[cayugabirds-l] Merlins in Trumansburg

A Merlin pair has been noticeable around the upper village during April (single bird first noted on March 16), but it appears that they have not yet begun to nest. For the last several days, they have been doing a lot of vocalizing in the immediate vicinity of my house, on the block bounded by

[cayugabirds-l] Merlins in T’burg

On a walk last evening (April 2) I had a male and female Merlin on treetops within about 200’ in the upper village of Trumansburg close to the conservatory on McLallen St. The female was calling steadily. But sheesh, I just passed my neighbor Marc Devokaitis who reported seeing copulatory

This evening during the thunderstorm I stopped by Cass Park to check on the Merlin nest by the Dog Park and saw three banded fledglings hanging around the trees in the area of the boat launch. They were definitely working on their landing, perching, and flying skills, and being seriously

[cayugabirds-l] Merlins at Treman

Hi All,    The Merlin nest at Treman is in tact with at least two young. Both parents were extremely noisy this afternoon when I visited. More so than any other nest I have observed. I don't know why. John Confer -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

Yesterday evening around 7, while biking up Buffalo St, I heard some strange vocalizations that eventually included some more familiar merlin calls as one bird flew over to a tree at the corner with Schuyler Place. No binoculars so did not see the noisemakers, but the unusualness could be a

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Merlins @ GIAC

About 6:15pm in Cass Park near the Children’s Garden I saw a Merlin flying east toward the general direction of GIAC. It was coming off West Hill somewhere and was well above treetop level when it went over me, but appeared to be descending slightly. Maybe they hunt over a wide area, or maybe

[cayugabirds-l] Merlins @ GIAC

I’m right now listening to and watching two Merlins calling to each other from deciduous trees in the block north of GIAC (Albany and Court) around the swimming pool and field. Saw them copulating I think (no binoculars). Not sure where the nest might be. There might actually be three Merlins

I sure wish you could export some of those Merlins to me up in Auburn. I have tons of House Sparrows for them to eat. Sent from my iPad On Jul 28, 2015, at 10:54 PM, Dave Nutter nutter.d...@me.com wrote: Nestlings may have fledged, but Merlins still have to eat and hunt. Yesterday

*Thanks to assistance from participants in the cayugabirds-l,* Mark Witmer, Maddie Ulinski, and I were able to monitor 7 Merlin nests this spring-summer. The Briarwood Lane nest fledged the third of three nestlings this morning (28 July). Five nests were in Ithaca, one in Dryden and one of

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Merlins galore - thanks

Nestlings may have fledged, but Merlins still have to eat and hunt. Yesterday (Monday 27 July) at 9:32am I was on Meadow Street waiting to turn left onto Buffalo Street by the FastRack gas station when I heard a short succession of unidentified agitated call notes to my left. Immediately afterward

[cayugabirds-l] Merlins

Well I'm hopeless looking for raptor nests. I went by Christopher Lane between 6:30 and 7:00 when I thought would be the best times, and didn't see the Merlin once. Nice that Mark saw it though. I would like to know of other Merlin sightings, please. (Not that I'm going to see it.) John Confer

[cayugabirds-l] Merlins Mating Downtown Ithaca

This was yesterday evening between 5:15-5:30pm, from the front porch of our apartment. We were observing the birds across our street, in the backyards of houses bordered by Hudson, Pleasant, and Prospect St. We heard a very fast,high pitched Ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki- (thought woodpecker at first).
