[cayugabirds-l] Interesting call

Hi all, On Tuesday, along Tower Road near Dairy bar, I heard a song, a 3 note trill and ending with down slurred tseew or some times two tseews coming from the pines. I think it is a Junco variation. I recorded with my cell phone video, so it is not a great quality. It is on the youtube at

[cayugabirds-l] Raven

About 15 minutes ago I stepped out of our house on Vine St. (off Mitchell) and was very surprised to hear a RAVEN calling. Are there more than one?? I saw 3-4 large black birds circling in the direction of East Hill Plaza. Couldn't tell for sure what they were, as they disappeared beyond

[cayugabirds-l] grebes, warblers, etc.

I spent the late morning and much of the afternoon at Newman Golf Course, the Cornell Biological Field Station (aka Jetty Woods), the whtie lighthouse, Renwick Sanctuary, and Stewart Park.I think the biggest story was the number of grebes. In a single scan from the white lighthouse I saw 31

Re: [cayugabirds-l] grebes, warblers, sparrows, snipe, etc.

In addition to seeing Dave Nutter at the end of the lighthouse jetty, I had nearly identical counts as Dave did from Stewart Park shortly after noon today — only my count of HORNED GREBES was even higher than Dave's, as I counted at least 56 including many along the east shore that Dave might
