[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Rt 96a / Woodworth Rd. / Geneva (OOB)

After being absent for the past week, the SNOWY OWL near Rt. 96a in Geneva is back as of this morning. It was about 100 yds behind #3579 Rt. 96a. For those making the trek, it's worth swinging by the Geneva Yacht Club as well since there is a BALD EAGLE that is often soaring in the vicinity (it

Ah! I now see David Diaz has beaten me to the punch. The owl I saw today was the lighter one. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm

[cayugabirds-l] Song Sparrow

Just had our first SONG SPARROW of the year pop into our yard. The early migrants must be moving in. As I recall, red-winged blackbirds have been known to show up near the end of February, so before you know it, they will appear! Larry -- W. Larry Hymes

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Song Sparrow

There was a flock of 50 almost certainly red-winged blackbirds humming north over Mays Point on Sat..  They were not starlings or grackles, but I was not close enough for a positive ID.   S. Fast On Tuesday, February 25, 2014 10:40 AM, W. Larry Hymes w...@cornell.edu wrote: Just had our

[cayugabirds-l] Weekend ducks

Sorry for the late post. After seeing Tim Lenz's EURASIAN GREEN-WINGED (Common) TEAL at the south end of Seneca Lake on Sunday, Livia and I checked out the Aythya flock in the southwest corner of Cayuga Lake. Highlight was dozens of AMERICAN WIGEON (over 70!), two GREEN-WINGED TEAL (just American,

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Peregrine -thanks

I was walking back from the lake, where I found no new or unusual waterfowl, and was south of the Children's Garden in Cass Park when I decided to have a look at Bradfield Hall, which was in bright sun through cold clear air, i.e. optimal viewing conditions. Using binoculars I saw a suspicious

[cayugabirds-l] Geneva Waterfront - Monday - Canvasback x Redhead, Intersex Mallard

The north end of Seneca Lake is one of my personal-favorite birding destinations in winter. Jim Tarolli and I hit all the waterfront spots in Geneva on Monday, coming up with thousands of Redhead and Canada Geese, at least 100 Canvasback, and an arrival of Wigeon. Birds were at all different

Dave, I think yard bird is the one which flies over or alights within your yard boundary. This would another category! Birds seen from the yard! Meena Haribal Ithaca NY 14850 42.429007,-76.47111 http://haribal.org/ http://meenaharibal.blogspot.com/

My definition of 'yard bird' is what is seen or heard from my yard. I agree with Dave. --Marty -Original Message- From: bounce-112748010-3494...@list.cornell.edu [mailto:bounce-112748010-3494...@list.cornell.edu] On Behalf Of Meena Madhav Haribal Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2014 8:28
