[cayugabirds-l] Pine Siskins, Rose-breasted Grosbeak - Wed. morning

I was holding out hope that the lingering Common Redpolls at our feeders would last into May, and although they haven't yet put in an appearance today, a small flock of six Pine Siskins was a nice consolation prize, along with a female Rose-breasted Grosbeak. -Scott -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

[cayugabirds-l] Barred owl, Sapsucker Woods

Migrants seem very slow today (Hawthorns were all but dead and Sapsucker Woods isn't much better), but Livia and I just had nice looks at a BARRED OWL with a mouse up on the Severinghaus Trail between the Wilson Trail intersection and the trailhead on the road. It was up in the canopy on the west

[cayugabirds-l] Hummingbird

Hi all, On Sunday, Braam Bezuidenhout had a hummingbird coming to his feeders, as well as an Oriole. This is in the Ellis Highlands, east of Ithaca and off Ellis Hollow Rd. I just learned of this, therefore the late posting. Laura Laura Stenzler Lab Manager Fuller Evolutionary Biology

HI everyone, While photographing in the Cornell Plantations Arboretum this morning, I came across a leucistic Chipping Sparrow in essentially the same spot where I'd seen it last fall (when it was part of a flock). The bird gives the appearance of being almost all white at first sight, but it

[cayugabirds-l] White-throated sparrows - gone!

Easy come, easy go!! Sunday night droves of WHITE-THROATED SPARROW migrated in, to the point that we had 50+ in our yard. Last night they decided it was time to move on. This morning I counted only a single bird!! Such a sudden turnaround is enough to make one's head spin!!! We also had 3

[cayugabirds-l] House Wren

My House Wren has returned, singing up a storm. It must be quite disappointed to see his normal home occupied by the House Sparrows. I put up a new house by an evergreen it favors. Hope it will take. Diana Diana Whiting dianawhitingphotography.com -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:
