[cayugabirds-l] Male N. Harrier

Hey All, Meant to report this before. On Thursday, a beautiful male Northern Harrier flew over the road into the field across from the airport on Warren Road. I have seen a female there at least three times. Would be neat if they breed there. Linda -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Golden Eagle

Derby Hill recorded 7 golden eagles yesterday. They also recorded over 100 chickadees moving. This is interesting, as 2 weeks ago, while at Fair Haven Beach SP, Susie I saw a large group of small birds kettling over a tree along the shore. We thought they were chickadees, but did not believe

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Palm too at Swan Pen

A Palm Warbler I saw by the Swan Pond on April 14 (possibly the one first reported by Tim Lenz at Stewart Park on the 11th) had yellow confined to the throat and undertail coverts and the breast and belly more gray (western). A Palm Warbler I saw there on the 20th had large irregular blotches of

Cayugabirders Well, I simply couldn't being myself to join the bird club's Dryden Lake trip in this morning's horrendous weather, and I do hope that the intrepid souls that did were amply rewarded. But I did go there at 4:00 this afternoon with the sun finally shining. I walked the length of

As Marie described, the weather at Dryden Lake was terrible this morning. There were three of us and we did see about 40 Common Mergansers and a couple Canada Geese on the water. We talked about hanging out under one of the pavilions for awhile, but it was truly dismal with the rain and

Re: RE: [cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Sat 4/23

Well, not quite nothing. The list for our SFO group for the morning comes to 48 species, plus 4 more leader-only species, but it's true we had a long wet walk around the pond with little to show for it. Then we went inside to dry off a bit as the rain subsided. Clearly we would have done well to
