Re: [cayugabirds-l] Great Blue Heron Rookery

[anneb . clark]

Actually they came in last week as reported by the residents at Hile school rd and Red Mill.  Assuming same rookery. Maybe 14-15 th. I haven’t seen any foragers at the HS Wetland yet. There is a wonderful little beaver pond withAnother 8-10 nests back along the old railroad that starts by the bridge at Malloryville. He said they were back there also. AnneSent from my iPhoneOn Mar 21, 2023, at 8:08 PM, Andrew David Miller  wrote:

[cayugabirds-l] Great Blue Heron Rookery

[Andrew David Miller]

The long standing GBH rookery that is roughly half way between Freeville and 
Mclean (northwest side of Fall Creek Road, in a large marshy area adjacent to 
Fall Creek) started to repopulate yesterday and had almost every nest occupied 
today.  Roughly a dozen birds.  The birds that nest here are incredibly 
consistent with their timing.  Although I lost a couple of years due to the 
pandemic, the last year I actively checked this site daily was 2019 when the 
birds arrived on March 19th and 20th.

[cayugabirds-l] Great Blue Heron Rookery

[Andrew David Miller]

The great blue heron rookery in Malloryville, between Red Mill Rd. and West 
Malloryville Rd and best viewed from Fall Creek Rd., has been repopulated by 
returning great blue herons over the last few days.  My daughters and I counted 
seven there late this afternoon, all occupying different nests and 
intermittently chasing one another.  That number is similar to what have nested 
there the last few years so I don't except numbers to get much higher.

Cheers-
A.D. Miller

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Great Blue Heron - Upper Buttermilk

[Peter]

Larry and all.

I, too, spotted a Great Blue during our weekly raptor survey at the 
Montezuma NWR yesterday. I asked it if it wanted to borrow my compass, 
but it politely said no, it had learned how to both orient AND navigate 
a few seasons back. (smile)


It WAS a pleasure to see one at this late date.

Happy Holidays to each of you!!

[cayugabirds-l] Great Blue Heron

We just flushed a GREAT BLUE HERON from a small pond at the corner of Hall Road 
and Munson Road in Interlaken. I suppose since the water has not frozen yet it 
still has food available!

[cayugabirds-l] Great Blue Heron breakfast

[Judith Thurber]

While checking Bluebird boxes on a golf course that runs next to a small 
stream, I saw a Great Blue standing with something dark hanging from its mouth 
that caught my eye.  The Heron was shaking a rodent.  It would put it on the 
ground and pick it up to shake it again.  He repeated this about 10 times 
before swallowing the critter.  Quite a large mouse or vole I would guess.  I 
was at quite a distance.

Sadly in one box, I had one dead bluebird young with two others alive and 
hopefully well.  I was glad for them to be able to remove their sibling, as the 
odor -- although I guess they don't have much sense of smell -- was memorable.

It's nearly time for Cardinal Flower blooms, and I hope to see some along the 
banks of the golf course stream as in past years, but the stream was dredged up 
last year with the soil piled high along the banks and the plants may not have 
fared so well with the massive upheaval.

[cayugabirds-l] Great Blue Heron

[W. Larry Hymes]

Little late in posting, but day before yesterday I was very pleasantly 
surprised to see a GREAT BLUE HERON flying at the back of the Tompkins 
Co. Solid Waste/Recycling Center.  I'm always amazed how they find 
enough food to survive the winter.  Actually, in some way or another all 
birds amaze me!!

[cayugabirds-l] Great Blue Heron

[Sara Jane Hymes]

Amongst the Grackles, Robins and Redwings singing away this morning, a 
GREAT BLUE HERON flew over East Ithaca Rec Way--Honness Lane.  It must 
mean that the waters are opening and crayfish/frogs becoming available.


Larry and I are on our way up the lake to see what other goodies we can 
spot!
