[cayugabirds-l] Bald Eagle and other photos up / Derby Hill Tues.

2014-07-01 Thread tigger64 
Strong south winds brought a few raptors past Derby Hill today, mostly 
Red-tails and Bald Eagles.  I've put up a bunch of photos on Flickr, including 
the eagles, Kingfisher flying with a fish, etc.  Many new photos of birds in 
flight are now sorted by taxonomic group.


There is also a photo of an interesting bluebird, possibly Mountain Bluebird, 
that passed with a flock of E. Bluebirds in May.

[cayugabirds-l] Treman Marina Ospreys Caspian Terns

2014-07-01 Thread Dave Nutter 
Late this evening, for the first time in weeks, I biked to the lakeshore at 
Treman State Marine Park. The OSPREY family there is doing well: one adult 
(presumably the male) perched on the bowsprit, the other (presumably the 
female) stood in the nest feeding 3 large and scruffy youngsters who are 
getting their feathers but don't wear them well yet. I scoped the red 
lighthouse and breakwater and counted 24 CASPIAN TERNS, apparently all adults, 
and including a few I could see fishing. This seems like a lot to me so early 
in the season, but it didn't impress eBird, so maybe it's just that I haven't 
been keeping up. I assume these are unsuccessful parents, and those who raised 
young will join them later.
