Late yesterday afternoon around 6 PM there was a steady movement of Grackles in small flocks over my house. All heading west just at treetop level. The conditions may be marginal but Spring waits for no one. Gary

Perhaps the winds are less unfavorable close to West Hill at my place. In the evening I saw several flocks of northbound blackbirds. Although my only postive IDs were COMMON GRACKLES my suspicion is that the others were mostly Red-winged Blackbirds. Also northbound past my house at about treetop level was a single GREAT BLUE HERON. Yesterday morning in Fall Creek along Renwick I saw 15 WOOD DUCKS, 2 male GREEN-WINGED TEAL, and a passle of displaying HOODED MERGANSERS. Aythyas continue in the creeks as well. --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME> Rules and Information<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Archives: The Mail Archive<http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html> Surfbirds<http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds> BirdingOnThe.Net<http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html> Please submit your observations to eBird<http://ebird.org/content/ebird/>! -- -- 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/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/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/ --
