On our beginner bird walk this morning Lisa and I and three visitors saw
a large flock of blackbirds fly into a couple treetops. We were almost
to the Sherwood platform. They just did not seem to fit "Starlings" .
Longer tails and they sounded different. Getting the scope on them we
saw
Hi All,
Looking at this weekends weather, I decided to change the bird trip to

I ventured up the lake after 1 pm to try and find the Snow Buntings and
Horned Larks Bob reported yesterday. I first saw the manure on the
field from Jerry Smith Road, but the birds were very distant, closer to
Davis Road. I drove down Jerry Smith and turned south onto Davis. They
were very
This afternoon, about 2 PM, I was driving North on Conlon Road in
Lansing. Just past where Searles Rd extension comes into Conlon Rd. on
the right - at an angle, there are cornfields on both sides. There were
thousands of Blackbirds on both sides, in the road and in the
surrounding treetops.

This morning, Leigh Stivers and Michael Haupt joined me for walk around
Stewart Park and the Renwick Woods. It was raining very lightly and
eventually stopped for awhile. A Pileated Woodpecker greeted us, calling
loudly from the top of a telephone pole near the Railroad tracks. On the
lake the
The Cayuga Bird Clubs Dryden Lake Trip this morning was very successful
despite the dismal weather forcast. I had four people join me. We scoped
the lake from under a pavilion to start, as it was lightly raining.
There were 13 Bonapartes Gulls, a Pie-billed Grebe, Canada Geese, 4
Bufflehead, 2
The flight of geese yesterday was amazing. I walked the Yorkies east on
Mt. Pleasant Road, around 11:30 on. At the top of the hill east past my
house you could see lines of geese both east and west, heading N. With
my binocs, I could make out lines of geese west of the Observatory and
to
I first heard a Yellow-billed Cuckoo on the 17th, but it had not made
the "kddow Kddow" call. Just single notes, and not very loud. Listening
to the calls of both Black-billed and Yellow-billed I determined it was
a Yellow-billed. The past couple days it has been calling and making
the full
I also enjoyed watching two beautiful Fox Sparrows this morning, kicking
up a storm on the soft lawn under a spruce tree. One found a larve of
some sort. It would whack it on the ground and mash it in its bill,
back and forth. It took several minutes but managed to eat the whole
thing.
Sorry-late post. I walked the dogs a short ways down the tower road
yesterday 11/26. (Hunting in the woods at the end of that road) As we
were walking back towards Mt. Pleasant a flock of birds swirled up from
the east side of Tower Rd. I suspected Red Polls and returned just
after 10 am
Apologies for the late report.
Yesterday I was at Tschache Pool with my sister, (2:15 pm) and we were
watching one adult Bald Eagle and two Juvenile Bald Eagles soaring high
over Tsachache Pool. The Juveniles engaged in some acrobatics and one
flew towards the other and turned upsidedown and
This morning as I walked the dogs I also heard my FOY Yellowbellied
Sapsucker drumming in the woods behind our house on Mt. Pleasant Rd.

I was with Jill Vaughn and others this past Wednesday on Scofield Rd.,
to look for the Short-Eared Owls. Three came from directly over the
tree farm and stayed towards the west side of the large field. We
watched from near the end of Scofield, close to Buck Rd. There is a
rise in the
This evening about 6:30, while working in my garden, I heard the call of
a Common Nighthawk among all the other birdsongs I was hearing. I quick
ran out onto the lawn and did manage to get a look at it. It was flying
east. Moving right along, and disappeared over the treetops. I did see
I stopped at the corner of Willow Crossing and Purvis Rd. just after
noon. I parked on Purvis near the little boggy areas on both sides of
the road.
Nothing new to report but it was delightful. Lots of singing going on.
Some new ones for me this year:
3 Northern Waterthrush, 2 on the south
How could I forget- the barn Swallows arrived back at the farm today.
On Cornell Lane, about 4 miles south of Dryden.
Good birding!

As Marie described, the weather at Dryden Lake was terrible this
morning. There were three of us and we did see about 40 Common
Mergansers and a couple Canada Geese on the water. We talked about
hanging out under one of the pavilions for awhile, but it was truly
dismal with the rain and
On Sunday May 23ed, I led a half day trip to Summerhill with the Cayuga

Bob Packard, Bruce, Paul, and Don. Later we met up with Bobbie and Linda
