Subject: [CT Birds] Re: Cattle Egret
Continuing as of 4pm! It was dogging the heels of one particular black and white cow this afternoon. One of the farmers, Marlene, showed me its favorite spot today; apparently, it has generally been wandering between both farms at the intersection of Cobble and Under Mountain Road.

Cobble Road is worth a walk, as well, by the way. In less than half an hour I had some pretty great speciesincluding displaying bobolinks and foraging nighthawks--and I was in a rush!

Thanks, all, for the intel.

Subject: [CT Birds] Blue Grosbeak - No
At least 8 birders searched extensively at the Jared Elliott preserve in Guilford but we were unable to relocate the Blue Grosbeak seen earlier today.

For a night with what looked like extremely limited activity on radar, some interesting birds did show up today; in addition to the Blue Grosbeak there was a White Pelican in Stratford and a Whimbrel and Black Tern at Hammonasset.

Always worth it to get out and bird anytime during the month of May!

A lone Cerulean Warbler seen today at 830am on trail behind shed where tractors are kept about 200 ft up at Bent of the River  in an  area that a large tract of trees fell during tornado. Look to right where rock/cliffs are.  One was high up and occasionally came down . Its call was not a typical Cerulean call.  Its call was easy to pick out among all the Ovenbirds and Hooded Warblers.Jeff Campbell

> I saw an alert Wed afternoon that there was a Western Cattle Egret in the northwest corner of Litchfield County with a pin on location provided by George Wallace showing the south side of Cobble Rd near the intersection with Under Mountain Rd (see Pin below for road location). I drove out to take a look while there was a decent break from the rain and was very happy to see it was still there south side of Cobble Rd. The Egret was sitting on a concrete block, preening, giving me good views over the tall field grass. Photos in my checklist, link below.

> We went to Hammonasset Beach SP in Madison this morning to see if there were any storm-driven birds around. We didn’t find any significant rarities but, as anticipated, many of the grassy fields were flooded so it should just be a matter of time before a phalarope or similarly rare shorebird shows up there. We did see a nice variety of birds, most notably: two AMERICAN GOLDEN PLOVER at the end of the Moraine Trail, a WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER in the marsh to the east of the beginning of the Willards Island trail, a ROSEATE TERN feeding with the large flock of Common Terns near the Meigs Point jetty, a LAUGHING GULL there as well (as well as a flock of 8 in the field opposite the Swan Pond), a BOAT-TAILED GRACKLE and the continuing female LESSER SCAUP in the swan pond. 60+ species in all. Full report on ebird.

Subject: [CT Birds] Hammo Highlights
We went to Hammonasset Beach SP in Madison this morning to see if there were any storm-driven birds around. We didn’t find any significant rarities but, as anticipated, many of the grassy fields were flooded so it should just be a matter of time before a phalarope or similarly rare shorebird shows up there. We did see a nice variety of birds, most notably: two AMERICAN GOLDEN PLOVER at the end of the Moraine Trail, a WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER in the marsh to the east of the beginning of the Willards Island trail, a ROSEATE TERN feeding with the large flock of Common Terns near the Meigs Point jetty, a LAUGHING GULL there as well (as well as a flock of 8 in the field opposite the Swan Pond), a BOAT-TAILED GRACKLE and the continuing female LESSER SCAUP in the swan pond. 60+ species in all. Full report on ebird.

And Zach Adams reports the bird is still there this morning. Best approach is north on Under Mountain Rd from Rte 63 west in Canaan, then left on Cobble Rd. Cobble Rd is flooded out if approaching from the other side where it intersects with Rte 63.

Subject: [CT Birds] Western Cattle Egret on Cobble Rd, New Canaan
I saw an alert Wed afternoon that there was a Western Cattle Egret in the northwest corner of Litchfield County with a pin on location provided by George Wallace showing the south side of Cobble Rd near the intersection with Under Mountain Rd (see Pin below for road location). I drove out to take a look while there was a decent break from the rain and was very happy to see it was still there south side of Cobble Rd. The Egret was sitting on a concrete block, preening, giving me good views over the tall field grass. Photos in my checklist, link below.

