[cayugabirds-l] Myers this Morning

By the time I got to Myers this morning Bill Baker had already seen several Bonaparte's Gulls and a Common Loon. We soon picked out a close-in Red-necked Grebe in nearly full breeding plumage. A flock of 19 scoters flew up the lake. Viewing through the heavy mist was difficult; they were ei

[cayugabirds-l] Woodcocks/Owls

As Ann mentioned earlier, Bill Baker and I led an SFO group yesterday evening in search of woodcocks and owls. The woodcock on the corner of Snyder Hill and Whitted Roads began peenting a bit later than usual, perhaps due to the lite drizzle. In the half hour that we were present it never p

[cayugabirds-l] Cliff Swallow, Stewart Park

No sign of a Palm Warbler, but there is a nice CLIFF SWALLOW foraging with Tree, Barn, and Northern Rough-winged on the small pond at the swan pen at Stewart Park (west end of the shore). Nice close looks, too. Jay McGowan -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWE

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsuckers on West Hill, also killdeer favored spot

On Tuesday (4/12) we saw (and heard) 3-4 sapsuckers on Bundy Road, and later in the afternoon while looking out the window at our yard saw one on a tree. It visited 3 more trees before flying out of sight but left a calling card, namely four neat holes in a horizontal row on one of the trees.

[cayugabirds-l] Spotted Sandpiper @ Stewart Park; + ~25 Bonaparte's Gulls.

Scoping from East Shore Park around 7 AM I saw a flock of about 20 Bonarparte's Gulls staged in a line off the west shore north of the lighthouse. I saw a few more stragglers. None of them lingered long in the water, soon taking off to the north. There were Scaup, Bufflehead, and Common Merga

[cayugabirds-l] RFI: Golden-crowned Kinglet/Barred Owl

Hi everyone, One of my "goal" birds to photograph this spring is Golden-crowned Kinglet. I know a couple of traditional spots locally, but if anyone has any local leads on where to find one consistently I'd really appreciate hearing about it. Ditto for Barred Owl. In fact, I'd appreciate info

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Spotted Sandpiper @ Stewart Park; + ~25 Bonaparte's Gulls.

Folks who're seeing the Bonaparte's Gulls: are they in breeding plumage? still changing? I'm the photo editor for the bird club's upcoming book about birding sites in the basin, in which we include small photos of some typical birds for each site. I have the option of choosing a Boney in breedin

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Cliff Swallow, Stewart Park

I stopped at the Swan Pen late today to check out the action. I found the CLIFF SWALLOW and the other assortment Jay posted. The TREE SWALLOWS were up to ~160 individuals. I also enjoyed the nice close viewing with only light rain. The biggest surprise was my first singing PALM WARBLER. Beautifu
