[cayugabirds-l] vultures over Mt. Pleasant

2014-09-29 Thread cl...@juno.com
Mid-day Sunday we watched for about an hour as multiple kettles of vultures appeared over Mt. Pleasant and drifted west over the compost piles on Stevenson Rd. The groups varied in size from 10-40 birds. Only saw one black vulture that was part of a group that passed quickly to the south.

2014-09-29 Thread Sue Rakow
Lately in the woods during the day I have been hearing a call/sound that is like a low clack/ cluck at uneven intervals. It could be described as horseshoes on pavement. Some older some softer. I can never seem to get near to the sound. Any ideas what it might be from so little information?

If you can't make chipmunks fit, you night consider Turkey moms and their half-grown poults. They're trading alarm clucks right now. -Geo Kloppel On Sep 29, 2014, at 4:57 PM, Sue Rakow sue.ra...@gmail.com wrote: I know chipmunk chatter quite well so am not sure of this. It is a loud sound
