This morning our SFO group went to Jetty Woods to admire the Great Horned Owl and two fledglings reported earlier by Dave Nutter. From the pump station, go past the big puddle about 20 yards, look to the right for a large fallen log right next to the trail. That log log points approximately in the

[cayugabirds-l] (Released?) quail in yard.

In the last 10 days Karen and I heard a quail once and several days later saw it once at our feeder. Given the many hours we watch, it does not make many visits to our feeder or we would have seen it more often. We live on the south end of Hammond Hill. I wonder if anyone knows who may have

[cayugabirds-l] hummer

About 1:30 a male Ruby-throat showed up at the feeder that has been primed for a week. Shirley's work has not been in vain. Now, where is the Oriole? The orange slices await. Bill McAneny TBurg -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

Starting at around 8:30 this morning, I drove the road to the bottom of Shindagin Hollow, getting out frequently along the way. It was pretty quiet except from numerous singing BLACK-THROATED BLUE and GREEN WARBLERS, but on the way down the hill , I found a

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Incubating Merlin - S Titus Ave

Perhaps the same Merlin I witnessed nailing a redwing or starling on Spencer Rd. near the roundabout. He attacked across the northbound lane, luckily there was no southbound traffic and I was able to stop to hold off the truck behind me and the catch was flown off back across the lane into the

A pair of Merlins are incubating in White Pine on South Titus AVe. The nest and the favorite plucking tree = sentinel tree are easily seen from public land, particularily the dike along Six-mile Creek (beware of dog poop). The nest is in the western-most block of S. Titus Ave., behind Meadow

[cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler - Village of Lansing

A male Mourning Warbler was singing along the Village of Lansing Greenway this morning. He was mostly hidden deep within the honeysuckles along the path, but popped out a few times in response to pishing. Perhaps even more interesting was that it was the only warbler I turned up during a short
