Subject: Re: [NEBirds] Hummingbird feeding on pines? |
Thanks for all the answers!
I'm thinking it was feeding on pine sap.
The birds I have seen eating insects act like a predator- their head is up,
they are moving around and looking around, and when they see food they
pounce on it. Grazers are stationary and focused on the food in front of
them, on one spot. They eat the food at one spot then move to another.
This hummingbird was acting like a grazer.
After I read the replies I went back out and looked at the pine tree. The
shoots of new growth all had tiny puddles of pine sap at the end of the
branch at the hub of the needles. I think that's what the bird was after.
It's always fun seeing something new outdoors.

Hummers will feed on very small insects to maintain a balanced diet. They
also will feed them to young in the nest. Fun to watch as they snatch gnats
from mid-air. I'd bet they were after small insects or pollen in/near pine
flowers.

Paul, hummingbirds eat small insects as well as nectar. It is probably finding some on the needles. They will also catch insects in the air. Kathy DeLaraMitchell, NESent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

I don't know about hummingbirds and pine trees, but we have a Downy
Woodpecker who keeps coming back to the oranges!
I see a lot of birds at our feeders experimenting with unexpected varieties
of food or seed.

Chip,
The U. of Nebraska State Museum in Lincoln is the main research museum in the state, but I am not sure if they are taking specimens. On another note, we recently installed stickers from CollidEscape on windows at the college where I work in Pella. Iowa. Art students designed the images, and they turned out stunning. I can send photos if interested. They completely cover the reflective surface on the outside of the window, stopping bird collisions. But you can still see through them from the inside. Ours extended up for two stories. Another option is sheets of white dots from Feather Friendly. While the isolated hawk outline stickers do little good, several effective options are available for both residential and commercial buildings. Happy to talk if you are interested. Russ.

Here are a couple of photos of a bird that hit a window at work today. Its uniformly greenish above and yellow below, with an orangish patch on the throat.
On a related note, is there anyone in the Omaha area that can use deceased birds, like a college or a museum?

This is a lousy photo shot from the car with a cell phone camera but
my husband and I watched a Pileated Woodpecker for several
minutes peck away at a stump in Dodge Park, north Omaha
around 7:30 this evening. It did show its crown a couple of times.
It was thrilling!

Just to add to the conversation, here’s my photo of a bent bill bird at the same location. In comparison to the shoveler and ibis, not sure it shows the requisite size for a Whimbrel. But I’m not thinking Dowitcher either. ’m open to alternative interpretations. For now I’m taking it off e-bird.

Subject: [NEBirds] Whimbrel NOT
Larry E, John S, and myself got caught up in the moment and we were actually looking at what I believe to be a LB Dowitcher with a strangely curved bill. With the sun and our desire and imagination I manage to fall into this trap. I have attached a photo of the deceptive bird bird and bill. Got so carried away I just did not go through the double check.
My apologies.

The creek was blanketed by Swainson's Thrushes this morning, one of the biggest numbers I've ever experienced--and many singing. AND around 5 singing Gray-Cheeked Thrushes. AND a singing Veery south of pond. Really cool to hear all the songs. Some warblers came in last night, but not a ton.

Subject: [NEBirds] lazuli bunting 1.5 miles SE of Valentine |
This is the first of this species I have ever seen in the Niobrara Valley, despite many years here in the 80s, and more recently. Neither have I seen a Bullock's oriole. Has anyone seen either species east of Valentine in the Niobrara Valley? I imagine that increased tree growth in the valley has continued to favor their eastern counterparts.
I will add that recently burned areas are very attractive to small seed-eaters. After a spring burn of my little prairie here near Valentine I had hundreds of chipping and clay-colored sparrow foraging on it, and probably other species that I didn't see or don't remember. Unburned or "toasted" seeds lay available for easy access.

Thanks Thane, I'll get the shrike added. Good luck on finding the plover,
they can be hard to see this time of year. Don't give up. I think
Crescent lake roads should be ok, I don't think they got a lot of
rain, but I'm not sure. I'll be out of town from Thursday though
Sunday so won't be finding any new birds around here over the
weekend. Have fun! Kathy

through Lake Crescent if roads are okay then swing up around Chadron,
Sowbelly, then come down through Gering and Kimball area Fri-Sun. I

So far we have 174 species! But I'm sure there will be some

soon as you can, I'd like to have them all before May 11th. I will

Looks like you all had a great weekend. Wish I could have made it.

I've talked to some other neighbors, and they've noticed this too. No swallows around this year.
I've been reading some articles on the Internet about swallows becoming endangered. But they seemed to refer to swallows in the "maritime" areas, and I'm not sure they were referring to the "barn swallows" we have here in Nebraska.

