Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler territories? (pictures)

2012-05-21 Thread Raghuram Ramanujan 
Thanks to everyone who shared their Mourning Warbler info on here. I
decided to track down Jay McGowan and Scott Haber's lead at Hammond Hill
late on Friday afternoon and found the bird exactly where they had seen it.

If you are interested in getting a good look at this species (and great
photos), I highly recommend spending some time with this individual. Not
only does he forage conspicuously within ~20ft of the trail and sing from
nice exposed perches, he also appears to play up for the camera -- every
burst of shutter clicks from me seemed to draw him in closer, eager to
investigate the curious clicking noises. Without further ado, here's a pic:

I'd second Jay's recommendation of Hammond Hill. Jessie Barry and I (and
some visitors from California) saw the same male quite easily over the
weekend, and he spent most of his time singing out in the open, remaining
on the same branch for minutes at a time.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler territories?

2012-05-15 Thread Mark Chao 
Hi Ken and everyone,

If the sporting/listing aspect of birding is the goal, rather than
witnessing actual breeding behavior, then I might suggest trying the Wilson
Trail North in Sapsucker Woods between 7 and 8 AM on May 17.  Three of the
past four years, I've found one right there at that very time.  Last year I
also found a second Mourning Warbler on May 17 on the Dryden side.

Seeing Mourning Warblers in Sapsucker Woods may be a little harder than
seeing them on territories on Beam Hill and in our nearby state forests, but
I'm not sure to what extent.  With patience, I had excellent views of two of
the four Mourning Warblers in Sapsucker Woods, as well as a frustrating
glimpse of a third.  One remained out of my sight.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler territories?

2012-05-15 Thread Kevin J. McGowan 
Last year I had an actively singing Mourning Warbler on Beam Hill in some 
messily cut woods across from where we used to live (138 Beam Hill), in the 
first forest patch on the left as you come up hill past the yard-to-yard 
houses.  I have not checked it yet this year but it might be good.

Ken know this, but for others I will point out that Mourning Warblers like a 
closed canopy with dense underbrush.  That kind of habitat is what you find in 
an area the first few years after a selective cut.  The messier the better.  
Lots of brambles and downed logs, but still with standing trees.

In my experience, except perhaps in a managed sugar bush, this kind of habitat 
is ephemeral in our area.  It can last a few years, but usually only holds 
Mourning Warblers for a short period of time.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler territories?

2012-05-15 Thread Jay McGowan 
One was singing at the top of the Yellow Trail on Hammond Hill on Saturday
morning (trail to the left of the parking area, follow it all the way to a
few meters before it ends at a T intersection). The bird was in the
clearing area right there, the same place one was last year. I also had one
singing along Mount Pleasant Road in the first area with woods on both
sides down (west side) from the observatory on Saturday. Not sure if that
one will stick or was just a migrant, but it sounded pretty close to the
road. Several HOODED WARBLERS were singing from the Cornell property on
lower Mount Pleasant Road at Deerhaven Drive. Other birds on Hammond Hill
