On Tuesday I attended part of a City of Ithaca Parks Commission meeting to learn about a potential new Osprey platform to be installed in Cass Park near my house. I was surprised to walk in on the tail end of a discussion of hazing geese and banning waterfowl feeding on all City-owned lands.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Morning voices

Before a week ago, I had observed Pileated, Hairy, Downy, Flicker, and Sapsuckers at one point or another (in past years) doing the ‘flicka-flicka’ type interaction where a pair (sometimes M-F, sometimes M-M) were ascending a pole or tree and playing hide-and-seek while doing this vocalization.

A friend in Lansing, on East Shore Circle, saw a male hummingbird on Tuesday evening. It was looking for the feeder which, of course, hadn't been put out yet. It seems way too early for hummingbirds. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

The Western Tanager was enjoying the fruits of a tree in Wee Stinky Glen yesterday morning (March 9) shortly after 9 am, on a branch above the path that goes by the bench near the upper entrance of the Cornell Store. A few photos: https://flic.kr/p/EY3hcB https://flic.kr/p/EY3j9H
