Re: [cayugabirds-l] Red bellied woodpecker nest hole?

[Dave Nutter]

I have seen this behavior, too.  I think it is advertising possession of a nest 
cavity ready to share.

[cayugabirds-l] New Birds

[bob mcguire]

I spent last night at Marten’s Tract in order to record the various ducks 
feeding/courting there. A major bonus of being there in the evening, then at 
first light this morning, was the encounter with several recently-returned 
birds.

An AMERICAN BITTERN called several times from the reeds along the south dike at 
Marten’s. I flushed a WILSON’S SNIPE from the marsh straight east from the 
parking area. There was a SWAMP SPARROW singing along Carncross Road, and four 
GREATER YELLOWLEGS feeding at the edge of the flooded cornfield there.

The most amazing sight was a massive flock of blackbirds that flew over the 
marsh at dusk to roost in the trees along the river next to Howland Island. I 
tried to count as they flew over - and got lost. My best guestimate was 10,000 
birds (which prompted eBird to remark that that was the “high count” for that 
location!)

On the way home this morning I stopped to scan the lake from the Aurora 
Boathouse. Along with some 35 Common Loons, there was a single RED-NECKED GREBE 
fairly far out.

[cayugabirds-l] Salt point Osprey

[John Greenly]

Yesterday, Sunday, late afternoon at Myers- Salt Point,  an Osprey sat for a 
while on each of the two nest boxes.  The bird had a completely unmarked 
breast- male?  It took off heading north last I saw. 

Several Song Sparrows back on territory there, and a flock of at least 100 Tree 
Swallows came over and left heading north along the shore.

Yesterday I saw a red bellied woodpecker on a tree right across from
llenroc on Cornell Ave, very close to the curb on the cemetery side of the

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Rose-breasted Grosbeak

[Asher Hockett]

Hi Matt,

Yes, I think that is very likely, and I probably mis-id'ed this bird. I did
not note the bold markings typical of the female R-b Grosbeak. In my haste
to pin it down I eliminated the House FInch and completely lapsed on the
Purple Finch.
