[cayugabirds-l] Bluebirds

I had a wonderful treat this morning. I spotted a large group of bluebirds land in the maple tree by the road. They flew off quickly, with a few coming in closer on the Beech tree. I went to the sunroom on the south side of the house and my hunch was right. They were after the winterberries.

I've been studying a partly crippled Common Grackle at my feeders over the past few days. One of its wings trails along the ground as it moves, but it can fly short distances to perch on a branch. It arrived along with a large mixed flock of starlings and cowbirds but stayed on after they flew

Re: [cayugabirds-l] CayugaRBA PEREGRINE FALCON atop Holiday

I was heading toward City Hall for the second time today. The first time I had set off the metal detector because I forgot I was wearing binoculars, so I made an exception to my rule always to carry binoculars when going outside during daylight. That's when I saw a large falcon fly across Green

I just returned from a long walk on the eastern portion of the east Ithaca Recreation Way. As I reached my half-way point at Judd Falls Road I heard the four-note call of a Northern Saw-whet Owl repeated several times. I returned to my cay and drove back to Maple Ave, parking in the
