Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snow geese and bald Eagles

2021-03-17 Thread Nancy Cusumano 
They were all heading north as we were leaving, like half as many on the water 
as wine we arrived. Will the come back south again tomorrow, or keep goin? 
Anyone want to guess?

It was a truly amazing sight and sounds. The amount of birds in the air at any 
one time made it look like the sky was fluttering.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Redpolls polls and a science question

2021-03-17 Thread Peter Saracino 
Hi Anne.
Great questions.
Don't know about redpolls but I just read today ( Sibley's "What Its Like
To Be A Bird") that with chickadees the birds, themselves, can tell make
from female because the black bib on the males fluoresce more deeply than
on the female.
Trouble is, THAT is something OUR brains aren't wired to see.

40+ bald eagles being seen along the Seneca river viewed from the Morgan Rd DEC 
office in Seneca Falls.

50,000 snow geese in a raft on Cayuga Lake viewed from the State Park boat 
launch.

TONS of divers and tundra swans too
