[cayugabirds-l] Black-headed Gull - credit where credit is due

I have noticed a few ebird reports that state I found the BHGU. It was Ken Kemphues who originally found what he thought was a Bonaparte's gull. There were 5 of us, Ken, Diane Morton, Suzanne Giffin, myself and of course Bob McGuire who was leading the field trip. After looking at bird we

[cayugabirds-l] American Crows calling after dark

I had a fire in my burn pit this evening well after sunset in the dark. I thought I heard a crow caw in the distance a few times. Then I was certain as the bird came pretty close to my house overhead. There was other american crows cawing at times too for at least an hour or so between 800 and 900

Re: [cayugabirds-l] US population trends; time frame for bird study

During our guided shorebird walk this morning, which was attended by 60-70 people, we had a large number of AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVERS flyover with some landing. There were a few smaller flocks but I and others got on a larger flock of medium sized shorebirds moderately high up. I was able to get my

[cayugabirds-l] Major Diurnal Migration in the South Central U.S again

All, I wonder what is moving and how common this is. I will have to look at some archive data but I bet this is a normal occurrence. I wonder what types of birds: swallows, swifts, nighthawks, icterids, waterfowl, cranes??? see https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Conus/full_lite_loop.php Dave
