[cayugabirds-l] TVs
2 TVs sitting on my shop roof. Ominous sign. A third on a branch over the shop. Don't think I will work in the shop today. May be a good Idea to check behind the barns for something dead or dying. Hope it's the neighbor's killer cat. Hope the neighbor is not on this listserv.

[cayugabirds-l] goose plight?
We visited the Fall creek gorge by the Ithaca Falls the other day midday. Sitting on the south side at stream level, I looked way up. On the highest cliff, wedged at the very edge by a fallen tree etc, was a Canada goose. Not sure it could get out of there - being checked out by turkey vulture and redtailed hawk.

[cayugabirds-l] Blue-headed Vireo
In my yard I've had a Blue-headed Vireo this morning, a few Ruby-crowned Kinglets, and a new group of brightly-painted White-throated Sparrows. Still have Fox Sparrows singing. I just spotted a Blue Jay carrying nest material into a clump of young white pines, the so-called cabbage trees. Ravens are making a big racket up on the high hill. The Crows seem to be pressing them pretty hard. -Geo -- 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/ --
[cayugabirds-l] East Hill Osprey is back
I just saw an Osprey from office window heading to East Hill form Beebe lake site. It might be the same one!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hermit thrushes and insects
Thank you for the email. I too am going to order the book. I forwarded the link to colleagues at US Fish and Wildlife too.

[cayugabirds-l] Grackles
I know it is not that exciting for most of you - but I just noticed a Grackle carrying nest material into one of the conifers next to the house. I’ve had them raising young (and recorded the juvenile begging calls) in past years. But this is the first time I have noticed a nest site. I’m looking forward to checking on progress. And Eastern Towhees - are back, adding their songs to the broadening dawn chorus.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] TVs
I hate to see people expressing violence toward cats but I understand. I keep my cats indoors. It keeps area wildlife safe from them and them safe from area wildlife (including speeding cars and roving dogs, by some of which [dogs], I have been attacked while biking.) But my neighbors let both cats and dogs go all over and do whatever. Extremely aggravating!! On 4/17/2015 10:14 AM, Bill Mcaneny wrote: 2 TVs sitting on my shop roof. Ominous sign.

[cayugabirds-l] Palm Wabler!
Hi all, I walked out of work just before 4pm (front door of the Lab of Ornithology) and started walking on the Wilson trail south. Just before entering the forest proper a flash of color caught my attention. Imagine my pleasant surprise when it turned into a brightly colored Palm Warbler chasing insects. I wasn’t expecting anything but maybe Yellow-rumped Warblers for a little while longer. A very nice way to start my weekend. Jody Jody W.