This Egret was initially found by Scott Whalen and George Wallace at this same location. The road has a barrier and a “road closed" sign at this end, but you can park on the other side of the barrier to look for the bird, turn around in the roadway to exit.

My son in Illinois just found a house sparrow nest in the vent in his

I know they are an invasive species, but I was curious what would
be recommended.
Does one remove the nest from the bathroom vent and leave it outside?

Subject: [CT Birds] Birding in Netherlands in early Sept
Hello all,

My husband and I are traveling to the Netherlands this September for a family celebration. We understand that it’s a great birding destination as well.

Looking for any suggestions for destinations, birding organizations and/or private guides that offer day excursions. Also any specifics on what species to target at that time of year. (Beginning of their fall migration?)

Many thanks in advance!

We will have two full days in the Western Fjords and wonder if anyone has any particular spots we should visit (or not) in that part of Iceland. We plan on visiting the "bird cliffs" at Latrabjar -- where else should we go? We'll take the ferry over and drive back, and have overnight accommodations set up (although if there's a special place you'd recommend we can change that). Suggestions welcome!

We found an early MOURNING WARBLER at Osbornedale State Park in Derby this evening, along with a SOLITARY SANDPIPER. The Mourning Warbler was in the thickets along the trail north of the upper pond (in the part of the park across the street from the Kellogg Environmental Center). It was a male, but was silent. If it is still in that area in the morning it might be singing. The sandpiper was along the edge of the pond.

Subject: [CT Birds] Re: Lawrence’s Warbler?
Hi Ed. It’s easiest to just quote Birds of the World from the Cornell Lab. I put up an album of a few photos of “pure” Golden-winged and Blue-winged along with Brewster’s, Lawrence’s and an un-named back-cross with yellow wing bars (https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBpwb3). George Wallace’s back-cross example he posted today is another variety (https://ebird.org/checklist/S173018735). Brewster’s and Lawrence’s are just the two most common and probably direct BWWAxGWWA crosses.



"Hybrid phenotypes resulting from Blue-winged × Golden-winged pairings require careful scrutiny.

Brewster's hybrids (the most frequently occurring hybrid phenotype) look like Golden-wings without the bold, black facial pattern. These hybrids feature the (dominant) black eye-line of the Blue-wing. Underparts intermediate in color; i.e., white heavily washed with yellow. Wing-bars also intermediate but highly variable in amount of yellow color and separation. Female Brewster's is paler and breast and belly may have more neutral gray than male Brewster's (Confer 1992b <https://birdsoftheworld.org/bow/species/buwwar/cur/references#REF45466>).

Lawrence's hybrids combine Golden-wing (homozygous recessive) face pattern with Blue-wing-like yellow plumage color. Black throat and eye-patch inherited as a unit with rare exceptions.

Backcrossing produces individuals that closely resemble either parental species, with some introgression. Examples include Blue-winged Warblers with 2 yellowish, not white, wing-bars. Backcrossing of first-generation Brewster's Warbler with Golden-winged Warbler may produce Brewster's Warblers with pure-white underparts and broad, yellow wing-bars, like Golden-wing, but no black throat and eye-patch.”



Gill, F. B., R. A. Canterbury, and J. L. Confer (2020). Blue-winged Warbler (Vermivora cyanoptera), version 1.0. In Birds of the World (A. F. Poole and F. B. Gill, Editors). Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Ithaca, NY, USA. https://doi.org/10.2173/bow.buwwar.01

From: Matthew Bell via CTBirds <ctbirds...>
Subject: [CT Birds] Re: Lawrence’s Warbler?
A Lawrence’s Warbler is a hybrid between two pure parents, one Golden-winged and one Blue-winged, that shows the recessive traits from both (showing an all yellow body and blue wings of Blue-winged and the black facial pattern of a male Golden-winged). Therefore, it’s much rarer than Brewster’s Warbler, which is the other hybrid (gray body and golden wingbars of Golden-winged, black eye line of Blue-winged).

