Sadly, circumstances prevented me from attending yesterday's dike walk, but
today's list of 15-16 shorebirds was still a great haul, considering only 2
pairs of eyes and not 30.
Most significantly, we missed the flock (!) of White-rumped Sandpipers
mentioned in yesterday's report. After leaving

I arrived there at 3:30. Super lighting! Both Black-bellied and Golden Plovers
were there - more than one of each. Both Hudsonian Godwits remained. I saw
Stilt Sandpipers and Pectoral Sandpipers plus Dowitcher species. There were
many peeps, but they were too far away for me to find any Baird's
Hi all,
For those of you who don't know, the RED-HEADED WOODPECKER that has been on
campus since at least August 25th continues through today, September 1st.
This bird, along with an OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER and a YELLOW-BELLIED
FLYCATCHER, has been frequenting a marshy patch with lots of snags on
On south winds Saturday a decent flight of young hawks passed Derby Hill,
mostly Red-tails and Bald Eagles but all the expected raptors were represented.
Sunday afternoon, Sodus Point produced 8 species of shorebirds: Baird's,
Least, Semi-p Sandpipers, Black-bellied & Semi-p Plover, Ruddy Turns
I have screech-owl that sounds like it's just next to he house. It
stardusts calling at precisely 5:30am the last three mornings that i've
taken note. I also hear it in the evening, but not as regularly as in the
am. Its expertly controlled tremolo just gets me. what a way to start the
day,
Candace
in the woods between the south ends of Remington Road and North Sunset
Drive, around 8:00 last evening. It called quietly for several minutes.

Thanks Jay and Dave for great reports! I hope to head down that way in search
of Northern Spreadwing and some clubtails, so might find some of the great
birds too!

To follow up on Dave's thorough but modest summary of our dike walk
yesterday, I thought I would share a few of my and Livia's sightings from
the weekend. We went up to Montezuma on Saturday afternoon, spent the
evening there, camped at Cayuga Lake State Park, and joined the group for
the walk out
We were awakened last night at 11:30 by a screech owl nearby
repeatedly giving its whinny call and sometimes its little hoots.
We heard it for about 10 minutes and then only stillness. What a
pleasant surprise.

Eastern Screech owl continued for another an hour or so calling intermittently,
then probably I fell asleep. In the morning I was worried all my moths would be
gone. To my surprise there were a lot more Catocala spp. than ever I have seen.
I counted 17 of them sprinkled on both sides of the shee
11 matches
