[cayugabirds-l] TVs

2015-04-17 Thread Bill Mcaneny
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?

2015-04-17 Thread Judith W. Jones
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.  Anything to be done?

[cayugabirds-l] Blue-headed Vireo

2015-04-17 Thread Geo Kloppel
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.

[cayugabirds-l] East Hill Osprey is back

2015-04-17 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal
I just saw an Osprey from office window heading to East Hill form Beebe lake 
site. It might be the same one! (For the sceptics - Don't ask me how I know it 
the same one, but the route it seems to take is familiar to both me and the 
osprey)

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.

 Meena's wonderful book (link below) gives some info on migration of odonates

 darners that are showing up now hatched in the deep south, or even in 
 Veracruz, and came north on more-or-less the same timetable as the 
 Broad-winged Hawks.

[cayugabirds-l] Grackles

2015-04-17 Thread bob mcguire
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

2015-04-17 Thread Melanie Uhlir
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!!

[cayugabirds-l] Palm Wabler!

2015-04-17 Thread Jody W Enck
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.
