[cayugabirds-l] Northern Parula at IHS? mystery partly solved
Thanks to all who wrote trying to help me solve this mystery and to Dave Nutter who went out this morning to help me identify one of the two calls. We walked on both sides of the creek south of Ithaca High, and it was loaded with birds! The monotonic warble call was indeed a Dark-eyed Junco! http://macaulaylibrary.org/audio/169037 The zipper-like call, which we did not hear today, was suggested by Asher to possibly be a Tufted Titmouse if it had a sound like a plastic comb being pulled along a hard edge. I could not find a Tufted Titmouse recording that matched in the Macauly Library. I could not go through all 100 Pine Siskin calls in the library, but the few I went through were not what I think I heard. Learning to bird by ear is hard work! -- 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/ --
Re:[cayugabirds-l] Northern Parula at IHS?
Several people have written to suggest I heard a Pine Siskin, and I listened to all four recordings on the Macaulay Library, and none match. What I heard matches Northern Parula (first place) and Pine Warbler (second place)I"ll try to record on my phone next time.

[cayugabirds-l] Northern Parula at IHS?
I know it's early for a parula. Have there been any reports? But I think I heard a parula (FOY) calling from up high In a pine tree on the west side of the high school close to the creek today about 10AM. There were two sounds. First one was a pulsing cricket or cicada-like sound, second one a long-stretched out and higher pitched zipper-like sound. I heard similar sounds nearby in my neighborhood nearby last year all spring! And I could not figure it out until fall when a parula was confirmed!
