Re: [cayugabirds-l] Meadow lark

[Dave Nutter]

I’ve just seen Diana’s photos. It looks like an Eastern Meadowlark to me. 
The location is just east of Ovid, SW of and a block inside of the curve of 
NYS-96, on Center Rd east of County Road 129.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Meadow lark

[Alicia Plotkin]

I assumed she meant Center Rd and not Center St, which is in the Town of 
Ovid, due east of the village. Try putting 2600 Center Road Ovid into 
Google & you'll get this intersection, which often has interesting birds 
- a Snowy Owl spent 4 mos there several years ago.

[cayugabirds-l] snow buntings across lake (E side)

[Donna Lee Scott]

I had about 225 snow buntings on Atwater Road between Mahaney & Route 34B 
around 1:30 pm, but they flew away before I could scope them to look for other 
species.

I & another birder in sep. car re-found a few of them in this general area, & 
as far west as Center rd near King Ferry winery.
They won’t stay put!

Also 100s of American Crows in area.

& ~460 Eur. Starlings in tall trees by Belltown Dairy by county line 
(Tompkins/Cayuga).

Re: [cayugabirds-l] snow buntings

[Nancy Cusumano]

There are often buntings on/around Perry City rd, at intersection with
Krums Corners going N, and the fields around that area.

[cayugabirds-l] Pileated Woodpecker drumming

[Marie P. Read]

Hi all,

On my walk on Mt Pleasant Road this morning, around 11 I heard the drumming of 
a Pileated Woodpecker echoing from deep in the woods on the south side of the 
road. With the lengthening days, it won't be long before some of our other 
winter residents start adding to the chorus. Maybe they already are elsewhere 
in the region?
Also a lone Snow Bunting along the roadside. 'Bout time they showed up!

Marie

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bald Eagle & geese

[Alicia]

There's a particular call Loons make here (Seneca Lake) and I assume 
elsewhere, that inevitably means an eagle will be sweeping through 
momentarily.

[cayugabirds-l] Bald Eagle & geese

[Donna Lee Scott]

As I was in back yard filling the birdfeeders ~9:30 am, suddenly about 200 
Canada geese, honking wildly, flew from a few 100 feet of shore length, low out 
over the water, and landed in the middle of Cayuga lake.
An Amer. Crow was calling wildly too.

Soon I saw the reason: a mature Bald Eagle swooped by over the shoreline from 
north to south!