The issue arises with the fact that both hybrids are also capable of breeding and having viable offspring, leading to further generations that don’t have a name and are more generically labeled as Golden-winged x Blue-winged. However, a full yellow-bodied bird with the face of a Golden-winged would be Lawrence’s no matter what. You start to get more difficult ID questions that arise, sometimes with just faint plumage differences on otherwise pure-looking birds due to how much interbreeding there is.

This of course brings about the question of whether or not Golden-winged and Blue-winged are two separate species, depending which species concept you choose to abide in…but that’s opening another can of worms that I’m sure not many want to touch :).

This morning at Schlesinger Bird Preserve was outstanding with 54 species,
including 17 species of warblers. Of special note were an Orange-crowned
Warbler and a Golden-winged Warbler (photos of both). I was there for over
2.5 hours and the GWWA sang a classic Blue-winged song the whole time.
Blue-winged also present (and seen!).

Request for assistance – song recordings of migrating Mourning Warblers

 

I am posting my annual opportunity to participate in a Citizens Science Project that involves recording migrating Mourning Warbler songs.  I am trying to determine the nature of migratory pathways taken by different song populations of Mourning Warbler males during their spring migration.  I am continuing to collect your recordings and plot them on a map of North America to determine if and where birds with different song types (regiolects) separate from each other during spring migration.  The most current map of songs of migrants is at the web site below.

 

<https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?hl=en&mid=1voXjBhvHZ0nwAv93_OBC_vCPuxQ&<ll...>%2C-85.09712735&z=5>

 

All you need is a Smartphone and a singing Mourning Warbler.  You can send the recordings to my e-mail address (jpitocch AT anselm.edu).  The web page link below describes the project and how to make recordings on your Smartphone in more detail.

This year is the 10th and final year of data collection.  I very much appreciate your past and present contributions to this Citizens Science Project.

Subject: [CT Birds] Hartford, Bushnell Park - Osprey?
Was anyone else in the Bushnell Park area yesterday between 10:30-12:30? Me
and some coworkers observed a large bird with a white head, light/mousey
brown dorsal side, with two thick, dark wing bars extending from the top of
the wing through to the tips of the secondaries soaring in circles over the
park pond before heading north towards Route 44.

We thought maybe an osprey but couldn’t confirm without binoculars.

Hoping someone else saw what we saw and can help give me some closure!

Bay-breasted. Other birds of note were Great Crested Flycatcher and FOY
Eastern Wood-Pewee.

Pumpkin Hill Road, Chaplin, 4:30-5:00 pm, 5/7/24: Had nice looks at a
Cerulean Warbler; there's a bunch of Cerulean Warblers singing in the area.
It's 0.2 miles south of the McQuade Marsh sign where there is a power cut &
a dirt pullout a few feet south of the cut. I just made a quick stop but I
also noted other warblers: Redstarts, Yellow, Black & White, Blue-winged
(presumed by song, but not confirmed by sight), & other birds too

I could be wrong, but tomorrow is looking promising for a migrant fallout: the winds should be from the south at night, birdcast is forecasting a high number of birds to be flying over CT, and there is the prediction of rain at dawn. If the timing is right, birds will be coming down at dawn and landing in whatever trees they can find. The city parks: East Rock, Edgewood and Lighthouse Point in New Haven might be especially birdy. Get out tomorrow morning if you can!

Subject: [CT Birds] A little too exciting morning on Spectacle Brook Swamp
After returning from a couple weeks away, was able to get out for a morning
birdwalk.

49 species including a large number of White-throated Sparrows still
sticking around, a pair of Wood Ducks, my yearly Phoebe pair nesting (5
Phoebe eggs and 1 Cowbird), a Barred Owl, a rare Least Flycatcher, a
lingering Northern Waterthrush, an early Blackpoll Warbler and the big star
- my first Tennessee Warbler for species # 130 from this location.

