[cayugabirds-l] Union Springs Snows Blues

This a.m. we saw about 100 Snows 4 Blues heading east over our house going towards the lake. First of the season. Sounded like little yipping dogs. As usual, no one seemed to know which direction to go, north, west, south or in a circle. Five Bluebirds have been coming regularly to check out

[cayugabirds-l] Gravel Road/Seneca Falls

Two or three mos. ago, John Van Niel wrote about spotting a new Osprey nest on a power pole on the left side of Gravel Rd., heading towards Seneca Falls, about one tenth of a mile off Rte. 318. Today I was on my way to Seneca Falls to Sauder's Mennonite store from the Glenwood Mennonite store

[cayugabirds-l] OOB/Chimney Swifts

While this is out of the basin I think it may be of interest to some who might want to add them to their list. We arrived in Skaneateles Tues. evening about 6:30 to join friends at the Blue Water Grill for a delicious meal. For 1/2 hr. before we went inside I had been watching many Chimney

[cayugabirds-l] Bald Eagle/ Kathy Strickland

Kathy Strickland called me at 2:25 p.m. from Esty Hill (Rte. 34 north of Stewart Park) to report that she had just seen an adult BALD EAGLE cruising along the east shore of the lake. Probably is the same one Ken R. reported at 1:46 p.m.. She called a bit later from Ladoga to say she saw it

[cayugabirds-l] Finally!

Don't know when it first arrived since Kathy S. I were in TX a wk. but today I saw a WHITE CROWNED SPARROW under the feeder out on the clotheline arm. Ah, the scissor-tailed flycatchers in TX were beautiful quite numerous!! And what brilliant yellow feet the snowy egret has!!! While we

[cayugabirds-l] Union Springs OSPREYS

I just observed 'our' OSPREY on the Center St/Number One Rd. nest at the NYSEG sub-station about 1/2 mile east of the Union Springs Post Office on Rte. 90. The nest is now so deep that it is almost impossible to detect a bird on it. I watched (at 10:20) until a bird stood up so I could see it

[cayugabirds-l] 1st Chipper

A VERY welcome sight at 9:30 a.m.. Our 1st CHIPPING SPARROW was hopping along the edge of the back walk either gleaning bugs or looking for the little birdseed I usually have sprinkled there for chippers song sparrows. Bluebirds are trying hard to chase away the abominable male house sparrows

[cayugabirds-l] 10 TV's @ Union Springs Academy barn silo 12:20 PM today

Nine in a row, sitting on the roof ridge one on the silo ! OSPREYS at home on their platform 1/2 mi east of Post Office on Center St aka #1 Rd John Blizzard -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

[cayugabirds-l] What did Kathy miss??

I've read Kathy's list several times at the moment can only think of A. WIGEON that she missed. We saw dozens of them. We counted 30-40 Cormorants at Knox Marcellus. We met a couple at Tschache who later followed us to the Audubon Center. The wife was anxious to get on the road after seeing

[cayugabirds-l] UNION SPRINGS OSPREYS

At 10:45 this A.M., John I observed the Union Springs Center St. Extension, Number One Road OSPREYS copulating atop the pole attached to the side of the nest platform. This is the first time we have even seen the birds at the platform this spring. No new building sticks were observed when I

[cayugabirds-l] Union Springs Mill Pond

Failed to post on Fri. 3/26/10 that many TREE SWALLOWS were swooping over the pond probably were over the lake also but we didn't have time to go there. Still saw 3 prs. of BUFFLES on the pond one lone(ly) Canada in the SE corner. Watched a crow attacking a vulture over the field out back

[cayugabirds-l] Sherwood Rd. Snows :(((

Unlike previous years, John I found no sign of any geese, snows or Canadas, anywhere around the Sherwood Rd. farm pond. We stopped to talk to the Cox's just beyond the pond to their dismay ours, apparently hunters had been allowed in the area for the first time ever. Mrs. Cox said soon as

[cayugabirds-l] Another mistake

The swan I reported yesterday north of Cayuga was a MUTE not a trumpeter. (Thanks Kathy!) I shouldn't rush when writing 'cause my thinker isn't in gear. Fritzie -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES

[cayugabirds-l] ARMITAGE not Armstrong

Hi all, Thanks to Mr. Heist Kathy Strickland for mentioning that I had used the incorrect Rd. name for the eagles. Maybe because I've known Armstrong in Lansing for no less than 30 yrs.! The eagles WERE at the ARMITAGE Rd. nesting area. However, this afternoon Kathy I struck out on seeing

[cayugabirds-l] Oh what a sight!!

There is nothing I can add to what Sue Norvell Lee Ann Van Leer have said about the tremendous numbers of Snows. I went to the Refuge the mucklands today tho' the haze was horrible for looking with the scope, the view of tens of thousands of birds was astounding. On Armstrong Rd. I watched

The article was sort of lost because of where it was. Who expects to read about birds in a crappie fishing article??? WeLoveBirds.org launched on 11 Feb. 2010 (mentioned today in the Ithaca Journal article Anglers cash in crappie derby) is an interactive online community for bird enthusiasts,

[cayugabirds-l] Leucistic duck on Factory St. Pond

Hi folks, John saw, without binox, a light colored duck on the Factory St. pond when he went for mail this morning. We went back down looked at the bird with the scope. It was rather cream colored all over with some medium tan markings on shoulders wing tips. I say that rather hesitantly

[cayugabirds-l] Redheads

John I went to Ithaca this a.m.. What a gorgeous day!!!Didn't have time to do much looking for birds but did see lots of Mallards Black Ducks on both sides of the lake. Found 2 female Common Mergs at Sheldrake. Saw a great raft of Redheads on the lake, near shore, opposite Gully Rd. north
