Re:[cayugabirds-l] Yellow-Headed Blackbird Endicott, NY
Tim and I went to see the Yellow-headed Blackbird this morning. It's still in the small marsh next to school. I am copying David Nicosia's directions below. The view into this marsh from the road to the soccer field is outstanding. When the bird is up and perched in the marsh, it can be seen easily with binoculars. The bird is spending long periods of time down inside a thicket about halfway back on the left side of the marsh. In our experience, when it popped up, it perched for a few seconds, flew to the left edge of the marsh in trees and on the ground, and then returned to the thicket, perched a bit more and then dropped back out of sight. When we arrived at about 11:15, Victor Lamoureux had been scanning for 30-45 minutes without seeing the bird. Fortunately, the bird popped up about 15 minutes later, just as lots of people arrived to see it (and Victor returned from checking nearby roads). It only stayed up for a few minutes. Then it was down for about 15 minutes before popping back up for a few more minutes. When it was up, it perched in the open long enough to give everyone amazing looks. What a beautiful bird! Anne Marie Johnson Directions: To get to the marsh, you drive down route 26, the google earth address is 1329 union center maine highway, endicott, ny. You basically drive down route 26 and turn right before you get to the Ann G. McGuinness Intermediate School. There is a road which leads up to the soccer fields for the school. The Marsh is on the corner of route 26/union center main highway and the road that leads to the soccer fields. You can park by the marsh.The roadoverlooks it from above so you can get good views. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! --