But even the new warbler wasn't as "thrilling" as hearing movement behind
me and turning around to face a big, beautiful skunk about 8 feed away. It
made a warning display when it became aware of me, but we both managed to
walk away unscathed.

Subject: [CT Birds] Whip-poor-will, West Rock Ridge State Park

Hi All,

It's been almost twenty years since Whip-poor-wills have been reported in West Rock State Park in Hamden. From eBird it looks like this was a reliable spot through the early 2000s, with the last report from Stephen Broker in 2005. (This was also the site of a Chuck-Wills-Widow in 1989.) There were also reports of Whip-poor-wills to the north of the park, in Bethany, in 2012 and 2020.

I'm glad to say that the Whip-Poor-Wills are still there! I went investigating early this morning and heard one along the ridge road, not too far from the location described by Stephen in 1994.

Details and audio here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S172555283

(And based on my quick loop around Lake Wintergreen afterwards, it looks like today could be a good day for migrants!)

The heavy fog this morning seems to be keeping the terns down. There’s over 200 total on the jetty, the large majority Common. But there’s also at least 28 ROSEATES, the large majority banded so I’m guessing from Great Gull Island.

Subject: [CT Birds] Re: Backyard Red-headed Woodpecker
Our Backyard Red-headed Woodpecker is continuing for a 9th day! After not seeing it yesterday, and fearing it may have moved on, it’s back again today on our suet feeder.

First seen on April 28th, it is a first year male. It’s been tapping on trees behind our yard and at one point was chasing a Red-bellied Woodpecker. Both are territorial activities which we’re hoping signals its intent to stay.

Subject: [CT Birds] Hammo White-faced Ibis, Upland Sandpiper
At Hammonasset Beach State Park in Madison this morning, Matt Bell relocated the White-faced Ibis that was found by Chris Loscalzo yesterday. Today the bird was in the marsh west of the Nature Center, just east of the beach pull-off. It was very near the road, affording great looks to several birders!

Matt said that he was also looking for the Upland Sandpiper that has been in the area, with no luck. And of course, just after Matt left, the Upland Sandpiper flew in and landed within about 10 feet of the White-faced Ibis! I called Matt and he turned around to see the Upland, and then we got at least 8-10 other birders onto it.

The Upland Sandpiper was still in that area when we left but the White-faced Ibis disappeared to parts unknown.

Subject: [CT Birds] Red Red-bellied woodpecker
This morning at Bauer Farm in Madison I had an amazing 59 species.

I have been seeing an interesting Red-bellied Woodpecker over the last few weeks, and I finally got some decent photos of the bird today. In addition to a noticeable red belly, the bird has extensive red in the face and a pinkish tint to his chest and flanks. His head is also interesting; he has something of a crest vs. the typical smooth nape and cap.

Photos of the bird are in my eBird report: https://ebird.org/checklist/S171343816

I would be interested in feedback about this bird; I assume it is just exaggerated breeding plumage, but it is quite interesting!

5/1 Milford, Connecticut Audubon Coastal Center 11am-1PM, low tide,
receding, started out overcast and became sunny-64F.
Very busy with class visits and other visitors and photographers today.
Our Purple Martin colony is growing- I saw about 12 circling and in the
gourds- probably more.
Our ospreys are incubating eggs. Female was on the nest and male on his
perch and sitting in the marsh for a while. Both left the nest for a bit
to chase away a third osprey.
On the marsh: (viewed from inside the building) 3 Mute swans, 2 Gadwall,
several Black bellied plovers & 2 Blue winged teal very far out (thanks Ken
for help with the ID), 5 D.C. Cormorants flew over, 6 American Black
ducks, Brant were scattered throughout the marsh, 3 Great Egrets and 5
Greater Yellowlegs foraging in marsh.
On the grounds & feeders: 4 Northern Cardinals, 8 Robins, 2 Song
sparrows, about 16 House sparrows, 2 White throated sparrows, 2 House
finches, 1 Northern Mockingbird, 3 Red winged Blackbirds, 4 Mourning
doves, 2 Fish Crows, 1 very vocal Carolina Wren. Merlin Identified a
Common Yellow throat but I didn't see it.
Plus one very plump woodchuck under the feeders.

