Re: [cayugabirds-l] Young fledgling Cedar Waxwings
I'll put out the word to some local falconers to see if anyone has lost a bird.

I was walking on Baldhill Road, past where Station Road meets, going up to the pinnacles, when a raptor shows up. I’m guessing it’s a Cooper’s hawk, but I don’t know raptors well. It followed me when I went off the road to check out the stream, and ended up hopping up to me on a fallen log. It was about 7 feet away, and not the slightest bit afraid of me. Then I noticed each leg had a piece of triangular leather wrapped around it with holes for a string to go through. So it was somebodies pet raptor. This was on Sunday and I’m sorry to have waited so long to post about it. I’m assuming it was looking for a handout. Has anyone been missing a pet hawk?

[cayugabirds-l] Young fledgling Cedar Waxwings
Hi all, I encountered two cute, short-tailed and obviously recent fledgling Cedar Waxwings this evening at the Hile School Rd wetland. They sat next to each other on a branch begging with open bills ( showing a bit of yellow at the corners) at an adult that landed near them. The adult fed both of them, even having to move to another perch to reach one. I would guess they fledged not much more that a week-10 da ago. They could and did fly, and didn’t just sit waiting for the adult. This seems very late but I have not yet checked to see what the last nesting dates are in NYS. Summer isn’t over til the last fledgling flies???
