147 Hile School Rd: First (in my irregular birding around the paths) bobolink singing hopefully over a patch of golden rod stalks that the red-winged blackbirds call their own. And first blue-winged warbler (or maybe 2) in the breaking tree buds, foraging and singing, and a first catbird,

[cayugabirds-l] B. Orioles

Hot Dang! A pair of Balt, Orioles were pecking at the orange slices all day today. It just seems to take a little longer for the species to filter into the habitats on the west side of the lake, but we check every day once the birds are spotted on the east side. Another example: yesterday a

[cayugabirds-l] Downtown Parula

In the apple blossoms of Washington Park, a Northern Parula was singing both songs and foraging low and close enough to be admired with the naked eye (one of those "wish I had my camera with me" moments). Amid the wind-blown movement could be spotted at least three other warbler-like birds just in

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Observation

Hm, Carol, I've wondered the last 2 or 3 yrs. why narrow strips of bark have been peeled from a cedar tree. Didn't look like where a deer had rubbed its antlers on the tree yrs. ago. I noticed the missing bark when I went to get thin strips of bark for our son when he was here teaching

Pair of Canada Geese with four goslings strung out between the adults, currently moving north along the west side of the lake. My guess would be the same pair who raised a clutch last summer. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: May 9, 2016

Today was a cold but nice morning to be at the Hawthorn Orchard. I was pleasantly surprised by the appearance of many neotropical migrants in at least a few different flocks. Highlights include: 12 species of warblers, 21 Ruby-crowned Kinglets (everywhere), and at least 42 White-throated

[cayugabirds-l] Observation

I just watched something cool through my kitchen window. A starling was peeling bark off my River Birch. I assume it was for nesting material. I've watched birds gather many nesting materials but never peeling bark. Sent from my iPad -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:
