[cayugabirds-l] TVs, Killdeer

Late this afternoon there were 9 TVs circling low (tree top height) at the intersection of Falls Rd and Cayuga View Rd north of Taug. S.P. A little bit north on Cayuga View there were 2 Killdeers next to the road between the cornfields, probable nesters based on past year's experience. Bill

Dear fellow birders: As we hunt marsh and field, wood and beach and ridge during this very special (and ephemeral) time of year seeking those journeying birds we love - and find deep satisfaction in the doing - here is some food for thought from a kindred spirit. "There is symbolic as

[cayugabirds-l] Carolina Wren Fledgelings

The pair of Carolina Wrens we have been feeding all winter have 4 or 5 fledgelings, which are growing rapidly and very active.  Tey are now eating  some bugs and peant butter on their own, though the parents still seem to be feeding them.     Dave Streater. --

[cayugabirds-l] CBC Trip - Hawthorn Orchard: May 15, 2016

This morning, 15 souls braved the crisp WNW winds for a morning walk at the Hawthorn Orchard for the Cayuga Bird Club. Despite the conditions, everyone got really nice looks at several accommodating individuals. Also, I was informed today that I had my count off from yesterday’s tally of

Whoops. Paul Pflanz gave me a heads up that he photographed Red-tails on the nest in newman yesterday. The wind was whipping up ‘horns’ on the adult on the nest in Newman this monring so after searching in vain for the owlets and freezing down in Jetty Woods I am now convinced that I

[cayugabirds-l] More Sapsucker Natural History

I want to share two more observations I’ve made of Yellow-bellied Sapsucker behavior near their nest, which is easily visible from my stationary eBird count in the woods beside my house. The first is from one of my counts during yesterday’s Global Big Day. I have had the fortune of watching

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Sun 5/15

Adding to Mark’s observations, I’ll add a potential Willow Flycatcher or Eastern Wood-Pewee in the same general area as the Lincoln’s Sparrow. I only saw the flycatcher for a handful of seconds in the shrubs along the edge of the pond, but in that time I failed to see a partial or complete

I thought that the birding was just as good in the sheltered wooded areas of Sapsucker Woods on Sunday as it was under much more temperate conditions on Saturday. Here are some highlights. * LINCOLN’S SPARROW along the edge of the small pond by the maintenance building, East Trail *

Cold and windy up here, but I've still got little groups of migrants moving about: several more Tennessee Warblers, another Northern Parula (a singing male this time), a Swainson's Thrush, Black-throated Greens and Blackburnians that don't seem to be the local breeders, Yellow Warbler, plus
