[cayugabirds-l] Red Headed Woodpeckers

Just got back from Mays Point to photograph the woodpeckers. A baby was sitting its head out quite often. There were even some food exchanges. One time I caught the parent with two grapes. When I look at my images I may find insects too. The baby was most active between 9-10. You can only

[cayugabirds-l] Red Headed Woodpecker

The woodpeckers seem to feeding the babies both insects and berries. The parents certainly don't go to the hole with food as often as you would think they should. Of course, we don't know how many young they are feeding. Here's an image of a feeding. I hope to add more images later.

[cayugabirds-l] Possible other RHW Nest

Yesterday while photographing the Red Headed Woodpeckers and young, my friend John Garofalo took and interesting picture which I would like people to look at and comment on. In the picture you will see a parent looking out of what we have believed to be the only nest hole. In a tree to the

I hadn't seen any in weeks, then a couple showed up. Again, I haven't seen any in days, but I'm keeping my feeders up for those flying south and need a place to stop. Sent from my iPad -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl identification

Thanks ! The information was very interesting, especially about the birth order partly determining the degree of whiteness or barring. Sent from my iPad On Dec 11, 2013, at 2:34 PM, John and Sue Gregoire k...@empacc.net wrote: Thought some would be interested in this presentation:

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl location info

I found the Snowy on Martin Rd. today. I called the number for the Lott Farm and got no response. It may be because of the holidays. I also found the Snowy on Aunst Rd. on top of the gas well and another on 96a , again on a gas well. They were great for viewing,but too distant for

[cayugabirds-l] Martin Snowy

Since my phone would not send out the message until I got home, I didn't know if I should collect it or not. My friend, Diana Whiting, went to see it after I told her about it. She got ahold of Dave Kennedy, so she has collected the bird. It will be going to the Lab. Arrangements for that

[cayugabirds-l] Bluebirds

I had a spring treat early this morning. There were 3 Bluebirds squabbling over a nest box. There were two males for sure, but I could only find one female. There may have been another female that I couldn't find in those low light levels. My Bluebirds have to battle the House Sparrows for

Had 4 Cowbirds yesterday. Just found 3 Grackles on the feeders. The Bluebirds have been here daily in the early morning. The feeders are busy as would be expected with this storm. Sent from my iPad -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

[cayugabirds-l] Harrier

Just had a fly over from a male Northern Harrier! I haven't seen one in my neighborhood since a house was built on the lot next door, so maybe in 13 years. Last time I saw one locally it was on the polo field in Skaneateles in winter several years ago. It flew back across Rt. 20 to the farm

[cayugabirds-l] Osprey

Saw my FOS Osprey on the bridge near Mays Point. It sat on the cross bar probably wondering where its nest had gone. I went through the wildlife drive around noon. Lots of gulls. It sounded as if I were at the ocean. There were a few GBHs , one lone Harrier, and a pair of Tundra Swans,

[cayugabirds-l] Snow geese

Between 5:00 and 6:00, I saw flight after flight of Snow Geese. I'm half way between Skaneateles and Auburn. They were mostly going east toward Skaneateles. They seemed to taking off from farm fields near me. Sent from my iPad -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:
