[cayugabirds-l] Scissor-tailed Flycatcher in Chenango County
Scissor-Tailed Flycatcher Today (yesterday Tuesday) just about 6 o'clock I received a call from Gail Benedict that she was looking at a Scissor-Tailed flycatcher. She was in a small cemetery in Pharsaalia. Go to Lower Cincinnatus, take the Brackle Rd.(Rte. 23) towards Norwich continue a few miles past The Brackle Bar Grill, the Pharsalia Cemetery will be on the left. The bird was very approachable mostly sitting on a wire fence on the far side of the cemetery. Also there is a pair of Bluebirds using a box in the back corner near where the Scissor-Tailed was hanging out. The bird was still there when we left about 7:30 PM. Here's the Facebook link to the photos: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CNYNaturalHistory/633497283418351/?notif_t=group_activity Great Find Gail! thanks, Matt Young -- 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] Clay-colored/Chipping Sparrows
Hi all, A couple days late to the discussion, but one of the two years Clay-colored Sparrow showed up at the xmas tree plantation on Lick Street Summerhill, I witnessed the bird copulating with a Chipping Sparrow. The other year it seemed to be an unmated bird. I think they were present there in 2005 and again in 2011 or 2012. cheers, Matt Young -- 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] Courting Merlins in Dryden
Hello all, I stopped today at Bard Prentiss' in Dryden and observed a pair of courting MERLINS. They were calling and wing fluttering as they kept flying back and forth Rt 392 going in and out of a tall Norway spruce. As you come into the 4-corners in Dryden stay straight and birds can be heard a few houses up. cheers, Matt -- 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/ --
