[cayugabirds-l] Hummingbirds

We have a hummingbird feeder, but it's not in a place where we can always monitor it. We first saw it used on 19 May by a female Ruby-throated Hummingbird. It was several days before we saw one/her again, but we now believe she visits regularly, although she is quiet and would be easy to

Hi Nari, I live off of Ellis Hollow Road (on Hartwood) and I have a pair of pileateds (and occasionally their offspring) that eat at our suet feeders several times a day, starting in May. They tend to disappear in late August and then we don't see them for the entire winter. I've always

[cayugabirds-l] FOY House Wren

Yesterday afternoon our first HOUSE WREN of the year popped into our yard and investigated one of our nest boxes. This is around one month later than usual. Also, on my walk around Beebe and Mundy yesterday I was hearing more RED-EYED VIREOS than I had before. Are more birds still migrating

Re: [cayugabirds-l] bald eagle swimming?

In Alaska I saw Bald Eagles swimming as described, often a few strokes before breaking free of the water. Sometimes with fish and sometimes empty taloned. On Thu, Jun 8, 2017 at 9:29 AM, cl...@juno.com wrote: > A friend who is biking through the Cascade Mountains sent this

[cayugabirds-l] bald eagle swimming?

A friend who is biking through the Cascade Mountains sent this query: We saw the strangest thing - a quite large bird was swimming in the water with it's large wings, doing a stroke that looked much like the butterfly - both wings flapping up out of the water in sync with each other. We asked

[cayugabirds-l] Fledgling(?) Louisiana Waterthrush(es) @ Mulholland

Jogging through the Mulholland Preserve at Six Mile Creek this morning, I had two encounters with low-flying Louisiana Waterthrushes chipping loudly. Without binoculars, I got to see one close in a tree, looking fully fledged but lacking a tail (which didn't stop it from bobbing), behaving as if
