[cayugabirds-l] Gyrfalcon no

Ann and I took a scouting trip around the Stillwell / Searsburg Road intersection in Trumansburg to check on the reported Gyrfalcon. A fool's errand it may have been, but as it was Friday night why not. No rare sightings except a particularly aggressive, handsome, white turkey defending his

Had our first Brown Thrasher in our yard at 120 Vine St. in Ithaca. Beautiful bird. It was literally "excavating" for insect larvae with its long bill.= Since 1998, our earliest first yard sighting before this was April 10!! Larry Hymes Sent from my iPhone -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

RE: [cayugabirds-l] a surfeit of urban vultures?

Anne, there are a bunch (8?) of TVs that roost in the firs behind the community center, so you happen to be in their territory. What may seem to be more birds may just be that you are close to the mother lode. Enjoy them. They are a different kind of bird. Bill McAneny, TBurg -Original

[cayugabirds-l] Sharp-shin back on territory

Sharp-shinned Hawks have nested in my spruce plantation for decades. Today It appears the owner of this territory has just returned from somewhere to resume his traditional proprietorship. He's moving all about the area, fit and very vocal, and I just saw him closely chasing a hapless crow, as
