There was also a Swainson’s Thrush on the Wilson Trail between the small bridge 
and the Sherwood Platform. And there was a Swamp Sparrow mixed with the Song 
Sparrows around the parking lots.

Hi all,
This morning on the Wilson Trail there was a flyover PINE SISKIN (heard 
simultaneously by Wes Hochachka) as well as several NORTHERN WATERTHRUSHES, 
CAPE MAY WARBLER, RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET, and BLUE-HEADED VIREO. Most of the 
birds were around the Sherwood Platform/Charlie Harper Bench.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods Birds Rail and other birds

[Chris Pelkie]

I wanted to thank Brad (who I do see in the hallway occasionally) for reminding 
me that the strange sound that put me onto the Wilson's Snipe is called 
'winnowing'. I had forgotten I knew that word.

And thanks to Tom Schulenberg who I did see in the hallway for explaining that 
my field guide continues the confusion on Snipe naming, by showing a Common 
Snipe and a Wilson's Snipe with overlapping ranges. Tom told me that Common 
Snipe was once accepted as the name for both North American and Eurasian 
snipes, but now Wilson's denotes the NA species and Common refers only to the 
Eurasian. If I explained that incorrectly, please adjust, Tom or other expert! 
Thought others would like the refresher.

So I have recorded the winnowing rapidly-descending angular-winged and 
long-billed silhouette I saw as my FOY Wilson's Snipe (on Monday).

Cheers,
ChrisP
