FW: [cayugabirds-l] Murder most Fowl - Saturday 5/30

[Rosalie V Borzik]

Are there any mink in the area?  (possible if there is a stream or other body 
of water nearby; I’ve seen mink in and around Virgil Creek in Freeville)

Mink often kill and cache, but on the Maine seabird islands they also leave 
incubating tern adults on the nest after they’ve killed them with a single bite 
to the back of the neck.

I didn’t catch the original emails about this, but after reading the latter 
part of the conversation, my mind flashed back to seeing “killing fields” left 
in a nesting tern colony.

Thanks Andrew,
I copied below the response I just received from Jenny Landry at DEC.
She has kindly forwarded my email to Region 7 for a possible follow up and/or 
collection.

Gary,

The behavior you describe sounds a bit like botulism and perhaps there was some 
predation. I seems  too early in the season for Type E (and even C), although 
we did have a short spell of very hot weather. I am not that familiar with the 
location. I am forwarding your email to the Wildlife Manager in Region 7.  It 
sounds like there are a handful of birds and it has been fairly cool the last 
few days. If the birds are still there, accessible, and in decent condition, 
the Region 7 folks may want try to collect some for our pathology folks to 
examine.

Any dead wildlife in New York State can be submitted to the NYS wildlife health

needs to be done through the DEC.  Details can be found here:

The regional DEC office will be able to provide more information.  I must 
stress that picking up dead wildlife should be avoided by members of the 
public.  Many animals harbor zoonotic diseases, some of which can still be 
transmitted to humans even after death. Report the mallards to the DEC regional 
office and they will take it from there.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] B. Orioles & White-crowned Sparrows

[Rosalie V Borzik]

Yesterday and this morning, a Baltimore Oriole feasted on the Blue Seal 
Woodpecker Mix (sunflower hearts, safflower, peanut chips) in one of our 
hardware cloth peanut feeders.  Thus far, no indication it has dined on the cut 
oranges impaled on sticks in the front yard.

FYI:  a small flock (5-6) of White-crowned Sparrows have been around for the 
last two or three weeks, feeding regularly with White-throated Sparrows in my 
front yard.  A few were singing this morning.  Stop by and check out the 
feeding area under the maple tree (the one that the woodpeckers are 
disassembling) at the corner of Johnson & Willow in Freeville if you need to 
add them to your year list.

We also had orioles at our suet feeders, which I don't recall occurring in the 
past.  I've put out orange halves in years past, but never saw an oriole come 
to them.

Put up the hummingbird feeder last week, and hung it where a tube feeder with 
sunflower seed had been all winter.  The next morning there were 6 or 8 very 
confused goldfinches and house finches hanging out around that feeder.  Hummers 
showed up the next day.

Hi Cayugabirders,

I think it's very interesting how people are reporting orioles eating suet this 
spring. Maybe this has been reported in previous years, but I don't recall so. 
I'm wondering whether this change in diet is because so few of the flowering 
trees are out (at least where I live and in the Cornell Plantations Arboretum 
where I spend a lot of time). So the orioles are having a hard time finding 
enough food (they like to sip nectar from tree flowers) . BTW, many of the 
crabapples in the Arboretum were nailed by the super-cold snap a few weeks 
back...I've been looking closely...there are few viable flower buds on many of 
them, and leaves just struggling to come out now. The trees up here seem 
awfully bare for mid-May.

He doesn't appear injured (blood, torn feathers, etc), but I have not seen his

normally would if approached by a human.
What to do, if anything?  I have to leave for work again in 20 minutes.   Given 
he's not getting far by hopping, he may be in my yard again tonight (pitch dark 
when I return, and late)

RE: [cayugabirds-l] bird in my yard, not flying

[Rosalie V Borzik]

Thanks Vanessa.

On the positive side, the bird appears to be holding its wings evenly.  Draw a 
visual line from wingtip to wingtip across the body and you’ll see that the 
wing tips are even--one isn’t drooping lower than the other.  This implies that 
wing bones fractures are not likely the issue. Keel  fractures are the result 
of hard frontal impacts, e.g. an owl and car windshield collision.  If the full 
impact was frontal, the wings MAY also look even in that case.  “Angel wing” is 
a deformity (genetic or nutritional) that more often than not appears only in 
one wing.  It’s unlikely you would find an adult bird in that condition in the 
wild. Young birds with that problem are usually victims of predation near the 
nest site.

