Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ravens over Ithaca

In my (new) neck of the woods on S Danby Rd, ravens are an almost daily sighting, either at home or on the way down the hill to 96. It is wonderful to have them around after so many years without them until just a few years ago. On Thu, May 15, 2014 at 8:43 PM, Paul Anderson p...@grammatech.com

[cayugabirds-l] Myers Friday Morning

With memories of the 13 Whimbrel that landed on the spit at Myers during a rain storm a couple of years ago, I drove out there at first light this morning to see what I could see. A lone Semipalmated Plover was foraging at the water's edge. And picking through the hundreds of Ring-billed Gulls,

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Clay-colored sparrow copulation with chipping

To add to Matt's list, the Clay-colored Sparrow that hung around Lindsay-Parsons last summer was paired with a Field Sparrow. So Clay-coloreds that end up around here seem to take a liking to Chipping and Field Sparrows... On Thu, May 15, 2014 at 9:35 PM, Matthew Medler m...@cornell.edu wrote:

[cayugabirds-l] Lindsay Parson's Preserve

Yesterday. Lots of Warblers including Blue-winged, Prairie, Hooded, Canada, and Mourning (missed the Worm-eating for the moment). Warning: BEWARE of ticks! I know better, but yesterday I did not tuck in my pant legs under the socks and didn't tuck in my shirt. Two major no-nos! I had 8 ticks

Hi all, I have always believed horrible weather can provide some of the most memorable birding opportunities. Bob's Kittiwake today is a perfect example. With that in mind, and a Kittiwake under my belt, I decided to go to the Lab and look for thrushes. I thought the trails

A quick check of Montezuma this evening with Livia and Tim Lenz produced a few nice birds. The pier at Frontenac Marina in Union Springs was productive as always, with about 38 COMMON TERNS, 3 FORSTER'S TERNS, and multiple Bonaparte's Gulls. We were able to refind the male GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER at

[cayugabirds-l] Kittywake at Myers Light House

Hi all, Today I was supposed to entertain my brother and relatives in the evening, so I suggested we go to Myers! I was keen on looking for the Kittiwake but did not tell them so. As soon as we reached the point I scanned the birds at the spit, then randomly looked towards the light house