I too was wondering about that. There is a nest in our office building here in Omaha that is also empty. I saw a few about two weeks ago checking out the old nest and was happy that they were back. But they are gone now and have not been back since.

Wow, that's very disturbing news that a species you've had on your farm your entire life has suddenly gone missing! A good chunk of the eastern third of Neb. has suffered from drought ranging from severe to extreme to exceptional for over 2 years now and many creeks and farm ponds here in our area have dried up for the first time in my life and I'm not much younger than you. The recent rains have been so welcome! Have you lost any ponds or creeks to drought in your area recently? If so, the food source for an insectivore like Barn Swallow may be gone or greatly reduced. Also the avian flu is taking a toll on wild birds but I don't know which species are being hit the hardest.

Subject: [NEBirds] Barn swallows have vanished! |
I'm a farmer in Northeast Nebraska. I'm 69, and for the first time ever, there are no barn swallows on my farm.
None have come back this year to their usual nests in my barn.
As long as I can remember, they were always regular show-ups this time of year. But this year, none. Zero. Zip.
I've talked to some other neighbors, and they've noticed this too. No swallows around this year.
I've been reading some articles on the Internet about swallows becoming endangered. But they seemed to refer to swallows in the "maritime" areas, and I'm not sure they were referring to the "barn swallows" we have here in Nebraska.
Just wondering if any others here have noticed this, and what (if anything) lies behind it.

Add Loggerhead shrike for Lancaster for me. I got it on the road between
stops for my field trip. Field trip report is here. I also made a quick
stop in Cass but I believe that county was not included.
https://ebird.org/tripreport/232239
Also got some nice scissortail pics. Our group was the first to check that
spot but I think every group ended up going there.
I'll be out your way this upcoming weekend. I have to go to CO for
something. I was planning on going through Lake Crescent if roads are okay
then swing up around Chadron, Sowbelly, then come down through Gering and
Kimball area Fri-Sun. I think I'll be too early for hummingbirds and sage
thrasher but hoping to get mountain plover as a new life bird.
Thanks,
Thane

Subject: [NEBirds] Snowy Plover (and Whimbrel!) at Lake North/Babcock |
This is setting up to be a fantastic weekend of birding for the NOU meeting and kickoff to the Birding Bowl! It’s already ON with all the warblers popping up everywhere.
Thane Dinsdale and I drove out to Lake North/Babcock near Columbus (Platte County) after work to look for the Snowy Plover reported by Dennis Kruse Thurs. AM 5/2. On our first loop on the east side, we saw a group of 11 willets with one Ruddy Turnstone that came up as rare. Not much farther down we found that cute little Snowy Plover in breeding plumage walking the gravel. State bird for both of us and life bird for me. 4 sanderlings near the corner to the west causeway. On the second loop the willets and turnstone were no longer there, so we missed getting a pic of the RUTU. On the third loop, we had a lone avocet on the west causeway. On the 4th loop, while looking at the sanderlings in the corner, Thane saw a large shorebird with a curved bill fly in and land on the causeway. Whimbrel!! We got a good enough look and a couple of pics before it flew down the road to the north past a group of Franklin’s gulls. A pickup went past us and spooked the whole flock of FRGU and the Whimbrel flew off and to the west over the lake, not to be seen again. Very unexpected state bird for both and a very unexpected lifer for me. 45 species for our trip list on eBird.

I can’t wait to see what pops up around Lincoln this weekend! Blue-winged Warbler is on my wish list…

There have been some questions as to which counties will be included in the
final tally for the NOU meeting in Lincoln this weekend. While not all of
them will be covered by organized field trips, any of the counties abutting
Lancaster including Butler could be added to the list.
So anyone attending the meeting could list all the birds they observed in
those counties Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
We're looking forward to seeing many of you this weekend.

We've had a good amount of rain this past week or so, and could have more Friday night. Fields are wet, trails can be muddy or full of puddles. I'd advise wearing your rubber boots etc, and bringing a spare pair of footwear for the hotel so we can keep their floors clean. I've loved having my rubber boots on all week! Had eight warblers in town today!

Rachel, "most enthralled and least skilled"?? We can relate! Relatively poor knowledge of imm. RSHA plumage leaves us ignorant about the white wing bars thing but your excellent documentation of that duo's behavior, the tail band pattern on immature, the identical size when copied and pasted side by side (example below), and the current date is conclusive evidence your resident adult has mated with a 1-year-old, an unusual situation! RSHAs are said to "generally" breed at 2 years when they reach adult plumage. If not for the prey that your prairie is providing, along with your keen powers of observation, that adult's mating status would have remained a mystery! On a couple occasions (the first time being Dec. 7 shortly after you discovered the adult) we heard what sounded like a back and forth between 2 RSHAs but couldn't confirm it. Thanks for that very exciting news!

