I think they started 2 days ago. Have had several busy periods in that time. I hope they stick with it. I need to plant some tiny tree seedlings under the drip line of that tree. Hope it won’t disturb them too much. Sheffield Road, Ithaca/Enfield town line.

[cayugabirds-l] crows nesting
What I assume are two of our Yard crows have been working on a nest for about a week. It's approx. 60-70 feet up in a white pine and I can see parts of the nest from our kitchen. Earlier today, one carried a mouthful of twigs to the site, then repeated this. They took a break for a couple hours and just now I watched one gathering coarse dead grass from the Yard. After taking a wad of this to the nest, it dropped down and got another mouthful; but spit this out. It walked to another spot, pulled up another mouthful, and spit that out too. It finally got a small wad of what appeared to be the center stem from hickory leaves(which it was under), and delivered that to the nest. This seems a little early, but what do I know?

Re: [cayugabirds-l] crows nesting
Not too early...Kevin found a crow on Yellow Barn road incubating this past weekend and there are crows building all over Cayuga Heights. The family at the end of Sapsucker Woods Rd and Hanshaw is probably nearing completion of their nest. The peak of many years for starting incubation is about 5 April. However, they often build well before starting incubation--cradle before baby. That said...we are particularly interested in nests in rural areas. Anyone who has one, please send Kevin or I locations, off list, especially if we can band the nestlings. ALSO, anyone seeing tagged birds in their yards, or building anywhere--a note please! We lost about 70+ tagged or known birds during the last two summers (Aug-October), due to West Nile virus and we expect our younger survivors (2-4 year olds--red, grey or dark green tags) to have lots of breeding opportunities.
