Re: [cayugabirds-l] Dowitchers Reported Montezuma Wildlife Drive Today around 220 pm

Sorry for the false alarm. Looking at pictures tonight, they turned out to be 
Lesser Yellowlegs. 20 stands as a reasonable count.

Had a friend who saw 20 dowitchers from wildlife drive Montezuma
Today.

He reported them from the "left side" of the main pool. He wasn't
sure if short or long-billed. I would image probably short-billed this time
of year. 

Next decent cold front won't be coming through until the weekend. I would image
after that more early migrant shorebirds will continue to appear.

[cayugabirds-l] Eastern Towhee

2017-07-04 Thread Carol Cedarholm
Hi,
I saw an Eastern Towhee, my first, on the Black Diamond Trail this week
south of  the Gorge Road crossing, very busily flitting around us as we
stood and watched,furiously singing 'drink your tea'!  Is there perhaps a
nest nearby?  Anyone else see it?
