[cayugabirds-l] osprey

There is a pair of Osprey building a nest at the end of VanDyne Spoor Rd. They are not not very far along, but have several branches on top of a pole and flushed when I pulled up. I left and parked some distance away and they returned after several minutes. Loreta Ebert-Rumsey --

[cayugabirds-l] Broadwings building

I found my yard Broad-winged Hawks decorating a (new) stick nest with green hemlock switches this morning. The nest tree is of course right over one of my tractor trails, so I'll have to avoid going that way for a while. -Geo Kloppel -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

[cayugabirds-l] Solitary not Spotted Sandpiper

On Bone Plain Rd., W. Dryden, yesterday, at Pete's Tires. I meant to type SOLITARY SANDPIPER on the little mud flat, not Spotted Sandpiper, but all those spots on its back caused a big typo in my mind. Donna L. Scott Lansing, NY -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

[cayugabirds-l] Rose-breasted Grosbeak

I've been working with the door open this afternoon, hoping that some of my missing migrants would reveal themselves. I was just preparing a hank of chestnut bow hair (crin bronze marron clair) to go on a baroque bass bow of snakewood (Piratinera guianensis), when a Rose-breasted Grosbeak

[cayugabirds-l] OB--Sayre

I was driving down the street in Sayre, Pa. this afternoon, windows down, enjoying the sun, when the song of a N. PARULA intruded.  Must have been pretty close, but I didn't stop; it'll be here tomorrow. Steve Fast -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

[cayugabirds-l] White Throated Sparrows

While south of Auburn, the Ithaca is getting fall outs of warblers and Rose Breasted Grosbeaks, I have a fallout of White Throated Sparrows. I've had one for many days, but this morning I have at least 10 under the feeders and trolling the gardens. Some have the bright white markings and

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Thursday + Eurasian Widgeon

We also saw an Eurasian Wigeon in Knox Marcellus. There were many Green-winged Teal feeding on the mud flats, and for a second there my heart got excited with the possibility of large flock of large sandpipers, but, sad to say, no such luck. John From:

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Merlin?

Checked out the hawthorn orchards this morning (6-7am), which lacked anything too exciting (yellow warbler, ruby-crowned kinglets and many red-winged blackbirds), until at one point a killdeer-like call was followed by a falcon-like shape swooping north towards the cemetary/pharmacy area. I
