[cayugabirds-l] Red-tail crowd 
While slowly cruising Armitage Rd. yesterday afternoon, I kept hearing a 
RED-TAILED HAWK constantly cheeeing.  As soon as I spotted the bird, 
3 other birds flew up to it wondering what all the fuss was about - 
GOLDFINCH, CEDAR WAXWING, and a tiny BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER that appeared 
to look the hawk directly in the face!  The hawk apparently didn't like 
the crowd and promptly flew off.

Sara Jane and I were treated to good looks of a LEAST BITTERN at Larue's 
Lagoon.  We got to show the bird to a family from Florida.  It's really 
nice to be able to get out of the car at designated areas along the 
wildlife drive!!

We, too, saw large numbers of GREAT EGRETS at Knox-Marcellus.
