[cayugabirds-l] Starlings
While some of you have had Grackles and Red-winged Blackbirds, with hawks and Crows showing off in your yards, I had about 200 Starlings and my usual 25 Pigeons & 4 Crows here , decimating my feeders in the snow today! Good entertainment for the two indoor cats! We did have a Rough-legged Hawk seen by a good birder here a couple days ago, but I did not see it. And the local Screech Owl has been seen in his hole off and on. He/she looks asleep, but I can tell it is looking at me from the bottom of its eye slits.

[cayugabirds-l] A large cluster of Red-winged blackbirds
This morning we were visited by a cluster of more than 200 red-winged blackbirds at our front yard. The red-winged blackbirds would fly in and purch on our hickory and other tall trees, swoop down to feed at our feeders, then fly off together within a span of 3-4 minutes. This occurred twice this morning between 10-11am. It was quite a sight!

[cayugabirds-l] more blackbirds!
I just had a good 100 Grackles and Red-winged Blackbirds in my Newfield back yard. They flew up into nearby trees after decimating the feeders. Then came a Red-tailed Hawk to perch in one of the trees, and then came 6 Crows to mob the hawk. It's really starting to sound like spring with all that noisy activity. The resident Ravens are becoming more active these days as well.

[cayugabirds-l] Hungry Grackles
We just had a flock of Grackles stop by to chow down at the feeders. There were a couple of Redwings mixed in with them. Regi West Hill in the city. Creativity is the heart of adaptive evolution.
