[cayugabirds-l] 11 Lesser Black-backed Gulls at Stewart Park

Hi all, Late Tuesday afternoon I birded Stewart Park shoreline for a bit to see if I could find any Green-winged Teal. I was able to find two males feeding close to shore by the tennis court. I then saw a Lesser Black-backed Gull in beautiful breeding plumage down by the

[cayugabirds-l] Western Tanager

thanks everyone for the tips and advice on locating the bird. We found it easily and got nice close views, as it popped in and out of the yew shrubs near the entrance to the Cornell campus store. This was between 12:30 and 1:00 pm today. Cindy Marino Rochester, ny. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Osprey

I saw no osprey in Cayuga nor did I see any in my travels today. A lady walking the Seneca Trail along the river took a picture of a male hovering above the platform (seen from the bridge on Rte. 5 & 20, just E. of MNWR entrance) & showed it to the lady at the desk. MNWR main drive will open

I have had 2 PINE SISKINS in with my many A. GOLDFINCHES here at my feeders over the last 2 months or so. The siskins more or less stick together and many days I do not see them. Also, along with all my usual feeder birds, I saw a juvenile BALD EAGLE soaring around and then perching on my

I've missed seeing any Pine Siskins at my feeders this year - until today, hooray! But I'm pretty confident they've been here when I wasn't looking. My next-door neighbor even picked one up a few weeks ago after it collided with her window. -Geo Sent from my iPhone -- Cayugabirds-L List

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Western Tanager location

There is no restriction so as to use of the lenses and tripods on the campus. I think so as long as you are not harassing the bird. It is only ethical question. If you see the bird is getting stressed then you stop. Meena Haribal Ithaca NY 14850 42.429007,-76.47111 http://www.haribal.org/

Just outside of the Basin, Hile School Road: Since Thursday 17 March, only two rather than a dozen American Tree Sparrows have visited my feeders. They are here this morning, and one just did “crest-up" at the other, which kept crest feathers flat—I assume two males. This morning 19 Mar, the

Hi Cayuga birders, I will be coming to Ithaca from Rochester today. Just want to check on location for the bird. Is it at the Cornell Store on campus at 135 Ho Plaza? Thanks for your help. Cindy Marino -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

I thought I glimpsed a Phoebe yesterday out the window, flitting away from last year's nest under the eaves. I didn't see it again, or hear anything, but this morning at least one is singing in the sunshine here. Earlier, the same or another one was singing near a different nest site on a

I enjoyed really nice views of two COOPER'S HAWKS this afternoon over the pond behind Hospicare (South Hill, Town of Ithaca). One hawk was chasing the other and giving the "kek kek kek" alarm call. I don't often hear these birds vocalize, so it was quite a thrill! Annette -- from my phone --

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mall birds

Correction: I think the lone tree is actually a cherry tree. I know starlings are "bad birds" but their breeding plumage is actually quite striking in the sun. Melanie On 3/17/2016 4:47 PM, Melanie Uhlir wrote: > > Two Killdeer are pulling worms out of one of the planted barriers at > The

This morning I biked to Stewart Park and found several new birds. Where the Cayuga Waterfront Trail goes behind the Cornell Rowing Center I heard an Eastern Meadowlark song. Tracing the sound to the top of a tree, I expected to see a European Starling, but instead it was the real thing. After