Definitely not warbling vireos.
My FOY lark sparrow showed up here near Valentine only yesterday. I have at least a half dozen in the yard along with some chipping and clay-colored. I see little flocks of sparrows in a few places that are probably mostly composed of the latter two species. Also my FOY western kingbird heard in Valentine today. The season (cottonwoods not leafed out yet, and other things) and birds are a week or two later here than in eastern Nebraska.

It's difficult to tell bill length from these photos, but Warbling Vireo
doesn't have as distinct of an eye ring, and lacks the faint streaking on
the breast that you can see on these birds. I agree that they're all
Orange-crowned Warblers.

These all look like photos of orange-crowned warblers. Being somewhat
variable between age and sex orange-crowns can be confusing. Overall they
have a greenish hue that spreads well into the underbody and undertail
coverts, and have hints of slightly darker streaks on the breast and
flanks. On a Tennessee warbler the undertail coverts are always white, and
while the amount of greenish tint on the breast is variable, but mostly
whitish, it does not show darker streaks. Good photos by the way.

Subject: [NEBirds] Good migrants around Kearney |
Hi all,
There have been quite a few migrants moving through Buffalo County lately (like the rest of the state), so weve been trying to get out in our free time to see what is passing through. Perhaps nothing exemplified this movement more than an Osprey we found west of Kearney on Saturday sitting on a wire over an agricultural field a good ways away from any water always an odd bird to see out of context!
On Sunday, we had good groups of sparrows and Myrtle [Yellow-rumped] Warblers moving through on the southeast side of town along the hike-bike trail, with four species of sparrow in the same small bush at one point (Lark, Clay-colored, Chipping, and White-crowned). In total, we had 9 species of sparrow along that short walk, adding Field, Harriss, White-throated, Song, and Lincolns in the nearby trees and bushes. Perhaps our best bird was a singing Carolina Wren, an uncommon and local bird in these parts.
Today, I decided to walk to work and was almost immediately rewarded with a singing male Audubons [Yellow-rumped] Warbler and a Blue-headed Vireo on the southwest side of UNKs campus. Good numbers of Clay-colored, Chipping, and White-crowned Sparrows were also present in the area. Ive also been repeatedly having Pine Siskins near the Frank House museum that looked like they may have been courting today, so hopefully they will try to nest. (Robin Harding said they have nested near here in the past!)
To wrap up the day, I went out to where the hike-bike trail crosses the Platte River to try to relocate a White-eyed Vireo found by Barbara Brown this morning (as far as I know, a first county record for Buffalo!). Caroline, Gracie (my dog), and I ran into Robin Harding and Cody McGregor while there and ended up searching together. We were initially unsuccessful but did manage to find a Palm Warbler along the Platte (possibly the same bird reported by Randy Skaggs over the weekend). Just as we were about to leave, we heard a phrase from the vireo near the Kilgore Road parking lot and we were soon rewarded by great views of this furtive White-eyed Vireo.
Photos (of varying quality!) available on their respective eBird lists.
Good birding,
JC

Nebraska birders,
Thanks to Andrew Furman and Barbara Brown for reporting the White-eyed
Vireo on the Fort Kearny Hike/Bike Trail. Thanks to Jacob Cooper, Caroline
and Cody for helping me hear and see the bird. It was an excellent view.
It was just north of the parking lot at the Kilgore Road dead end. It is a
life bird for me. Hooray!

