On a brief walk with my dog this morning along the greenway that connects
the Northwood Apartments with Graham Rd., I encountered a large migrant
flock that was mainly comprised of Red-eyed Vireos and Magnolia Warblers. I
counted no fewer than EIGHT Magnolias and FIVE Red-eyes, along with a pair

The Franklin's Gull now is with Ring-billed (mostly) and Herring gulls in
the flooded field along Hanshaw Road, between Warren and Freese roads (but

This summer an invasive plant called HYDRILLA VERTICILLATA was discovered in Cayuga Inlet.
I am told that:
* it grows rapidly
* it clogs waterways preventing boating
* it shades out other species of water plants
* the nearest place it is known is Long Island
* it is not yet in the Great Lakes,
Hi All,
There was a lot of bird activity at the south end of Cayuga Lake
tonight, as viewed by various observers from Hog Hole, Stewart Park, and
East Shore Park. I only saw a subset of the birds, but thought I would
post the collective highlights, since others have not done so yet.
With the heads-up from other reporters, I spent a bit of lunch time on the NW
corner of Wilson Trail.
Without me moving, a mixed flock of warblers, probably 40-50 strong passed
over...slowly! so I had lots of spinning around time, in some cases landing so
close I had to drop the glasses to
The dregs of this tropical storm appear to have brought us more than
rain- I was just shown a very clear cell-phone photo of a
SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER perched on a horizontal wire, said to have

really wanted to see a Scissor-Tailed Flycatcher (the state bird!). But I
didn't see one, and I kept not seeing one, and was telling the cab

feeders, I think a pin-tailed wydah. Cool bird.

Ahah, a wydah?? cool indeed, but I think we can therefore safely rule out a
scissor-tailed there too!!
Hmmm, so, the provenance of the photo I was shown My friend said his wife
took it and emailed it to him, but I bet she saw the bird, tried to identify
it and came up with the
