[cayugabirds-l] Redpolls still around Mt. Pleasant

[Gladys Birdsall]

Driving home just after noon today, as I approached my driveway, a group 
of  Redpolls flew up from the field on the north side of Mt. Pleasant 
Rd, into the treetops on the south side.  It looked like about 20-25 
total.  I got out to look at them.  Quite a few flew back into the woods 
further.  Others sat in the treetops close to the road, resting and 
preening.

Good birding,

Gladys

[Linda Orkin]

Wow Tobias  I think we'll all be heading out to see this.  Thanks for the
update.  I, for one, am relieved.

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Tues 4/9

[Mark Chao]

On Tuesday morning, a VESPER SPARROW was offering very long and close views
along the far parking lot and roadside portions of the nest-box knoll in
Sapsucker Woods.  This lot is perennially an excellent location for close
viewing of this species in the second week of April (including the gravel
portions out toward Route 13, as well as the grassy edges and small nearby
trees).



I also saw a WILSON’S SNIPE in the Fuller Wetlands.  I spent a few minutes
scanning for Sunday’s woodcock near the Podell Boardwalk, but didn’t find
it.

[cayugabirds-l] Raptor possibly trapped by cable on Cornell Boathouse

[Tobias Dean]

   My wife met friends at the Boatyard grill and saw a large raptor,
possibly an osprey, that seemed to be tethered by some line on the higher
part of the CU boathouse. she noticed it at 6 and it was still there when
she left more recently. It seemed to hover quite a bit and a pole was
leaning as it did so. She tried the vet school and a nuisance wildlife
person with no luck.
  I am wondering if someone from the lab would have a better idea of
how to approach this issue.

 Thanks  Toby Dean

[cayugabirds-l] "tethered raptor"!

[Tobias Dean]

Lest any anxious readers of this list saw my message last night, after a
West End appointment this morning I went to see for myself and immediately
saw the tethered critter was an admittedly realistic bird scare kite
attached to the Cornell Boat House.
 Messages have been sent, eye appointments made etc. I myself have
never seen such an effective kite before.

   It will be interesting to see if the gulls become habituated to it over
the season.

My apologies


Toby Dean