As Chris mentioned, a window strike is a more likely scenario.  In that 
case,--if it was not a severe impact—it’s possible the bird could recover after 
a short rest.  Placing it in a box in a warm, quite area is the first thing to 
try.  If it was a minor hit, you may hear the bird moving around in the box.  
Peek in and look at the wing position.  If they are being held normally, got 
outside to a more protected area and open the box.  Ideally, the bird will hop 
out on its own or immediately fly off.

Putting it safely in a box, keeping it warm and quiet are actions not to be 
under-rated.  It is most important to never to attempt to feed our water an 
injured bird. Lots of harm can come from those simple actions.  If the bird 
does not look BAR (bright, alert and responsive) and ready to leave when you 
open the box, then a trip to the vet is warranted.

Hope this helps you in the future.

Regards,

Rose Borzik

"If you are near the Cornell Vet School, you can collect the American Goldfinch 
(use a towel or sheet to throw over the bird, so you can catch it) and place it 
in a small box with air holes for breathing. Then, take the box with bird to 
the Cornell Vet School. They have a Wildlife Clinic that will check the bird 
out. It may have suffered from a window strike or may be the result of a failed 
attempt by a cat or raptor at catching it (but escaped with injuries)."

Several people were at Myers Point from ~7:40-8:15 this morning before we had 
heard about the tern and did not see it or any other terns (or shorebirds for 
that matter). A very worn LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL and two continuing female 
LESSER SCAUP were the most notable birds. Since then I have also checked 
Stewart Park, Myers again, and the tern breakwall at Union Springs without 
success. As usual, 30+ Common Terns were calling and loafing on the breakwall 
at Frontenac, but no suspicious birds. I did have an interested bird flying off 
Long Point State Park that was a candidate for the Arctic, but it disappeared 
too quickly to be sure, last seen heading south. A RUDDY TURNSTONE was on the 
point at Long Point, along with nine Caspian Terns.

I had a tern on the north side of Myers Point, Lansing, Tompkins County this

https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/nlytDEitT_i55UkdYGmeQNMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink,
 and the following images.

The bird was foraging back and forth in the bay north of Salt Point, south to 
the mouth of Salmon Creek. I first saw it there and lost it going north. Later 
I saw it moving along the shore of the bay, near docks on the north side. I 
went to Salt Point and watched it fly back and forth down the shoreline until I 
lost it on a northward move.

I originally thought it was a Forster's Tern because the upper surfaces of the 
wings were so clean and white. I could see flashes of white(er) in the wingtips 
on occasion when the bird banked, and never saw any dark in the inner section 
of the primaries, as I would expect with Common Tern. There was a thin solid 
dark trailing edge to the outermost primaries that did not extend to the 
innermost or the secondaries.

Unlike Forster's Tern, however, the belly was darker than the rump and face. 
The white rump extended onto the tail, not contrasting with it, which in the 
photos shows clearly darker outer edges. In the dim light I could not confirm a 
dark tip to the bill, but it did not look long or orange-based like a Forster's.

I jokingly told myself to stop thinking Common vs. Forster's and start trying 
to make it into an Arctic Tern. But, I didn't seriously consider the idea until 
I showed Jay the photos.

Any Sterna tern is unusual in the county this time of year, so I hope others 
will go out and look for this bird.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Injured Red-Tailed Hawk

[Rosalie V Borzik]

Hi Alicia,



If you go back to that area, tell me the hawk is still there and wait for me to 
arrive, I will come. Otherwise, it's a long drive for what is likely to be a 
wild goose chase.



Email me at rbor...@audubon.orgmailto:rbor...@audubon.org or call my cell

Hi,

  On my way home from work, at 5:30 PM, an injured mature (and
gorgeous) red-tailed hawk was in a field just south of Interlaken. It
was able to jump and flap for very short distances - maybe 3' in lift
and 10' in distance - and was progressing through a series of flap/hops,
but appeared to have an injury to the left wing and possibly weakness in
the left leg.  It was extremely alert - it watched crouched by the side
of Rte 96A for a series of cars and trucks to scream past and then
flap/hopped across the road - but surely will tire quickly.  The field I
last saw it in is I think the same one where a Snowy Owl was seen
briefly earlier this year (not be me) and is a favorite of foxes and
coyotes.

  Anyone have the name/phone number of someone willing to go after
this strong but injured bird?  I can give more specific directions then,
or meet someone there to show them where it was last seen.

 Alicia
