Hi all, Early morning gardening (5.45 to 7 am) in my yard, I had some interesting birds to hear and see. I heard Black-billed cuckoo call once cu cu cu. I also heard a Yellow-throated vireo calling from across. This is a new bird for my yard list. I also Heard Red-eyed Vireo and two days ago there was a warbling vireo singing in my yard.
Cardinals have babies in yews but very well hidden. Parents take circuitous route to reach babies. Song Sparrows are also having babies in rose bush. I have not yet found where the catbirds are nesting in the yard. But the pair is very anxious when I am around. AM Robin had a nest near my garage door, but I think the eggs got predated. A House Wren has been bringing females to a nest box on my walnut, but somehow it looks like the females are not impressed by the box. I did see one female go inside and check it out. But he keeps advertising the location to females. Lots going on outside, but only no time to look at them:( Cheers Meena Meena Haribal Boyce Thompson Institute Ithaca NY 14850 Phone 607-254-1258 http://meenaharibal.blogspot.com/ http://haribal.org/ http://haribal.wikispaces.com/space/showimage/wildwest+trip+August+2007+.pdf<http://www.geocities.com/asiootusloe/http:/www.geocities.com/asiootusloe/mothsofithaca.htmlhttp:/haribal.wikispaces.com/space/showimage/wildwest+trip+August+2007+.pdf> -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