CT Birds guidelines:

This list is for sharing information about birds and birding in Connecticut.

When reporting birds, please include the town where seen.

*** Always include your first and last name and your town when posting. ***

Some birds should not be posted for the good of the bird. Examples are directions to accessible bird nests and any day-roosting owls - Screech, Great Horned, Barred, Barn, Long-eared and Saw-whet.

Proper language is expected, personal disagreements should be handled off-line and disruptive posts will not be tolerated.

Did you know?
• Attachments such as photos are not supported by the software.
• Prompt reporting of 'good' birds is appreciated by many in the birding community!
• When you want to post a reply to the list using email, use 'Reply to All'. <— *please reply to all only when your reply benefits most of the list!*
• When you want to reply only to the person who posted using email, use 'Reply'.
• You can automatically include your name and town with your email settings. Contact me if you need help setting this up.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!

The Hooded Warbler that visited Bauer Farm in Madison since Friday seems to have moved on, but over a dozen birders got to enjoy his visit.

It was still an amazing morning at the park today and I found 7 Warbler species, plus dozens other birds, totaling 55 species.

New for the year were Blue-winged and Black-and-white warblers, Orchard Oriole and Chimney Swift.

Subject: [CT Birds] FOY visitors 4/28 and 4/29 in Chester
Experiencing some FOY envy, reading other people's posts! No orioles, thrushes, or hummingbirds here yet, but catbird arrived today (4/29), and yesterday (4/28) we had visits by the blue-grey gnatcatcher and a warbling vireo.

Also witnessed some robin behavior I hadn't seen before: one of the parents was worming in our front yard, and they'd take each catch and wash it off in the birdbath before flying it over to their nestlings. I'd assumed that food was food and once you catch it, you pass it along - so this worm-washing was a new thing for me. Also meant I had to clean the birdbath around midday, because the accumulated dirt made it very mucky.

While on the Audubon Shop bird walk at Hammonasset Beach State Park in Madison this morning, a birder set down his binoculars to look at the beautiful Blue-wing Teal through a scope. Unfortunately he forgot to pick the binoculars up.

They were left in the area of the mini rotary near Meig’s Point. He went back and looked but was not able to find them. They were a fairly new pair of binoculars.

If you know anything about their whereabouts, please contact Jerry at the Audubon Shop at 203-245-9056.

The Hooded Warbler that I found yesterday at Bauer Farm in Madison continues this morning.

Yesterday he stopped frequent singing in the middle of the morning so birders trying for him might want to get there soon!

Like yesterday, he is working the shrubby/tangles area west of the community gardens and in front of the Norway spruce tree line. He also moves down the slope to the west along the edge of the field and down into the marshy area.

Here is my checklist from yesterday with pictures of the bird: https://ebird.org/checklist/S170380322

Subject: [CT Birds] Windsor Locks geese, birds
Windsor Locks Canal State Park:
Many common species seen and heard, including:
A very lyrical Gray Catbird,
Double- breasted cormorant diving and swimming in the canal
Mute Swans: pair flew overhead, heading north
Bald Eagle: pair continue to take turns in the nest

Sadly, the pair of nesting Canada geese have abandoned the nest. I just so happened to be observing them when they both stood above the eggs, looked down at them, then walked off the nest. Next, the male (I presume) was honking loudly as they swam away. I’m quite interested in goose/bird behavior, and wonder if this may have somehow been associated with grief, or letting other geese know it was ok to come back to that area he had so diligently defended… Likely may never know, either way, was sad to see it abandoned.

This is the second time Merlin identified a ring-neck pheasant at the park, I’ve not seen it. I’d be curious to know if anyone has seen a pheasant there or if it’s a common “miss” by the app.

Subject: [CT Birds] North Granby - FOY Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Male, singing in the crabapple tree right outside our kitchen window. This is far and away the earliest date for Rose-breasted Grosbeak in our neck of the woods.

