[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: [birders] Reminder: Crane Creek's Magee Marsh on Sun., May 18, 6 am to mid afternoon From: Karen Markey <ylime(AT)umich.edu> Date: 16 May 2008 5:40am --Apple-Mail-104-695374840 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit On Sunday, May 18, I am leading a Washtenaw Audubon Society (WAS)- sponsored field trip to Crane Creek State Park, particularly the Magee Marsh Wildlife area. (See Ken Kauffman's blog for daily summaries of birds at the park.) We will meet at Busch's at the Plymouth Green shopping center on southwest corner of Plymouth Rd. and US-23 (on the far northeast side of Ann Arbor) at 6 am sharp (exit 41 on US-23) where we will consolidate into fewer cars (if people want to). We may stop at Metzger Marsh on the drive to Crane Creek. You can also meet our group at Crane Creek's Magee Marsh Wildlife Area at 8:15 am at the "Warbler Display." Return to Southeastern Michigan at your leisure (or when your driver wants to return). Please pack lunches, snacks, and drinks because there are NO fast food options past Oregon, about 15 miles west of Crane Creek. Dress for the weather. According to the meteorologists at channel 13 in Toledo, Sunday should be sunny with highs in the mid 60s and chance of showers. For the latest Toledo-area weather including an animated predictor that tells what is likely to happen later in that and the following day, go to http://abclocal.go.com/ wtvg/: click on "Weather" > click on "7-Day Forecast" > click on "Watch video." Mornings can be chilly at Magee Marsh, and northeast winds can make it downright cold because the air comes directly over the lake. I would like to get an estimate of the number of people who are considering this trip and the number of people who would want to drive. Please RSVP to this message (karen.markey AT umich.edu) or call me at home, 734-662-7576, and leave a message on my answering machine if I'm not home to answer the phone. Also you can call me if you have questions about the trip. You do not have to RSVP to come on this trip -- just show up at Busch's at 6 am or to the Magee Marsh Warbler display at 8:15 am. Non- members of WAS are always welcome on this and on other WAS-sponsored field trips. See you Sunday for a wonderful trip! * * * * * * * * * * * * * Karen Markey Professor School of Information, 304 West Hall, 1085 S. Univ.

[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: [birders] Mallard incubation questions From: Kendra Pyle <dreamweaver(AT)buffalodreaming.com> Date: 16 May 2008 6:23am Hi all, We have a mallard duck that is nesting right near our cohousing parking lot. She isn't getting disturbed, since the parking spaces right in front of her have been blocked off. I've read that incubation is 26-30 days. She seemed to be off the nest quite a bit in the beginning and the eggs didn't feel warm to the touch when she was off the nest. My question is: how long can she be off the nest at any given time without harming the egg development? Also, if the eggs did get too "cold" in the beginning and aren't viable, how long will she continue to sit on them past when they "should" hatch? Answers can be sent to me at dreamweaver at buffalodreaming dot com. Thanks! --Kendra On 5/16/08 12:07 AM, "about birding/birdwatching in southeast Michigan and vicinity digest" <birders(AT)listserver.itd.umich.edu> wrote: > Digest prepared for dreamweaver(AT)buffalodreaming.com > BIRDERS Digest for Thursday, May 15, 2008. > > 1.

From: "Bruce McCulloch" <flavus94(AT)yahoo.com> Date: 16 May 2008 8:44am After birding,with limited success,the riparian area along Tonquish Creek in Canton as part of the Home Turf Project, I saw a beautiful singing blackburnian warbler and a female black-and-white warbler both working the honey locust on my neighbor's boulevard. My first bay-breasted warbler of the year soon followed in the protected area behind the house. If you can't make it out of town, don't overlook the urban areas!

[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: [birders] Feeding Orioles - Female Hummers From: Melissa Pappas <ftknoxfox53(AT)yahoo.com> Date: 16 May 2008 7:50am We use Perky Pet 4 fountain hummingbird feeders (without the bee guards) this time of year for both the orioles and the returning hummers. The orioles can easily feed from the ports and we have a very large, noisy contingent of both male and female orioles this year having no problem emptying the feeders at quite a clip. I have never had much success with the feeders specifically designed for orioles. Orioles do love oranges (and orange suet) and grape jelly. If you can figure out a way to provide either of those items, you may be able to add to your chances of attracting them. I've had luck with cutting oranges in half and impaling them on trees (broken branches along the trunk of a cedar do quite well.) Very happy to report that we have several female hummingbirds returning. It appears that the dominant female from the past several years has returned to her favorite feeder in our back yard. Obviously, I can never be certain that this is the same bird (even if she is banded), but I'd like to think that she's the one. This bird has some very distinctive actions that I've never observed in other hummers.
