[cayugabirds-l] Warbler that sounds like Golden-winged

After birding in the Hawthorn Orchard this morning, where the highlight for us was a good close look at a quiet Gray-Cheeked Thrush, Ken and I decided to go out to Michigan Hollow. There were so many warblers and other passerines along Michigan Hollow Road that it took us quite a bit of time to

[cayugabirds-l] OOB Greensprings Cuckoos

After this morning's half-day SFO visit to Arnot (highlighted by a good number of scope warblers), I stuck around Greensprings Cemetary to photograph bobolinks, and presently witnessed three black-billed cuckoos involved in a chase (presumably 2 males with a female observer) around the same

[cayugabirds-l] New bird

Well better late than never I guess. I had a Pine Siskin, finally. There may be two of them, but I only saw one.One was on the feeder and I thought I heard another vocalizing not far away. The first time I ever had one in my yard was at this time of year. My White Crown Sparrows, 4, are

[cayugabirds-l] RTH - Stout Road, Seneca County

Contrary to a post earlier this month, it appears that the Red Tail Hawks who nested last year near Stout Road in Seneca County haven't deserted the area after all. This morning we were spotted by a stunning adult as we came around a bend above the ravine. S/he took up a station in one of the

[cayugabirds-l] Arnot forest and the wierd Prairie warbler

?Hi all, Today my group spent the time in Arnot forest. We did hear the Prairie warbler Dave Nutter described yesterday. First I thought I am listening to a Savannah Sparrow with weird additional note. Then saw pure yellow on its belly and then we realized this was the Prairie described by

[cayugabirds-l] Glossy ibises at Montezuma

Hi all, In spite of the fact that there seemed to have been a major flight out of the area as south winds and clear skies pushed migrants north last night, Ton and I decided to proceed with our planned big day To see as many species as we could in a day. As feared, many migrant warblers and

[cayugabirds-l] Eastern Wood Peewee

On Friday while walking the trails near Flatrock, I heard my first of year Eastern Wood Peewee. Also hear Wood Thrush, Veery, Yellow Warbler, American Redstart, Common Yellowthroat, and others. A few days ago, on the same trail, I heard an owl calling from up the hill somewhere. It sounded

Re: [cayugabirds-l] New bird

We never got any White-throated Sparrows this year. Did get a couple of White-Crowned. We have a loyal population of Pine Siskins due to the thistle feeder I put up. They started hear when there was just sunflower seed but they really seem to love thistle seed. A moment ago I thought I heard

[cayugabirds-l] Elm Beach Road, Town of Romulus

Easily fifty - and quite possibly more - Cormorants have flown north during the last five minutes, in variable groups and as singles. We've had quite a few sightings during the month, but this was truly remarkable. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Red-headed Woodpeckers

I spent 45 minutes there this afternoon and they were having a dispute with some starlings over a cavity close to the road, they seemed insistent that it was theirs but the starlings were in possession and not giving it up. Judy There are 2 Red-headed Woodpeckers at Mays Point Not sure

[cayugabirds-l] Two more Acadian Flycatchers

I'm walking through the Cayuta Outlet gorge with my dog Sandy right now. Can't believe I've got a signal here, though I'm getting close to that splendid crows-foot of gorges crossed by the twin black locust truss foot-bridges. Anyway, two more Acadian Flycatchers so far: the first singing about