Also still present are at least three Pine Siskins, feasting on sunflower nuggets with a horde of Goldfinches (up to 30 at a time) and three Purple Finches.

Subject: [CT Birds] White face Ibis
More than any other day, and I’ve looked every day nearly, I believe
the white faced ibis MAY be among the 40 or so ibis now behind Indian
River cemetery. White goes clear around the eye, red legs, and red at
the eye. But the ibis are too distant for me to photograph for
confirmation to be absolutely positive.

Just to follow up on this bird: the observer shared photos with some experts and the bird appears to be a Greater Yellowlegs; possibly the same one that Tina Green had in the same area last year.

Just proves that there is some variation among coloring that can lead to confusion.

Subject: [CT Birds] Thumbnail images in posts
CT Birders,

Apple seems to have implemented a new feature where a thumbnail image is generated when you include certain web links in your emails. The problem is that the images are seen as attachments by our CT Birds server. Since attachments are not supported, your posts including these images will get rejected by the server.

This is a particular problem with eBird reports that include photos; the photos become thumbnail images in your email and that causes our server to stop your post.

If you notice an image being generated as you compose an email to CT Birds, you can touch the image and remove it using the pop-up menu that should appear.

This may not be happening in all situations with all Apple OS versions, but I wanted to make you aware of it since a great number of posts are being rejected lately.

Anytime there is an image in your email to our list it will fail to post!

If you have any questions please reply to me directly.

Thank you,

Subject: [CT Birds] Kentucky Warbler - Trout Brook Valley Preserve
Dave and I came across a male Kentucky Warbler this afternoon at Trout
Brook Valley Preserve in Weston. The service was terrible so the message
only made it out onto the GroupMe (apologies). It was first seen around
2:30 and present until 6:30 (when we continued on our hike).

If anyone tries to relocate tomorrow, park at the Bradley Rd entrance and
take the green and white trail about a half mile up to the first opening at
the meadow on the right (41.2512600, -73.3393200). If you hit the bridge
you’ve gone too far. It was seen on the right hand side of the trail along
the edges of the forest, actively foraging on the ground.

Good luck!

Just a brief note from an evolutionary biologist who has studied various intriguing questions from morphological data compared with genetic data. Phenotypes are incredibly variable for many reasons.

Subject: [CT Birds] Louisiana Waterthrush - Steep Rock Preserve, Washington Depot, CT
Walked on the east side of the Shepaug River in Steep Rock Preserve off River Road in Washington Depot, CT this morning. Heard three Louisiana Waterthrush along the river. Heard and saw four Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers. Noted just one Y-R Warbler. Note that the bridge over Shepaug River on River Road is still closed so access to the Steep Rock Preserve on the east side of Shepaug River is only from Spring Hill Rd off RT 199 (Roxbury Rd).

Decided to count Broad Winged Hawks from my back yard today. First bird appeared around 11:35. After that it was all single birds until 2 appeared together and then single birds again until late in the afternoon 4 appeared together . The climax were 2 birds together at 4:45. Total count was 17. Not a great flight but it was persistent. Also 2 Cooper’s Hawks.

Subject: [CT Birds] Tagged Herring Gull follow-up
Dear CT birders, although not pertinent to the imminent spring migration breakout, I just received info on the tagged HERRING gull from the North Windham Walmart parking lot where the Euro Common Gull was also seen. On Feb 9, 2024 I did not see the Common Gull, but I photographed a tagged juvenile gull. Thanks to Liam Taylor for reaching out to the Maine bird banding community! Liam said:

> I can confirm that K1K was banded as a chick on July 24, 2023 on Shabby Island, Maine. The exact hatch date is unknown but the chick was notably small compared to others in the area at the time.
>
> Approximate location: 44.166369, -68.558634


The bander is W. Hodge from College of the Atlantic.

A picture of the gull is in the eBird checklist.

https://ebird.org/checklist/S161029783

Whether or not the Common Gull is from the same flock is unknown, but perhaps it is a summer resident in Maine, like many folks!
