[cayugabirds-l] gobbling

2011-02-06 Thread Geo Kloppel
I can't remember any mention of gobbling yet, but it's been going on at my place every morning for about a week. I've also heard Ruffed Grouse drumming. No Redpolls at my feeders lately, but I do see them overhead occasionally. About 30 went over this morning. -Geo -- Cayugabirds-L

I've had a SONG SPARROW coming to my feeder here on Boiceville Road (Brooktondale) for the past week. I also had one REDPOLL coming to the feeder until I put my thistle feeder back out yesterday. Word spread among the Redpolls and I counted at least 29 in the yard today. Annette Nadeau

An EASTERN SCREECH-OWL exited the nest box in our yard in northeast Ithaca at 5:48 PM on Sunday evening. The owl buzzed with rapid wingbeats straight to a bare willow bough, then perched, completely exposed, for a couple of minutes. This must have been my first decent look at the back and tail
