[cayugabirds-l] Northern Shrike on Freese Road, northeast Ithaca

A little over an hour ago I had a Northern Shrike along Freese Road. The bird was moving east, stopping in the crown of each of the two lonely trees in the field across from Dyce Lab before continuing on. tss -- Thomas S. Schulenberg Research Associate Cornell Lab of Ornithology 159 Sapsucker

[cayugabirds-l] Siskins

I meant to post yesterday, but forgot...I haven't seen any Siskin postings recently. We still have a few at our feeders. Yesterday we had 3 when I first looked outside at 8 or so, and there were 3 around again this morning as well. Both times with the flock of Goldfinches that frequent the

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Siskins

[cayugabirds-l] Woodcock...finally

[cayugabirds-l] Active housing seekers!

John I put up a new bluebird box on the clothesline arm late yesterday. This a.m. the first inspection was done by our local, prospective, bluebird couple. They only have 5 other boxes from which to choose but this is a new style maybe the house sparrows will not like its light interior.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Stony Point Bohemian Waxwings
