I have a mixed flock of bright male and female birds and also young from last year. As far as I can tell, they move locally but stay all winter. Sent from my iPhoneOn Feb 13, 2023, at 3:35 PM, Deb Grantham  wrote:

We very often have bluebirds here in winter—Halseyville Rd in Enfield—but today one was checking out a bluebird box. Yesterday had a couple dozen red winged blackbirds under a feeder,
 and Saturday a single grackle.

A bright male Bluebird was spotted checking a nest box yesterday & I once again saw a gray Screech Owl sleeping in a “perfect “ hole in a tree, here at Kendal. 


Owl must have other roosts, since I don’t see it there every day.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Early migrants

2023-02-13 Thread Barbara Bauer Sadovnic
We very often have bluebirds here in winter—Halseyville Rd in Enfield—but today one was checking out a bluebird box. Yesterday had a couple dozen red winged blackbirds under a feeder, and Saturday a single grackle. On Feb 13, 2023, at 10:39 AM, Deb Grantham  wrote:







I have been seeing bluebirds around my property (Sheffield Road, Ithaca/Enfield town line) and on Bundy Road (town of Ithaca) for the last week. Not every day and only one or two at a time.

A bright male Bluebird was spotted checking a nest box yesterday & I once again saw a gray Screech Owl sleeping in a “perfect “ hole in a tree, here at Kendal. 


Owl must have other roosts, since I don’t see it there every day.
