Re:[cayugabirds-l] Red-headed Woodpecker at Myers

2021-06-10 Thread Kevin C Packard
Thank you, John for reporting this.  I visited Myers this evening (5-6:30pm) 
and the woodpecker was still there, calling actively and flying around the 
trees right where you describe it.

 Cheers,


 Kevi

Stuart Krasnoff and I found one adult Red-headed Woodpecker around 12:30 today 
calling and working on enlarging a hole about 50 ft up in a dead trunk of a 
tree facing the private marina at Myers.  Here’s my ebird report with some 
photos and description of location, and with Stuart’s audio recording of calls.

[cayugabirds-l] Moving a Robin nest?

2021-06-10 Thread William Baker
I have a work vehicle that I haven’t moved in almost 2 weeks.  In that time 
pair of Robins have decided to nest on top of one of the front tires.There are 
already 3 eggs in the nest.  I need to use the vehicle both days this weekend. 
Does anyone have any suggestions about moving the nest?  I am thinking of 
creating a similar scenario right nest to the current location. A covered box 
with a shelf at the same height as the nest is now and putting it just to one 
side of the tire with the nest on it. I can maneuver my vehicle without hitting 
the box later etc.

What are the odds of this working? 

Thanks for any thoughts
Bill Baker

[cayugabirds-l] FW: Armitage rd by the big barn

2021-06-10 Thread Johnson, Alyssa
I retract my Grasshopper Sparrow sighting ☹

Upon a conversation with Chris at the Audubon Center this morning and 
re-listening (and not being super excited at a “lifer” and blinded by 
excitement) I agree with him, they were Savannahs. They sound super similar (to 
me), and Chris shared a helpful mnemonic with me that I hadn’t learned before, 
for the SAVS: sa-sa-sa-sa VAN-NAH. The difference that I could pick out with 
GRSP is that they do not have that last syllable, the “NAH”. Still, very buzzy 
and insect-like.

Critical thinking, Alyssa!

I am working on uploading a video to eBird, but have to convert from iMovie to 
mp4.

Just goes to show, even birders who work for Audubon, get things wrong 
sometimes 

Grasshopper sparrows galore! Bobolinks singing! 13-15 Sandhill Cranes. Very 
cool spot- in the middle of the fields by the big wooden barn.
