Hi all, Yesterday around this time, my colleague and I watched an adult Bald Eagle come flying straight along Fall Creek from east and headed towards lake. I forgot to post yesterday. I also saw two fledged Flickers along the road behind the USDA building near Mundy Wildflower garden. As for bird food, I have been seeing many Wandering and Spot-winged Gliders which according to recent NYSDD data base (2010) were not recorded from Tompkins county, although I have been seeing them for several years including survey years! There were also five Meadow Fritillaries, I think they were all males as they were checking out any passing butterflies hoping them to be females, I think because there were host plants on the ground nearby and were expecting a female to show up. One Wandering glider was checking out each and every insect to see if it was a female he desired to find at the same spot.