Subject: [NEBirds] Franklin/Harlan/Furnas/Gosper |
Nebraska birders,
Bill Flack and I birded together on Saturday, April 27. We started with
very nice weather at Macon Lakes WPA in Franklin County. Most of the
species that we saw were not unusual but many of them were the first for
this year. All of today’s birds have been entered onto ebird.
A Bobwhite magically appeared on the road shortly after we passed by her
location. She was just sitting, motionless, on the side of the road. When
another vehicle passed by her, she flew along with another Bobwhite who
flushed from the ditch.
At a Prairie Dog town a few miles south of Macon, we saw a Loggerhead
Shrike.
At Harlan County Reservoir, in Gremlin Cove, we walked in the campground.
We saw Purple Martins using a martin house. An Osprey flew over, giving us
an excellent view. We actually had a nice look at a Warbling Vireo singing
its song.
On the reservoir’s spillway structure, Cliff Swallows were active at their
mud nests. Below the dam at the canoe launch on the north side, we saw a
beautiful Audubon’s Yellow-rumped Warbler. His throat was bright yellow,
his sides were black and his wing coverts had much more white than I am
accustomed to seeing on Yellow-rumped Warblers.
We walked the River Edge Trail below the dam. We were pleased to see and
hear a couple Great Crested Flycatchers. We heard a few towhees but did
not see them. We saw a Rough-winged Swallow visit a hole in the river
bank. We also saw a couple Black-capped Chickadees.
We carefully drove slowly back and forth across the bridge south of Alma a
few times. There was little traffic so we paused a few times to look at
birds. We spotted Willets, Godwits, Franklin’s Gulls, Avocets and Ibises.
It was very cool.
We stopped along a road south of Orleans to look at a large flock of
blackbirds. There were mostly Brown-headed Cowbirds and Yellow-headed
Blackbirds but we thought there was a Brewer’s among them so we studied
them for a while. Finally we saw one male and one female Brewer’s
Blackbird. There were also some Cattle Egrets.
In Furnas County, at the Southern Valley wastewater pond, we saw many
phalaropes but they all appeared to be Wilson’s. We also saw a flock of
dowitchers. For a while they were flying around the pond and calling.
They sounded like Long-billed Dowitchers.
We drove through Gosper County on the way back and found another Loggerhead
Shrike.
Bill and I each added species to our Nebraska county lists. In Harlan,
Bill’s new birds were Willet, Long-billed Dowitcher and White-faced Ibis.
For me, they were Willet, Marbled Godwit, Brewer’s Blackbird. In Furnas,
Bill’s new bird was the Great-tailed Grackle. For me, they were
Great-tailed Grackle and Long-billed Dowitcher. In Gosper County,
Loggerhead Shrike was new for Bill.

Ebird updated a lot of their pages. Things are generally more centered
around month lists and totals now. The region and hotspot pages in
particular look quite a bit different. From what I understand the web
version is more impacted than the app version. You may have to click
around a lot more to find some stuff. Personally I'm not a fan.
This announcement has an overview of some of the changes:

Hi Tim,
I’ve noticed this too with the reformatted eBird pages. Depending on your purpose for wanting more checklists, one possibility is to go to Explore, Species Maps, and type in a very common species such as Northern Cardinal, and filter the map (for example) for April, Current Year. There will be a multitude of red markers, possibly including all checklists, since it’s unusual to miss a cardinal in eastern Nebraska. You could click on a hotspot, for example Pioneers Park-Densmore Access, and see numerous checklists.
Otherwise, it will depend on what you are looking for as to how you might go about finding the checklists you need.

Subject: [NEBirds] migration! |
Friday and Saturday brought lots of new arrivals to my yard -- Swainson's Thrush, Brown Thrashers, House Wren, a Baltimore Oriole, Yellow-rumped and Orange-crowned Warblers, a good grouping of sparrows -- Chipping, Clay-colored, White-crowned and White-throated, Lincolns. And overhead, Chimney Swifts, a couple Purple Martins and Barn Swallows. So I thought it was worth a short drive. A few miles north of Hastings at a flooded field and adjacent prairie plot, I had first of year Eastern (1) and Western (2) Kingbirds, plus a Loggerhead Shrike. In a loose flock of mixed blackbirds (redwings, grackles, cowbirds and yellow-headed) were at least 120 Brewer's Blackbirds. Several flocks of Am White Pelicans flew over, a couple hundred Franklin's Gulls, plus at least a dozen Swainson's Hawks in ones and twos. At the newish ponds just south of the town's energy plant was a tight group of 38 Willets with 1 Marbled Godwit. Nothing rare or out of season, but really nice to see stuff on the move!

Oh, and Friday night I did hear a Barn Owl call its distinctive, raspy scream, three times, right outside my house around 10 pm. I seldom see that bird in Adams Co, or, frankly, anywhere.

Thank you Gordon and Shari for the reply! Also, I wanted to pass along that Shari let me know that an expert took a look and agreed with the immature Red-shouldered Hawk id and thought 'it has to be a one-year-old given the date.'
I've continued to see the mature Red-shouldered Hawk (presumably same bird that has been around since December) occasionally, but the 1-2 times I've seen a second hawk at the same time it has been in flight and disappeared from view before I could get a closer look.

