[cayugabirds-l] waxwings and tulip trees

Fri, 25 May 2012 10:53:18 -0500

We have one tulip tree on our property, planted by a former resident perhaps 30 years ago. When we have Cedar Waxwings in the neighborhood, we often see them in this tree. The birds also frequent a Bradford pear that is within 50 feet of the tulip.

A few days ago I watched 5 Cedar Waxwings drinking water from my bird bath
and then they flew up in a tall tulip tree full of blossoms. The Baltimore
Orioles are calling from the tops of the same tree. They might nest up there
but I'm not sure if they enjoy the

[cayugabirds-l] Waxwings & Tulip trees

Thu, 24 May 2012 16:21:17 -0500

I've been aware of flocks of Cedar Waxwings apparently feeding on tulip tree flowers. Never noticed this before and didn't know that the nectar was particularly sweet (bees don't seem very interested, anyway.) Perhaps a silly question, but is this common CW feeding this time of year?

Unfortunately, I did not learn about this Red-necked Phalarope until until last night. I stopped by this morning, 5/24, but alas it was NOT there. I talked to a couple of residents and they had not seen it either today. I did see 2 SPOTTED SANDPIPERS and 3 KILLDEER.

Caroline. There was a very crisply plumaged Siskin at our feeders this morning.

No sight of the previously mentioned Broad-winged Hawks for several days. Their old nest still looks abandoned.

Sat, 19 May 2012 12:22:36 -0500

Shorebirds are plentiful in Puddler Marsh off Towpath Road, Montezuma NWR
right now. We just saw 2 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS, 3 RUDDY TURNSTONES, 20+
SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS, LEAST, SEMIPALMATED, and SPOTTED SANDPIPERS, and 80+
DUNLIN. Mays had over 50 Semipalmated Plovers and even more Leasts but
little else.
