[cayugabirds-l] Another Whip-poor-will
I’m outside my house watching a couple of big brown bats this evening, and suddenly a Whip-poor -will has started singing! First time here since the late ‘90s. Still going! -Geo Sent from my iPhone -- 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/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Toads and Cuckoos
Despite the predation by Crows, who hunted them in the tall grass at the water’s edge, lots of toads succeeded in leaving long strings of eggs in my pond, and today the jellied strings have opened to release tiny, tiny tadpoles. Even tinier (3mm long) are the just-hatched forest caterpillars (eastern tent, I think). Hundreds of them are walking on my porch railing under a big sugar maple. All this food for Cuckoos! And right on cue, a Black-billed Cuckoo, tripli-cooing off in the woods. I found two singing Canada Warblers this morning along the brook below my place on the western edge of the L-P Preserve, where they have nested in the past. Hope they’ll do it again, as I missed the confirmation during last year’s Atlas effort. -Geo -- 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/ --
[cayugabirds-l] White-faced Ibis, Montezuma NWR
I just found an adult WHITE-FACED IBIS on the Main Pool of Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge (Seneca Co.), about halfway along the first stretch of drive, flying around frequently but currently still here. Also present are a continuing Glossy Ibis, a pair of Wilson's Phalaropes, and other expected shorebirds.
