[cayugabirds-l] Mystery bird

2018-02-19 Thread Carol Keeler 
Thanks to all of you for IDing my mystery bird.  I should have been able to do 
it myself.  I had a big influx of Yellow Rumps here at home eating the 
bayberries.   They were here for days,  until they finished all the berries.  I 
guess I went brain dead on it.  Thanks for your help.  I’ve got a number of 
warblers, vireos, and flycatchers to ID  yet.

That's a Yellow-rumped Warbler. A bit of yellow can be seen high on the side, 
and a little tuft poking pout at the rump too.

I’ve been editing some pictures I took last fall and have one I can’t identify. 
 It kind of looks like a pipit, but doesn’t match any picture in Sibley.  Can 
anyone please ID for me?

RE: [cayugabirds-l] FOY Robins

2018-02-19 Thread Bill Mcaneny 
Laurie reminded me about early robins. We had one last Thursday (2/15), our
FOY also.  The bird was under attack by 3 Blue Jays but defended itself
well.  It was bulkier than the Jays which probably helped it.
