Re: [cayugabirds-l] Follow-up communication to Cornell re mowing of hay at peak nesting time

[Jgaffne2]

Kudos to you Jody and to all who contributed to this discussion. Hopefully a 
relatively small group of informed people can make a multi billion dollar 
institution (my guess) change for the better for our environment.

Suan 
Can the peregrine Erie be seen from the overlook? Is there a trail to possibly 
catch a sighting or other recommendations?  I’m meeting a friend to look for 
the peregrines tomorrow. Thanks for any information from the Listserv as well.

There is a barred owl hooting up the hill from our home on Turkey hill right 
now at 6 pm . I can’t recall one hooting so in-close to sunset. How unusual is 
that?

[cayugabirds-l] Willow flycatchers

[Jgaffne2]

There were at least 2 willow flycatchers “fitz brewing” back and forth this 
morning across Dryden lake inlet just near a beaver dam. It’s very close to the 
Dryden trail there. Nice close up views of solitary sandpiper same location and 
teetering spotted sandpiper along the shore from my Kayak. No ducks or eagles 
but lots of frisky carp.

[cayugabirds-l] Juncos

[Jgaffne2]

In our perennial garden there is a junco nest with at least 3 eggs in the 
leaves at the base of a bush. Our cat has not found it yet but when they hatch 
I am afraid they are goners. I have relocated a junco ground nest to a platform 
near by before and they were abandoned. There is a small tree nest to their 
home. Should I 1) leave it alone 2) try to protect it better without moving it 
3) put it in the low branches of the adjacent tree 4)any other thoughts other 
than removing our cat
Thanks for any advise

 I heard the merlin so decided to see if I can see him from Mitchell street.
  
 I found him sitting on a dead branch of one of the spruces on a fifth tree

 So definitely they are nesting.
  
 So overall there are 5 or 6 pairs of Merlin in Ithaca nesting?
  
 That is wonderful!

 Hi all,
 
 Despite the wind and cold and wet, there were a few migrants a Sapsucker 
 Woods this morning, mostly clustered around the Charlie Harper bench area. A 
 BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER was foraging with a very cooperative pair of 
 BAY-BREASTED WARBLERS,  and there were numerous ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS, 
 including a young male with adult plumage but a white eyebrow, and another 
 male at the Sherwood Platform that was unwilling (but able) to fly as I 
 approached.
 
 On my ride in, I found a pair of MERLIN in the Salem Drive neighborhood. 
 These birds have been around for a week being quite vocal. Today I watched as 
 the male carried in some prey, gave it to the female, then copulated with 
 her. There is a possible nest (old crow nest) nearby, but I haven't seen them 
 visit yet.
