I didn't know if this would reach CayugaBirds. I thought it would be of
interest to many.

Not many gulls left at the Stevenson Rd compost, but I did have on 1cy Iceland
and an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull.
We are setting up trapping crows again, so please stay away from the cage at
the far end.

My thoughts: I wish I'd gotten there sooner. I arrived at noon Monday 29 March
and
found lots of DABBLERS, a pair of TRUMPETER SWANS, a HORNED LARK, a pair
of BALD EAGLES at/on their nest, and a pair of KILLDEER, but no other
shorebirds.
As consolation I saw a pair of OSPREY on the nest
I know this is out-of-basin, but Merlins are very cool.
Has anybody seen either the lower Collegetown pair
or the Cornell Heights/Cayuga Heights pair this year?
I haven't. With Paul Hurtado leaving town we need
someone to adopt these birds and keep us apprised.
