[cayugabirds-l] Ringwood Rd Ruffed Grouse
Hi all, As I drove up Ringwood Road from Ellis Hollow just now, near the crest of the hill there was a somewhat foolhardy Ruffed Grouse strolling nonchalantly out into the road. I swerved and luckily it flew off unharmed.

[cayugabirds-l] Brant
Just had a flock of 50 or 60 BRANT flying and vocalizing over Hospicare here on South Hill, headed northeast. What a thrill! Also lines of Turkey Vultures streaming northward. In the shrubs, lots of Bluebirds, Robins, and Yellow-rumped Warblers, with numerous Red-winged Blackbirds chack-ing in the cattails.

[cayugabirds-l] Brant direction
Apologies. I meant to say the Brant were headed SOUTHeast -- not northeast.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Brant Turkey Vultures
Although I believe Annette's is the first report to Cayugabirds-L of Brant in the Cayuga Lake Basin this fall, it turns out several observers have been quietly reporting them to eBird: 100 on 3 Oct at Martens Tract by Shawn Billerman Mike Harvey 125 on 4 Oct at Stewart Park by Mike Harvey 40 on 10 Oct from Collegetown by Glenn Seeholzer 42 on 11 Oct at Stewart Park by Jessie Barry Chris Wood Today was a big day for Turkey Vulture migration. I think it was around 2:30-3pm as I drove from Ithaca College to the airport I saw about 100, about 1/5 strung out over south hill to go up the Cayuga Inlet valley, 3/5 in a big kettle over NYS 13 just east of Warren Road, the a few minutes later the other 1/5 working their way south over the airport, Sapsucker Woods and the Northeast neighborhood, plus others during the day. --Dave Nutter On Wednesday, October 14, 2009, at 10:23AM, Annette Finney afin...@hospicare.org wrote: -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES Archives: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

May be I watched the same group of Vultures from the campus. I was walking from BTI to Day Hall and right near Dairy Bar I saw this huge congregation at 15 to 10 minutes before 3.00 pm. It reminded me of Veracruz hawk watch as they were gaining height. I also saw several Red-tailed Hawks, they were way above vultures and they were going simply non stop and were slightly bigger than dots. I must have seen at least 10 of them. Then another group of TV's was seen from Uris Library around 3.10 PM that were mainly flying over downtown Ithaca and I would think about 25 of them. I also saw a COOPER's HAWK from my office window heading south east.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Brant
Hi all, a bit of boundaries but relates to this subject. Saw around 1000 Brant Geese on several flocks (biggest I saw was some c.300 birds) flying over Coney Island from 1:30-4:00pm, and thought to myself later there will be postings on Cayuga Birds... :) Cheers, Pedro 2009/10/14 Annette Finney afin...@hospicare.org Just had a flock of 50 or 60 BRANT flying and *vocalizing* over Hospicare here on South Hill, headed northeast.
