I birded behind my house in Groton today. I saw or heard nine different warblers- highlights being a PARULA and BLACK-THROATED BlUE. Lots of YELLOW- RUMPS. I also saw a ROSE BREASTED GROSBEAK, and 2 male BOBOLINKS. A VEERY was calling, but I didn't see him. Plus, I flushed out a HORNED LARK.

[cayugabirds-l] Yard Birds: Louisiana Waterthrush, Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker, Ruffed Grouse

I have had some fun new yard birds this week.   About a half an hour ago, I heard a Louisianna Waterthrush in the creek across the road.  I believe I heard it a few days ago as well, but was able to hear it better and confirm it this morning.   There has also been a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker

[cayugabirds-l] Dryden birds: snipe, rough-legged hawk

After some crow trapping at the compost today (2 crow species; raven came down but didn't stay), I went out to chase the birds that other people had in Dryden today. I found a couple of PECTORAL SANDPIPERS on George Rd, and also 4 sleeping WILSON'S SNIPE along the fence that goes into the pond

[cayugabirds-l] Yard birds, 3/27/10

On Saturday, Susie I had brief yard visits from our first-of-year YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER and NORTHERN SHRIKE. The latter was a bit surprising as I had thought they had all gone north. While working, I watched the sky in the afternoon, but saw only a few locals. Apparently Ken and Derby Hill

Aside from the usually expected winter species I had a BROWN-HEADED COWBIRD show up at my feeders this morning. The EVENING GROSBEAK is still hanging around, and gave Shannon goods looks at a life bird for her this morning. Bill Baker - This message

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Blue Birds Blow Flies

Good point, Dave. This procedure has been around for many years, and I've never seen it suggested that it's not legal, but you may be right. Dave Nutter wrote: Perhaps disturbing an active nest is technically illegal even if in this particular circumstance when done properly it is beneficial

[cayugabirds-l] Weekend birds

Hi all, I went up the east side of Cayuga Lake yesterday, and then again today with Tom Johnson leading a small field trip for ornithology. Here are my highlights: Saturday, 30 January 2010 Stevenson Road compost - GLAUCOUS GULL (2nd cycle, somewhat small-bodied but with diagnostic bicolored

[cayugabirds-l] Campus Birds

The PEREGRINE FALCON was up high on Bradfield Hall at 4:50pm this evening. While waiting to be picked up a short time later I counted 84 AMERICAN CROWS in one minute while standing on Tower Road, all headed in the general direction of their nighttime roost. Good birding, Ryan -- Ryan Douglas

[cayugabirds-l] Groton birds

I birded the woods behind my house today. The highlight was a brief glimpse of a HERMIT THRUSH. I saw a REDTAIL fly down a field, calling as he flew. I flushed out a single COMMON MERGANSER on the Groton Gun Club pond. There were also a couple large robin flocks. Bruce Packard Groton

[cayugabirds-l] Monday Birds

I was driving to my job site this morning, and I saw a kettle of about thirty Turkey Vultures over the Ithaca High School. Then I was driving down Randolph Road in Cayuga Heights, and a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers were hopping around on a tree in someone's front yard. Bruce Packard Groton
