[cayugabirds-l] Redpolls

I just had at least 30 at my feeders. I wondered why the feeders were emptying so quickly. Good birding, Ann Mitchell Sent from my IPhone -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http

They are still here eating hulled sunflower seeds and Niger seed. They are expensive to have around! Ann Mitchell Sent from my IPhone -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Redpolls again!

I have never had this many Redpolls. I am feeding them the EXPENSIVE hulled black oiled sun flower seeds. They really like that. Guess the more you pay, the better outcome. Best, Ann Mitchell Sent from my IPhone On Apr 2, 2013, at 10:40 AM, Marie P. Read m...@cornell.edu wrote: I have had

[cayugabirds-l] SFO trip yesterday

I forgot to mention a highlight. At Mudlock, we looked at the eagle's nest. I noticed the adult standing on the side of the nest looking down. Soon two fuzzy heads appeared! Good birding, Ann Mitchell Sent from my IPhone -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com

[cayugabirds-l] Spring Ornithology Woodcock and Owl night

Dave Nicosia and I joined together to take some SFO members to hopefully see Woodcocks and Owls. It was a very calm and warm evening which is great for owls. First we went to Irby Lovett's home in Ellis Hollow. There were 2 very active Woodcocks penting and making fluttery sounds with their

[cayugabirds-l] Regarding the ago trip and owls

Normally if I am calling in owls, I start with the small owls. I was told on good authority last night that Barred Owls dont bother Screech Owls. That is the only reason I did it in that order. Best, Ann Mitchell Sent from my IPhone -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com

[cayugabirds-l] Birds

At Dryden Lake there were 20 Cormorants and 7 Common Loons. So far I have counted14 Juncos and a dozen Redpolls at my feeders. Shouldn't the Redpolls go north? Gary said they like the food I am giving them and the warm weather feels like they are in Florida! Ann Mitchell Sent from my IPhone

[cayugabirds-l] Field Sparrow

After searching for Field Sparrows yesterday in different fields (in the non-stop winds) I ended up hearing and seeing one at the Swan Pen after seeing the Audubon's Yellow-rumped Warbler. It is always surprising what you can find there. Good Birding, Ann -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

Linda and I walked there this afternoon and it was quiet. We did hear Brown Thrasher, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Pine Warbler, and the regulars. No Towhee for us. Best, Ann Mitchell Sent from my IPhone -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http

[cayugabirds-l] SFO Morning Trip

Eight people joined me for a GREAT morning of birding. The sky was blue and it was not too warm. We stopped two places. First, we stopped on Dodge Road (off Stevenson Road) where there is a nice stand of spruces. The only warbler we saw was a YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER. Then we heard and saw a BROWN
