[cayugabirds-l] Some birds from California (pics)

I was visiting friends in the Bay Area this past week and had the good sense to carry my camera with me. I managed to see (and photograph) several life birds, including White-tailed Kites, Acorn Woodpeckers, Lazuli Buntings and Marbled Godwits. For those who are interested, here's a link to the

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler territories?

And likewise! I've been looking to photograph one for years now and haven't had much luck, so I would love any tips on where to find one. I'm also looking for Hooded Warblers if anyone has a lead. Thanks! Raghu On Tue, May 15, 2012 at 6:26 PM, Kenneth Victor Rosenberg k...@cornell.eduwrote:

Re: [cayugabirds-l] another red-tailed hawk nest

Thanks to the tip-off from Ray and Evan, I visited this site today -- if you haven't seen this nest yet, you owe yourself a visit! It's a spectacular location, on the north face of the Fall Creek gorge, with easy viewing to be had from the bridge on Stewart Ave. I was there from around 6:00-7:30

[cayugabirds-l] OOB: Point Pelee Birds (pictures)

I just spent the past week or so in Point Pelee National Park in Ontario while waiting for some paperwork to come through from Toronto. I couldn't have picked a better spot to spend that time; though Pelee didn't experience one of it's famous fallouts, the birds were very much there. It just

[cayugabirds-l] Evening Grosbeaks and more (pics)

Following Matt Young's reports of Evening Grosbeaks from Shackham Rd. on Saturday (thanks Matt!), I made the drive up to Morgan Hill State Forest last morning. And sure enough, the birds were exactly where he described. During the ~2 hours I was there, the feeders hosted ~20 EVENING GROSBEAKS

[cayugabirds-l] Myers Tundra Swans (pic)

I took a drive up the east shore of the lake on Friday morning. I was hoping to find some waterfowl rafts, but had no luck. However, the frigid overnight temperatures (-5F according to my car thermometer!) and the clear skies at daybreak created some dramatic fog on the lake surface. And

[cayugabirds-l] Amherst Island questions

I'm thinking about driving up to Amherst Island the weekend of the 26th to look for some wintering owls to photograph -- particularly Saw-Whets (and anything else would be a bonus). To those who are familiar with the area -- is this too late in the season? Also, if people have other tips

RE: [cayugabirds-l] NO Snipe

I tried Stewart Park this afternoon to see if I could get some pictures of the snipe, but couldn't locate it. I did get great pictures of a decoy coyote however. Raghu From: bounce-7679996-7194...@list.cornell.edu

[cayugabirds-l] Myers PM -- Baby Mergansers (pics)

I spent a couple of hours at Myers Park this afternoon and found a nice assortment of birds including a GREEN HERON, a BELTED KINGFISHER, a SPOTTED SANDPIPER, a pair of PURPLE MARTINs, and several BARN, TREE and ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOWs. The show-stealer, however, was flock of ~20 impossibly cute

I spent a couple of hours this morning on the Wilson Trail north, mostly on the little section adjoining the main pond near the outlet/north feeder. The highlights of the morning were ~8 YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERs and 1 PALM WARBLER. Couple of pictures from today:
