2012-05-13 Thread Jane Graves
An OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER is making its way around the Warren/Hanshaw area right now. It was visible both through binoculars and scope on various bare trees about 100 yards west of my driveway between 6:45 and 7AM but is now moving around calling loudly, sounding at the moment as though it's

There is a singing CNWA just downstream of the Goetchius Parking Lot (the o ne with the little foot bridge); 7:30, 13 May. For those for whom it matters, unfortunately, sort of out of basin. Of course, if it were frozen, and there was a tremendous wind from the east, it is possible that a

[cayugabirds-l] Hooded Warbler, CNC

2012-05-13 Thread Nancy W Dickinson
This morning our small group found the Hooded Warbler on territory at CNC. It perched in plain sight, singing, for a good five minutes, and gave us quite a show. Also exciting were a number of Veerys strolling along the path in front of us, giving long views but no songs, as well as male and

I was at Goetchius from about 10:30 to 11:30 but was not able to find the Connecticut Warbler. I heard a couple of interesting songs but they were probably Common Yellowthroats. There were lots of singing Common Yellowthroats and Yellow Warblers. I did see two Eastern

Answer: still guzzling at the sugar-water feeder. It's nearly dark , all the other birds have long fallen silent, the peepers are calling, and the Ruby-throated Hummingbird is taking his last drink of the evening before disappearing to roost. I've been watching this pattern of tanking up for

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club Field Trip to Lindsay Parsons

On Sunday, I was joined for a glorious day of birding at Lindsay Parsons by Rob Warfield, Klaus Apel, and Judy Thoroughman. I don't think we could have picked a nicer day. There was none of the predicted rain and the temperature remained perfect all day. An added bonus… not a single tick in
