A flock of about a hundred red-winged Blackbirds descended into the backyard trees this morning at about 9am. I wonder if they had migrated through the night... -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES

I heard Red-winged Blackbirds in the trees just before entering the compost pile area off Stevenson Road. On leaving, I saw 4 male Red-winged Blackbirds in a tree singing. It is hard to believe that spring is around the corner. Good Birding, Ann -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

Susie I were at the Observation Tower at the Visitor Center at MNWR this evening at 1800. The din of RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDS was a welcome Spring tonic. From the tower, thousands could be seen in numerous flocks of various sizes flying to and fro over the Main Pool before settling in for the

I wasn't even sure if we'd go out at all today, but after a family discussion weighing the possibilities, I got one taker for the proffered bird hard option. So Tilden and I headed up the lake again late on Saturday afternoon. Those three hours turned out to be the most satisfying winter outing

At about 4:30 today, Tim Lenz, Luke Seitz and I had a ROSS'S GOOSE flying overhead with a group of about 200 Snow Geese headed out to the lake over Dean's Cove. We don't know where the bird ended up, but it's around somewhere! - Brad -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

As far as I know, the Slaty-backed Gull was not found today at Oswego Harbor. I know Judy Thurber and Andrew VanNorstrand looked and found a Lesser Black-backed Gull. Lisa Welch and I looked between 2:15-2:45 pm with Bill Purcell but there were few large gulls. We checked again between

This afternoon, I drove around some open-country areas near Ithaca and Dryden, hoping to pick up some field birds. I was rewarded right away by a NORTHERN SHRIKE behind the Ithaca Airport -- the bird (a crisp and frosty adult) was on top of a thin tree on Snyder Rd. directly across from the

Hi all, After getting a late start I spent a little time birding at the south end of Seneca Lake (Schuyler Co.) and then scoping the lake near Dresden (Yates Co.) today. Nothing really unexpected for this time of year, but since it was the first time I've been up along the lake in a while a few
