[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods Common Redpolls

Hi all, A flock of 30 COMMON REDPOLLS was flying around and landing in trees at the extreme south end of Sapsucker Woods, near Sanctuary Drive. The birds eventually flew off over the neighborhood to the west. - Brad -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

[cayugabirds-l] to reduce double-counting in future counts

Observers should note the time and direction of flyovers, so that duplicate observations of the same bird(s) can be deleted. Instructions should be explicit as to when this rule applies. This suggestion is from John Gregoire, who used it on other counts. --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List

Ok, if you can predict the species that will be migrating on count day, we'll do it. ;^) From: bounce-72556867-3493...@list.cornell.edu [mailto:bounce-72556867-3493...@list.cornell.edu] On Behalf Of nutter.d...@me.com Sent: Friday, January 04, 2013 9:21 AM To: CAYUGABIRDS-L Subject:

RE:[cayugabirds-l] REDPOLLS Finally

My first Redpolls arrived at my feeders today, too!Within a few minutes, however, a sharp-shinned hawk swooped in and chased them all away. Kim Brooktondale From: bounce-72557102-32451...@list.cornell.edu [bounce-72557102-32451...@list.cornell.edu] on

Last night I made of a Google map of the swan flock information reported to the listserv. I updated the trajectories and markers this morning adding some deductive/speculative text. Cayuga Bird Club 2013 CBC Swan flock map (click markers to read text – if you have a Google acct and log in you

[cayugabirds-l] SNOW BUNTINGS

Union Springs: 5 SNOW BUNTINGS feeding along our driveway where grass is uncovered. REDPOLLS now out-number house sparrows gold finches here at the house feeders. I assume it's the other way around up on the hill at the tree feeders. Not complaining. Niger sunflower seed is disappearing

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Swan count for CBC

This discussion has been interesting to “watch” as it has unfolded. I certainly understand the desire folks have to make the counts as accurate as possible. Still, I wonder how all this adjusting of the numbers after-the-fact for just one species, and for just one year, influences the utility

[cayugabirds-l] Snow Buntings and Longspur

Tim found a flock of SNOW BUNTINGS on Central Chapel Road just south of the intersection with 76 Road in Caroline. I went back with binoculars and found one LAPLAND LONGSPUR in the flock of about 40 Snow buntings. The flock is actively foraging on the side of the road. Anne Marie Johnson

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Swan count for CBC

Thanks, Jody, for a really excellent post! Birds have a bad habit of flying! This leads to their having a propensity for being in two or more places nearly at once. Behind the old NCR building on 96B, we flushed a Red-tail. A few minutes later we saw another gliding overhead in the opposite

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Swan count for CBC

Jody, The concept of avoiding double counting is implied in the nature of the CBC, and there is a spectrum in the level of attentiveness in avoiding double counting for different species, different locations, and by different birding parties. The key idea amidst all the variables, as you note,

[cayugabirds-l] Snow Buntings; Northern Harrier

Just at sundown today, there were 3 Snow Buntings and 4 Horned Larks on the grassy shoulder of Cayuga View Rd east of Trumansburg. I often see some there. Also, there was a male N.Harrier cruising the cornfield and it came to rest on the corn stubble. Him I don't see often, Or ever. Yesterday,

Went birding today with Dan Watkins, Jon Weeks and Rich Youket. Our goal birds were the TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE at Sampson State Park and PINE GROSBEAKS all the way up at Webster Park along Lake Ontario. Unfortunately we dipped on both!! Plus the winds were so strong on Lake Ontario that we didn't
