[cayugabirds-l] Three trumpeters

2010-04-23 Thread Linda P Van Buskirk
Thursday while on horseback near ponds off West Genesee Street Road/ 
Short Road, Aurelius, we disturbed three trumpeter swans that had 
been on the pond bank.  They circled and headed back towards the 
refuge.  Thanks to the Lab of O, I identified them this morning by 
their calls.  I remember reading about their very limited numbers and 
limited distribution when I was in elementary school in Union 
Springs.  It strikes me as marvelous that I can now see them without 
even searching them out.

[cayugabirds-l] Vultures

2010-04-16 Thread Linda P Van Buskirk

At Little Paine's Creek

Three black vultures
Rest on the bank
Waiting. Waiting.
Suckers are running.

Yesterday there was one
Tomorrow? Perhaps none.

[cayugabirds-l] tufted titmouse--Kennedy

2010-04-12 Thread Linda P Van Buskirk
A tufted titmouse vocalized loudly right outside the Kennedy 211 
windows during class (south side of Kennedy), so I pointed it out to 
my students. Such a tidy and dapper little gentleman.
