Re: [cayugabirds-l] Little Blue Heron - Van Dyne Spoor Rd. MNWR

2013-07-22 Thread Kenneth V. Rosenberg
Dave Wheeler was of course the third birder from Syarcuse I met last evening at 
East Road. I watched 28 Great Egrets head north from Knox-Marcellus to roost 
somewhere -- I guess you guys found the roost. Now the question is, did we miss 
the LBHE among the egrets at East Road?

Nice Find!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Red headed woodpecker continues Mays point

2013-07-22 Thread Ray Zimmerman
Thanks for this pointer … my 12 yr old son was very happy to be able to add 
these to his summer bird photography project. We saw two red-headed woodpeckers 
among those dead trees and he got some nice photos and a bit of video of one of 
them in a bush eating berries.

[cayugabirds-l] Addition to Shore birds at K-M MNWR

2013-07-22 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal
Hi Ken and all,
I too was there at Knox Marcellus in the evening for a short time. I was 
scopeless as I had not anticipated going birding but was kayaking the Owasco 
Outlet from Throop to Port Byron. Thanks to Jason Hawks?
I was able to enjoy a short time scan through the scope for shorebirds. I did 
not find anything exciting as others but we did have a WILSON'S SNIPE feeding 
for a short time before heading off to hide somewhere. I did see some tons of 
yellowlegs, few peeps and Pectoral Sandpipers.
I also enjoyed the pair of Red-headed Woodpeckers at May's Point.

Cheers
