Re: [cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Th 2/7 (Barred Owl reported again)

I observed it in the fog at 745am but chose not to report it. I’d like to ask all to be aware that the last time I did, the crowd that showed up scared it off. Raptors have better eyesight than you and get edgy when a cluster of people gather under the tree. (which is a lousy viewpoint since it

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Angry birds (Am robins!)

Agreed! I have some pokeweed growing behind the shed, no intention of removing (or tasting) it. I went to wiki initially to see if the toxins were intoxicating Anne’s robins but there’s no obvious support for that from this plant. I have seen robins et al get ripped on late season “raisins”

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Angry birds (Am robins!)

For the record, don’t try this at home! Poke berries are very toxic to humans and many other mammals though some foxes, mice,etc are resistant, as are many songbirds that distribute the seeds after ingestion. Make sure your kids do NOT ingest these. Poke leaves are made edible only after three

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Birds' secret caches

You’ll want to pry them out. Some years ago, a squirrel stashed sunflower seeds into my exhaust pipe. OMG, there’s nothing on earth that stinks as bad as burning sunflower seeds! (:-) __ Chris Pelkie Data Manager; IT Support Center for Conservation Bioacoustics Cornell Lab of

Re: [cayugabirds-l] YB Cuckoo

There was a Black-billed Cuckoo singing (multiple triplets closely spaced) yesterday at 730am at the Lab. As I got out of the car in the staff lot, the sound was from either the trees between the drive and second lot (and bird facing away) or further over in the patch of trees on the other side
