RE: [cayugabirds-l] South End 4May2011

Also of note, there were several Bonaparte's Gulls at Cass Park this morning. Binocular-less, I counted at least 9 Bonaparte's among Ring-billed Gulls, all walking around one of the soccer fields adjacent to the Cayuga Inlet. Later, they dispersed from that location and ended up near where the

[cayugabirds-l] Photos of some recent sightings - Great Horned Owls, Common Tern, Northern Waterthrush

Last Sunday Harold Mills and I went into the Fuertes Sanctuary in Stewart Park in search of owls. We found ourselves in even deeper water than we had anticipated--it quickly overcame our tall boots but we soggily waded on. Finally found two GREAT HORNED OWL fledglings sitting snuggled together

[cayugabirds-l] a bit of spring!

[cayugabirds-l] Rose-breasted Grosbeaks

I arrived home from town this evening close to 7PM to a rather nice surprise - 4 male and 1 female Rose-breasted Grosbeaks on my porch feeders all at once. The feeders are about 2 ft apart, so I was able to see them all through a single window. I have never seen so many of this species in such

[cayugabirds-l] Common Moorhen, Stewart Park

Jeff Gerbracht found a COMMON MOORHEN in the cattails in jetty woods along Fall Creek across from boathouse area at Stewart Park late this afternoon. I was able to refind the bird late this evening after a lot of searching, probably visible from Stewart Park halfway between the boathouse and

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma and Myer's Today 5/4/11

Wasn't planning on a trip today but when radar showed that it was raining from Binghamton and points east, decided to head west. Getting tired of birding in the rain!! First stop was Myer's and I had 2 ORCHARD ORIOLES, 1 singing near the entrance and the other across the Salmon Creek. Even

[cayugabirds-l] Feeder birds: Baltimore Oriole, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and Siskins

*This morning at 6:30 am., I saw our first backyard male Baltimore Oriole five years. It was competing for suet with a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak, of which I’ve had a small flock for several days. I’ve put out lots of string, twine, and grape vine strips for the birds to nest with and hope the

[cayugabirds-l] A few first of years at Sapsucker Woods this AM for me

45 min chilly walk this AM from 720-805 around N Wilson trail and a swing by Fuller Wetlands got me 3 real FOYs and a technical. I full-capitalized only these for you scanners. Before I even opened the Lab door, I scanned the terrain, as many birds get close to the Lab and swinging the door

[cayugabirds-l] Dodge Rd: Bobolinks, E.KINGBIRDS, Kestrel, Palm Warbler, etc.

I walked down Dodge Rd at 5:30pm in a slight drizzle under cold overcast skies. A female Kestrel was keeping vigil in the lone tree standing in the middle of the uppermost (South) field. Her colors looked beautiful in this light. Four E.Kingbirds flew in from the east across the lower fields

[cayugabirds-l] Hammond Hill birds and backyard PIne Siskins

A very chilly scouting trip to Hammond Hill this morning turned up singing Winter Wren, Blue-headed Vireo, and Ovenbird, plus calling Common Raven and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. Back home, a flock of 18+ PIne Siskins has taken over the nyjer feeder and many are singing wheezily away! Marie

[cayugabirds-l] Mundy WFG early afternoon

While taking photos for the basin birding site guide in Mundy Wildflower Garden around 2:00 today, I heard the buzzy song of a Blue-winged Warbler and later the bright song and chatter calls of a Baltimore Oriole. The wildflowers are looking lovely! Marie Marie Read Wildlife Photography 452
