Re: [cayugabirds-l] Any sites of large snow geese numbers?

In my experience, “the big push” can start anywhere from the last week in February - 3rd week of March at the Montezuma Wetlands Complex. And specifically in the towns of Savannah, Tyre, Seneca Falls, and Montezuma. Last year the peak was around March 8-11. I have some wild pictures/videos

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mealworms

Thank you. I have already done all the internet searches. In the end they have turned up "dried" mealworms only, not "live" mealworms. Shipping live mealworms is expensive and stressful on the live larvae (translate: mortality). I thought/hoped that local bluebird enthusiast might know something

[cayugabirds-l] Any sites of large snow geese numbers?

I’m just wondering whether anyone has seen large numbers of snow geese near the northern end of the lake yet? I’ve been up twice and have only seen one fairly long, narrow strip of snow geese, but nothing like the numbers of the past. Is it too early? Lanie Wilmarth Ithaca Sent from my iPhone

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Early migrants

Replying to Deb -- As I understand it, the less-colorful males tend to winter further north - basically anywhere they can find productive open water. I often see males along the west side of the lake in Jan and Feb. Marc On Mon, Feb 13, 2023 at 11:51 AM Deb Grantham wrote: > Do kingfisher’s

A small flock of 10-12 Grackles went over my house at dawn, headed north. Yesterday I had an Eastern Bluebird feeding on the grassy bank below my house. This morning I‘m hearing their “turalee” calls as they pass overhead, and even full songs from several scouts checking out the nest boxes.
