Hello All,
I've been seeing what can best be described as a pale Black-capped Chickadee at
my feeders this winter. The cap is pale brownish grey. It looks like a
Black-capped Chickadee in every other way. It is very shy, so I've had no luck
getting a photo. Could this be a Boreal Chickadee?
I live in Caroline. A friend was helping me with some gardening a few days ago
and she observed what appeared to be an altercation between a rose-breasted
grosbeak and an indigo bunting near some lilacs. Then, we found what looks to
be a dead female indigo bunting on the ground.
Any ideas
Has anyone else noticed a lack of tree swallows? I usually have them lined up
on my power line and nesting in boxes in the yard, but this year I've seen just
one or 2 at a time.
Any explanation?
Thanks,
Michele Brown

The mowing information/resource is very interesting. It seems to be directed to
people with 15 acres or more. I have a 5 acre field that used to be in hay, but
which is slowly going to scrub (right now it's mainly goldenrod) because we
stopped having it cut. Could someone direct me to

Cayuga Lake Basin? I'm up the hill from Route 79 in Slaterville.

Red-tailed Hawks were spending a lot of time separately and together at the
tower on McGraw Hall. Could they be working on a nest? Has anyone else noticed
this activity? I didn't have my binoculars with me.

Does anyone know if the university has plans to remove the nest in the light on
the athletic field? As my bus proceeded down Tower Rd. this morning I noticed
one of those small cranes nearby and a worker looking up at the nest (could be
a coincidence). Would it be legal to remove the nest?
For the past few months we have occasionally heard what I think can best be
described as insistent squawking by our back door during the evening. I think
it sounds like a bird. It seems to be coming from a large lilac bush near our
back door. Since it's always dark when it happens I haven't
A couple of people have suggested this might be a squirrel. Grey squirrels make
a sound that seems to be close, but then I checked the sound flying squirrel
sounds and they seem really close (based on memory). I wonder if there are 2
living in one of our bluebird houses. I thought they were
