Subject: Calliope Delaware Ohio
Our Calliope has appeared this am. Yesterdays behaviors includes; episodes
of preening, courtship practice runs that allowed to us to observe his
accent up to 70 or so feet then diving back down to arise again for
another run.
He continues to feed frequently at both feeders now and is expanding his
territorial presence in our yard. For the past two days he aggressively
chases and stands his ground in the honey locus, which up until now has
been the neighborhood hang out for the chickadees, morning doves, nut
hatches, various woodpeckers, among others, to await my daily feeding
service.
He also seems to be feasting in delight on the many flying insects that do
not elude his presence. At on point and time he easily remained perched on
the wire and would flick his tongue as the insects entered his terrain.
Needless to say he is where the food and shelter are plentiful. Why leave?
Now that is the ultimately question. I continue to gather data on behavior
patterns and environment conditions as he remains. This valuable data
hopefully will allow us in the future to be better stewards and a catalyst
for this species survival and for all our avian neighbors.

This email contains summaries of of troves of fall raptor records from
the east coast, which should be of great interest for hawk counters
here. You can get an idea about the role of weather for migrants, as
well as the larger changes in their numbers over many years.

Subject: Tundra swanns - geauga co
There are around 40 tundra swans on LaDue Reservoir. Thirty were here when I arrived a few minutes ago, and the rest just flew in. You can hear them, gently murmering.

Subject: Long-tailed Duck at Hoover Reservoir
I just spotted a male LONG-TAILED DUCK at Hoover Reservoir, northern
Franklin County. The bird was visible with a scope from the Walnut Boat
Ramp off Sunbury Road, which is just north of the Walnut Street & Sunbury
Road intersection. This individual was swimming around with a mixed group
of ducks, and spent lots of time with the Buffleheads. Easily identified
with its long tail, white crown and dark cheeks. It was present when I left
at 1:00 PM. Happy Birding!

Yep First Kiptopeake watch 1936 with an outline of how raptors
numbers have changed. Before 1940, and vulture was a rarity. Much
comparison to Cape May but the dynamics really are quite different.
Cape May is ocean side while Kipto is bay side with several miles
land, marsh and barrier islands between the hawk watch. Many birds do
go down the east side only to return north on the bay side to be
counted. Very interested is the differences in wind direction, the
difference between a good day and a poor one, between the to stations.
Kiptopeake however is an amazing funnel for migrants of many kinds.
There is an on going jaeger count there this fall, all three species.
Earlier in the season, Wood Stork, Roseate Spoonbill, Cave Swallows,
White-winged Dove and more were turned up. Neat was the time several
years ago when a vagrant Zone-tailed Hawk passed Cape May southbound.
Kiptopeak was alert, and about an hour later it was seen passing
there!

Subject: Re: Long-tailed Duck at Hoover Reservoir
I saw the Long-tailed Duck about 2:32, from the parking area near the Walnut
Bike Trail, south of the Walnut Boat Ramp. I was scoping the raft of ducks
when a boat came by and flushed the entire raft. I tried to relocate them
for about an hour and a half. The Buffleheads came down within scope sight
of the Walnut Boat Ramp, but I was unable to relocate the others, and they
appeared to have flown over the bridge and into Delaware County. There was
a very distant raft of ducks visible from the Galena Boardwalk (Area M
mudflats?), but it was too distant to identify.

Subject: Brant at Dillon State Park Beach - Muskingum County
Jamie Boyd alerted me a little after 5:00 PM today that his friend Lori had
found a Brant near the swimming beach at Dillon State Park. I was very close
and got there in time to get good looks at it, as it was only a little ways
off shore. Pictures that I got are not of high quality since the light
conditions were not good at 5:15-5:30 PM, but Jamie and I both got pictures
and Lori watched it from close range for quite some time before Jamie and I
got there. I will check out the area again in the early morning when there
is some daylight to see if it is still hanging around.
