[cayugabirds-l] Orioles

2019-05-15 Thread Carol Keeler
It’s certainly been a year for Orioles.  I have at least three males and two 
females.  The surprise today was having two Orchard Orioles show up.  One is a 
female.  The male looks like a first summer male in Sibley.  They like the 
oranges and grape jelly so maybe they will stay around.

[cayugabirds-l] Frontenac Island Cormorants - can't we coexist?

2019-05-15 Thread Sandy
Let's not vilify the cormorants, and strive to co-exist! Cayuga Lake is
enormous; so I find it hard to believe cormorants would deplete a fish
population. The eagle and osprey populations have been growing greatly
around the lake, so I don't think it would be fair for fishermen to blame a
supposed fish depletion on the cormorants. There could be other causes too.

I have enjoyed watching the cormorant rookery in Jetty Woods for the past
six(?) years. Before them, I recall when the Great Blue Herons had a
rookery there. Do we know 100% for sure that this is a cormorant population
explosion or could it be a temporary relocation that might last only a few
years? I've seen grackles nest around my home for a few years in a row,
then they are gone for a few years. I've seen this cycle for the past six
years with them and other species. I think it is a survival strategy to
keep predators guessing. Once the nests have been attacked too many times,
they relocate. I know I would!

And, yes, they poop and pee everywhere; and while the odor was not pleasant
at times, I did not observe any harm to vegetation at Jetty Woods as a
result.

Let's co-existpeace!
Sandy

[cayugabirds-l] Orange-crowned Warbler at Hawthorn Woods

2019-05-15 Thread Gary Kohlenberg
Chris Wood and Grant found a singing Orange-crowned Warbler in the Hawthorns at 
the NW corner hedgerow. I was able to hear it singing its descending trill as I 
walked up by the softball field. 
Suan and I saw a dull plain Warbler briefly in the same area, that may possibly 
be the singer.

[cayugabirds-l] Etna: Tennessee Warbler

2019-05-15 Thread Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes
Tennessee Warblers are probably working their way through the area now. Heard a 
single bird singing its loud, three-parted, metallic song this morning as it 
moved through the trees in our yard and into our neighbor’s back yard.

Sincerely,
Chris

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Orioles

2019-05-15 Thread Sally Eller
We had 3 or 4 Orioles at our feeders yesterday. They were enjoying the
hummingbird feeders and devoured an orange. Hope they are still here today!

Also, had hummingbirds on the 10th.

After a slow start the Baltimore Orioles are entertaining us at our feeders 
here in Lansing.  What appears to be 2 pair seem to prefer the hummingbird 
feeder and peanuts. We’ll put out fruit or jam later today.
