although there is a fair amount of warbler chatter on our property today (mostly Yellow-Rumps), I suspect it has moved on. This is the third time in 11 years that we briefly have hosted at YT warbler, and the one seen by Dave Kennedy earlier this year was just over 3 miles north of us along the Seneca Lake shoreline, so while it was a delightful surprise, it was not unprecedented. My theory is that they continue to wend their way northward along the lake shore which, if true, means that Willard WMA, Bonavista Golf Course, and the Lakeshore Trail of Sampson State Park (where Dave Kennedy found his bird) all are possible places it could be headed. If anyone is birding those places this evening or tomorrow morning, you might want to keep an eye out for it.

[cayugabirds-l] Radar: migration + rain = fallout?
I see, as I get ready for work well before dawn, that the radar shows both migration, and in parts of the region, light rain which can cause migrants to quit migrating when they hit it. Maybe there will be some migrant fall out. - - Dave Nutter -- 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/ --
