Hi folks. Can any out there tell me if this is a legitimate email from John. It is very similar to one I received recently from another group member. I don't know why she or John would be sending it. Many thanks. Pete Saracino On 6/27/2015 5:01 PM, John Confer wrote: -- *Cayugabirds-L List

Hi Marie, Last year I photographed this robin nest which had been added to for seven seasons. Here is the link. Thought it was pretty unusual at the time. http://www.dianawhitingphotography.com/Galleries/Birds/Passerines/12959449_8PScNT#!i=3321550030k=9LSJhQT Diana Whiting

It had two pictures of a young merlin attached. I think that, since it had no text in the body of the message, save the Cayuga list material, and two attachments, some email programs reacted and stripped the attachments. That seemed to be what Peter's did. Mine came through with clearly .jpg

After morning walks at Hammond Hill State Forest and nearby Finger Lakes Land Trust Park Preserve North, I went home having failed to find any Red-shouldered Hawks, but given the wet weather this did not surprise me. I did find several warblers (CANADA, MAGNOLIA, and BLACKBURNIAN), which were
