[cayugabirds-l] BW @ Mulholland

Saw a black and white warbler in the Mulholland wildflower preserve this morning, accompanied by a backlit plain-colored warblerish friend I wasn't able to see clearly but am guessing was a blue-headed vireo, which was heard singing elsewhere in the woods. In the (presumed) redtail nest atop

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Laughing Gull, Myers Point

I was driving toward Ithaca from an outing in Danby when I got Jay McGowan's 0733 RBA of the Laughing Gull passing Myers. I was home unpacking when I got David Weber's 0759 that it was by the lighthouses at the south end of the lake. I decided to try for it, and hiked north on the Cayuga

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Laughing Gull, Myers Point

As expected, this morning was an excellent one at Myers Point in Lansing. Light winds and mild temperatures made for pleasant viewing, marred only by the cacophony trucks and backhoes loudly cleaning up the beach and spit all morning. Highlight was the flyby LAUGHING GULL, a near-adult with black

Here by Cayuga in Lansing a brief walk to the shore yielded a magnificent pr. of Pileated Woodpeckers mating in a tree, a charming Phoebe singing, and a kingfisher zipping down the lake. Plus a pretty male Mallard and the mother Ca. Goose incubating her eggs in the huge flower pot on the

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Fledgling great horned owl?

Hi Claire, This sounds like a really cool observation (and yes it is a Great Horned Owl), but in the future I would advise others not to post specific locations of potentially vulnerable birds. If this bird has been abandoned and/or isn't doing well, it would be better to not send people there who

[cayugabirds-l] Laughing Gull

I found the Laughing Gull at 1345 h sleeping on the grass with Ring-billed Gulls across the cass park marina inlet. Something spooked the gulls and they took off. When they resettled the LAGU was replaced by a Caspian term. I then refound the LAGU swimming by the jetty. From the
