Re: [cayugabirds-l] Red-necked Grebe at Carncross road and Ravens at my house

I had heard, perhaps incorrectly, that Steve's group's Red-necked Grebe on the SFO Montezuma overnight trip was at Van Dyne Spoor Road. At any rate I did not see it then, and only found the one at Carncross Roat on 25 May which is when eBird reports for it start. I don't think it could've

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Red-necked Grebe at Carncross road and Ravens at my house

You are right, it was at Van Dyne Spoor road. When I wrote Carncross road the image in my mind was of Van Dyne Spoor. Anyway Carncross is not far from Van Dyne Spoor as Grebe flies. Could be injured by variety of reasons, not only by shooting. Meena Haribal Ithaca NY 14850

Wow, I love this listserve and learn so much from it! This Robin behavior observed explains why I feel like a local Robin has been dive-bombing me every morning I walk out into my back yard (downtown Ithaca). She must have babies nearby. She had a nest nearby last year which was attacked by

Thanks for these postings: I was on cuckoo alert because of them, and got a Yellow-billed calling in the dawn chorus yesterday at 530am (heard from bed: I am an adherent of the Rosenberg-Yong School of Recumbent Birding now) and again yesterday about 430pm as I stepped out to walk the dog. So

Sorry for the late report, but my earlier email decided not to send itself. Around 11:15 I had 3 Sandhill Cranes fly over me. I was on State Street near the bridge to Brindley St. They were headed West. I lost track of them when they went over West Hill. -France --

[cayugabirds-l] Ruddy Turnstones at Myers

Cluster of seven Ruddy Turnstones on the spit at Myers Park at 11:15 am. Scattered when bothered by a ring-billed gull but then reformed into a tight pod facing the wind. Also a flight of a fifteen or so peeps flitting around. Guess I'll have to do the shorebird ID course (again). --

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Red Knots, plovers

I just got a call (5:10pm) from Dominic Sherony who was at Montezuma earlier today. He says that when he arrived at Carncross Road about 11:30am there was a flock of 40-50 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS in the air along with some RED KNOTS - he's not sure how many. They had apparently been put up by an

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Red Knots, plovers

Very few shorebirds on the ground at Carncross at the moment, but three RED KNOTS just flew over with three Black-bellied Plovers. Perhaps more noteworthy still, a GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE was sitting with a small flock of Canada Geese in the water. They all just took off and flew north. On May
