[cayugabirds-l] Bald Eagle / R-s Hawk
Yesterday while walking along Boiceville Road in Brooktondale I was treated to an excellent view of a fairly low-flying RED-SHOULDERED HAWK circling over the fields as it slowly made its way north. My first of the year for this species. Also yesterday, at the Lindsay Parsons Biodiversity Preserve in West Danby, an adult BALD EAGLE flew over, again slowly and circling higher and higher until it was a dot in the sky. This bird was also headed north. Annette Annette Nadeau Director of Support Services Hospicare Palliative Care Services of Tompkins County, Inc. 172 E.

[cayugabirds-l] Common Teal
On 30 March I vented my frustration on this site about not seeing the Common Teal while at the same time I was rejoicing that John had gotten to see it. Next day, 31 March, Kathy Strickland planned to swing by the refuge to again look for the elusive bunch of colorful feathers. Lo ... she found them, gave me a call, my lunch preparations were ignored off I went while Kathy kept watch to try to keep said teal in view. Once there, Kathy told me in what general area to look HEY I found THE bird!! It was a bit disappointing after having seen the really close up pix taken by Jim Tarolli, David Nicosia Jay McGowan. Good thing I got there had good looks because minutes later a vehicle went by all the ducks flew. We were near the north end of the visitor's center pool at the first road turn. Thanks again, Kathy. Needless to say, by the time I got home, John had had a bowl of soup for his lunch! Yesterday, daughter, Becky I went to Oswego, Sodus Point Fair Haven. Sunny day but the north wind was bitter waves were crashing up over the breakwaters. Sodus Bay had many Red-breasted Common Mergansers ... (Becky insists Commons should be called Magnificent, esp. after seeing a male in full mating plumage, with the bright red bill, about 25 ft. away). Sodus outlet gave us views of 7 Long-tailed ducks, lifer for Becky. Oswego had little to offer but Fair Haven had 20 Trumpeters. 1 PB Grebe, C. mergs, many Ring-billed ducks Buffles. Becky had never been anywhere north of Auburn so she enjoyed the new scenery the new routes. Son, Jim, was with a CU Co-operative Extension group at Lindsay-Parsons yesterday. Said he saw a Bald Eagle fly over so maybe Annette Nadeau was a part of that group since she also saw an eagle. Kathy I saw an eagle just south of there last yr. I was told by a local resident where to find the nest. Becky I also saw an osprey on the 1st pole along 5 20 east of 89, our 1st for the yr.. We're watching all the platform nests we know about, esp. the one across the field from our house as well as 2 new ones. Sixteen turkey vultures are calling Union Springs their summer home for 2011, apparently roosting down in the swamp. Union Springs gas was $3.50 last I looked. Has anybody rejoiced ... or been comforted at the Cayuga Lake Creamery lately?? Ice cream for loon sightings!! Yeah! Happiness is .. lotsa' feathers bird songs seeing colorful spring flowers. Don't mention greenery noise of lawn mowers ...