Subject: Re: [NEBirds] Fog victim |
We found a "grounded" pied-billed grebe where I volunteer in NM this last winter. Grebes can't take flight from the ground, partly because of their legs being positioned so far back on their bodies. We took the grebe to a body of water where it took a good drink and began swimming and diving and behaving naturally.
On Sunday, April 21, 2024, 10:24:56 PM CDT, N Drilling <dril0008...> wrote:
This morning I went south of Kimball to try to find the Mountain Plovers reported there. I had to wait until the fog lifted - overnight there was snow, then heavy fog. I found a Western Grebe sitting in a grass field, certainly not its usual habitat. It was sitting up and alert but making no attempt to flap its wings or move. I'm assuming that the overnight weather caused the bird to be in this bad predicament, but I'm not sure if it was grounded by the fog or if it ran into nearby telephone wires in the fog.
I eventually found a pair of Mountain Plovers, at the intersection of Highway 71 and Road 12. One of the birds kept wiggling around in the same spot, suggesting that she was creating a depression in the soil to lay her eggs, similar to the nesting habits of Killdeer.
The other unusual sighting for the day was a small flock of Red-breasted Mergansers at Bridgeport State Rec Area in Morrill county. This is much farther west than where they usually are found. The species hadn't been reported in the county to eBird since 2013 and never reported to eBird at this particular spot.
All on eBird.

Subject: [NEBirds] Buffalo County Migrants |
Hi all,
Cody McGregor & I went out for what was supposed to be a short jaunt today, but ended up staying out too long as we kept encountering interesting birds.
We started out SW of Gibbon, where we found a surprise flock of 40 Savannah Sparrows and, not far away, a group of 45 American Pipits. Continuing onto Kilgore Road W of Hwy 10, we had four Loggerhead Shrikes including one bird carrying nesting material.
We then visited the Kearney Hike-Bike Trail, where Barbara Brown and Colleen Childers had previously reported Long-billed Dowitchers and Wilsons Phalaropes, and we successfully found both. While heading to a nearby gas station for some much-needed food, we saw a weird group of pigeons flying along the Platte River that ended up being a group of American Golden-Plovers (40-ish) flying with some actual Rock Pigeons. Unfortunately, these birds disappeared quickly and we were unable to refind them. Visiting the Bassway Gravel Ponds, we located several Bairds Sandpipers, Semipalmated Sandpipers, and a single Piping Plover.
From here, we picked up Codys sister, Kyla (may be misspelled), and headed north on Gibbon Road. Here, we had three Swainsons Hawks and Cody spotted two Ferruginous Hawks as they quickly headed off to the north. Perhaps the best hawk on this road, however, was a beautiful roadside Kriders Red-tailed Hawk. We also had good looks at a Says Phoebe at the Prairie-Dog town on this road.
Elsewhere in northeastern Buffalo County, we chanced upon a few other good birds like a pair of Bobwhite, a far-off flying flock of 8 Sandhill Cranes (our only cranes all day!), a Great Horned Owl on the nest (great spot by Cody!), 10 Greater Prairie-Chickens, and a few other migrants like Orange-crowned Warbler, Spotted Towhee, and Field Sparrow.
Heres hoping the west winds tomorrow push some more good birds our way,
JC

Thanks Gordon for breaking a trail on that limb and boosting the nerve of a hawk non-expert such as myself to go even further out on it!
Rachel there might be a few photos in the batch that reveal plumage patterns confirming your initial immature Red-shouldered Hawk suspicions. Adult RSHAs have that distinctive patch of black & white horizontal stripes on the lower part of their folded wing and the field guides show immature birds having that same pattern in brown which appears to be visible on photo #5 in your sequence and also the last photo. Also the tail bands visible in photo #3 and #7 look the right width for RSHA even narrowing in width and spacing near the top like Sibley shows for imm. RSHAs. Maybe an actual hawk expert can take that ball and run with it...

Subject: [NEBirds] Kearney Co. Chickens |
Nebraska birders,
On Friday, April 19, I heard Greater Prairie-Chickens booming to the south
of my place, which is in north central Kearney County. There is prairie
out there and I have seen and heard chickens in the past. I was getting
ready to go to work so I had no time to look for them that morning. The
next morning, I did not hear them but I took a walk from my place to look
for the chickens. It was cold but only a light breeze from the north. The
wind increased, making the walk back uncomfortable.
I walked south along 34th Road. The road quickly becomes minimum
maintenance and then just a track. There is cropland but also a lot of
prairie. I heard and saw many sparrows, including Field, Harris’s,
Clay-colored, Savanna, Chipping, White-crowned and Vesper. Unfortunately,
there were also many Brown-headed Cowbirds. There was one Northern
Harrier, a couple Northern Bobwhite and a few Brown Thrashers among the
usual birds. I saw/heard four Ring-necked Pheasants but no Greater
Prairie-Chickens.
I entered it all onto ebird.
Robin Harding

That's funny. I had a dream I saw the first lark sparrow of the year here near Valentine, but I have not yet. Maybe today!
