[cayugabirds-l] Junco mating call

I’ve been hearing the junco call and seen them high up in tree tops for about a week now. They seem to stay local all winter. Usually I don’t hear them until March or April. Does anyone else agree? Sent from my iPhone -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

Does the Lab of Ornithology have any information? How are their feeders doing? any info from their Feeder Watch data collection? Sorry if I missed this info. My feeders have been relatively silent since years past as well. But it seems that the juncos go crazy when I'm not around. When I come

In case someone did not see this article on the radio tagged whimbrel, I am sharing the good news with link below. I was googling what happens to hummingbirds during a hurricane. Sounds like there are stories of them being tough and surviving, but I am more concerned for the endemic species

more of an understory tree. I think it would do well on the east side of a house with no shade. Sunday afternoon would be a good day to come get it. I can help dig. It's been there about three years. I am located near Hickey's Music, downtown Ithaca. Please contact me off-list. *---Sandy Wold

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Highlights - Correction

Thanks, Ann. There was a guy from Brooklyn there who said it was Clapper Rail and got a good photo of it when it came out from behind the reeds. Then when I checked my Peterson's Guide, it seemed to match the description, but you are right! I forgot to check its region! Boy, the power of
