At the Owasco inlet yesterday morning there were 2 RUSTY BLACKBIRDS
and 40 YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS. Also of interest was a clear sustained
audio on a RED-SHOULDERED HAWK and visuals on one YELLOWTHROAT, 14
RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS, 2 GREEN-WINGED TEAL, 2HOODED MERGANSERS, and 45
ROBINS among others.
In Frozen Ocean we had 3 SWAINSON'S THRUSHES, 4 BROWN CREEPERS, 1
YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, 15 GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS, and 50 ROBINS among
others.
At Long Point around noon we had 2 COMMON LOONS and a DUNLIN as well
as a SEMI-PALMATED PLOVER.
Happy fall!

Kevin (& all),
Some neat birds were found Saturday that didn't get posted on
Cayugabirds-L or texted to the rare bird alert but did get shared by
cell phone among several people in the field. There was a Sanderling
which Bob McGuire & Gary Kohlenberg (& Stuart Krasnoff?) found at
Myers Point early this morning, and was later seen by at least Ann
Mitchell and myself. And there was an Orange-crowned Warbler which
Nate Senner found at Freese Road which was later seen by Gary
Kohlenberg and Ann Mitchell. Neither was a first of year
observation nor a bird which is unexpected, but both are tough basin
birds which few people have seen this year. Should such
observations be put on the RBA? Should observers ensure that such
observations get posted on Cayugabirds-L? I admit that when Ann
called me a second time saying she didn't know how to do an RBA, I
chose to look for the Orange-crowned Warbler during my limited
opportunity rather than spend the time typing out an RBA, but I told
her so and thought she was going to have someone else do it. As for
the Sanderling, I was driving for the first 45 minutes after I heard
about it, and I never was at my computer again till well after I saw
it, so I didn't realize it didn't get posted till mid afternoon. At
noon when I saw it I was about to text that it was still there, but
called Ann first because I knew Sanderling had been on her list of
missing species, and then I got distracted by looking for the Orange-
crowned Warbler until I had other obligations. Sorry about that.

Did I miss something? What Orange-crowned Warbler?

call to
Ann gave her a second chance to see it as she wasn't quite tall
enough to
see over the goldenrod. It made me think that sparrow-ing in the
fall
would be more productive wearing short stilts. That may have given
me just
the edge I needed to see the Henslow's sparrow I missed at Hog Hole.
